Depression and Suicide

[evangelist6589]

Any of you struggle with depression or suicidal thoughts? If so there is hope for you.

EXIT: The Appeal of Suicide

Not sure when the DVD version will be available but I imagine in the next month or so. I think Ray and the staff at Living Waters did a great job at tackling a very common problem in our society today and perhaps also in the church.

I'm torn. First of all, thanks for posting this. I think this is an issue that should be covered more, not necessarily in the pulpit, but definitely by church ministries.

I have suffered from depression, anxiety etc. I'm not sure I want to open myself up to more of it by listening to Ray Comfort talking about the law, but I hope it helps someone.

I agree. It is a topic that needs to be address (and has actually been addressed for some time now). I do worry about it coming from Ray Comfort because he has a tendency to get into waters that are over his head....and here that could be dangerous to someone who is suicidal.

Yes. He posted.

He is saying that Ray is unqualified to talk about this. But maybe he is just producing it and has professionals doing it.

I I hope that he understands this area better than he does Sotierology of the scriptures!

Yeshua1. You do not want to hear what I have to say.

 

[Yeshua1]

Yeshua1. You do not want to hear what I have to say.

I would be interested!

 

[evangelist6589]

I would be interested!

You do not know what you are talking about!

 

[Yeshua1]

You do not know what you are talking about!

In regards to what?

 

[JonC]

He is saying that Ray is unqualified to talk about this. But maybe he is just producing it and has professionals doing it.

Exactly.

 

[evangelist6589]

Exactly.

Wrong. Ray is very qualified.

 

[JonC]

Wrong. Ray is very qualified.

What are his qualifications?

 

[evangelist6589]

What are his qualifications?

Have you watched the TBN interview I posted?

 

[saved41199]

Is Mr. Comfort a licensed psychologist?
I have struggled with depression and PTSD for a long time. I'm under the care of qualified medical personnel. Churches and ministries that immediately discount suitable MEDICAL care and medications if necessary are dangerous. VERY dangerous.

Now...evangelist6589, you are welcome to talk whatever smack you choose here and say what you wish about what I deal with, however, I know your "advice" is more dangerous than it is helpful. If you haven't walked a mile or two in my shoes or in any other sufferer's shoes, then you need to hush up.

 

[JonC]

Have you watched the TBN interview I posted?

Yes, I have. What are Ray Comfort's qualifications?

 

[Don]

Yes, I have. What are Ray Comfort's qualifications?

He wrote a book and made a video?

 

[JonC]

He wrote a book and made a video?

I wonder if his next book will be on knee replacement surgery.
