Do scientologists have higher suicide rates?

look it up on google.com and see i don’t think they do since tom cruise is one and he has shown no signs of suicide

I’ve worked with thousands of other Scientologists for the last 30 plus years and I do not know of a single suicide in that entire time. Scientology provides the actual technology to live a much more fulfilling life. When you have the answers to life, why would you want to shorten it?

Statistically, the index of suicide among Scientologists is quite low. Scientologists do not let depression go untreated. They handle it through counseling, through a change of environment, throug becoming more causative and responsible for their relationships, through better nutrition and changes in behavior, and through self-improvement courses. A good article on Depression and its solutions can be found at http://www.scientologyhandbook.org.

AB-SO-LUTE-LY NOT!!

The key reason is that Scientology cleans up a person’s mental and deeply internal difficulties. Who commits suicide when their life is getting better and happier each day in class?

In 40 years in Scientology, being in and around many different Scientology churches and missionsin five countries, having many Scientologists as friends, family and business associates, and working for and with business owned by Scientologists – I personally DON’T KNOW OF ONE case of suicide by a Scientologist.

I can’t promise it has never happened because, logically, I don’t know all Scientologists who ever were.

But suicide is the last thing anyone would expect from someone who is bettering his/her life daily – AND getting the even deeper satisfaction of helping others better their lives! Is there anything that would make you happier?

If you want a high incidence of suicides, look to psychiatrists’ suicide rates, and to their patients. People who trusted psychiatry to make them well, and then found the pills were useless for them, or made them worse. THEY are the sad and pitiable beings who commit suicide. Check out www.cchr.org
