[Serious] How Do I Help My Friend?

[GrandizerII]

No one but you is talking about helping her see there is no jw god.  She came to that realization on her own.  The only thing that was asked was what resources there are for helping someone escape a situation so unhealthy and destructive that it’s causing her to self harm.

There are, indeed, people to notify, as OP has been informed.  Unfortunately, they may not be the same people that could help with the issue of homelessness.  Catch - 22 on that count, atrocious in the simple fact that the jw worldview doesn’t leave any alternative on the table.

Feel free to continue demanding that an abused party must be left in the hands of their abusers for fear of harming the abusive family unit through removing its abused member... but understand that this is all that you’ll be doing.

I'm not caught up on the thread at all, but I did catch this little statement. Situations don't cause self harm, people choose to. Situations or organizations may encourage self harm, or deprive necessary accommodations to prevent self harm, but they doesn't cause it. It is an individuals act choice to self harm, the onus is always on the actor. If this wasn't the case anyone in the same positions as the person or worse (like I said I'm not caught up, but I'm certain I could posit worse) would self harm. It's a poor coping mechanism and self destructive. It's not a chance for you to poke holes in an organization you are anti to, unless Jehovah's witnesses support/promote self-harm. Do they?

I don't think people who self harm normally choose to self harm, man.
