When Bryan Egnew came out, his wife left him and took his five kids. And then…
Within two weeks, Bryan was excommunicated from the LDS Church. From the perspective of Mormon doctrine, his excommunication severed Bryan’s relationship to his children not only in this life, but also in the hereafter.
Alone in his home in North Carolina, Bryan was devastated. His parents flew out to be with him, then brought him back to Arizona for intensive treatment for depression.
After a few weeks of therapy, Bryan convinced his parents and his therapist that he was stable enough to return home to North Carolina, so he could look after the family home. Back in North Carolina, on Saturday, September 10, Bryan bought a gun at Wal-Mart. He fed the family’s animals, cleaned the house, handed the keys to a neighbor, sent a message to a family member that they needed to come to the house, and then went on the front lawn and shot himself.
That’s so weird, going to Wal Mart for a gun is always a step in my suicide fantasies, too!
@GettingClose- Stay classy…
As to the article…tragic and unfortunately it is very difficult to overcome and correct so much oppressive brainwashing from a cult.
We should just have a federal BAN on this dangerous cult (Mormon church) the way Germany does!
