| "I know of no statistical evidence to support Mr Dvorkin’s argument
that ‘many’ members or ex-members of the Watch Tower movement have committed
suicide. Indeed, some psychological and psychiatric studies of suicide
have reached the conclusion that membership of an enthusiastic religious
movement actuallyreduces the likelihood of suicide. There are very few
reliable studies of people who leave the Watch Tower movement; and none
of these studies suggests that such people are disproportionately likely
to commit suicide"

TRADUC: Je ne connais aucune
statistique démontrant [...] que 'Beaucoup' de membres ou ex-membres
de la Watchtower se soient suicidés.
Au contraire, des études psychologiques et psychiatriques ont démontré que l'appartenance à une religion enthousiaste réduit les risques de suicide. Il y un très peu d'études fiables concernant des ex-membres de la Watch Tower; et aucune de ces études ne suggère que ces personnes sont plus que les autres enclins au suicide. |
