LCG Pastor Dies by Suicide

Banned by HWA has reported the tragic news that Karl Beyersdorfer has died by suicide. He graduated Ambassador College, Big Sandy in 1966. He was the minister for Joplin, Missouri for LCG. This is terrible news.

I wish to encourage everyone to educate ourselves about suicide. There is a possibility that there may be imitators. As Kevin Caruso said, Suicide is never the answer. Getting help is the answer.

Most suicides are caused by untreated depression. Depression can be treated. Help is available. Anyone thinking of suicide needs to get help immediately. Right now. There is hope.

If you need help then call the following phone numbers.

• 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255)

• 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433)

For anyone who wants to read more about the serious topic of suicide I would suggest the following:
