People Are Dying After Joining a 'Pro-Choice' Suicide Forum
Suicide Solution(not its name) is a self-described “pro-choice” community of people who feel suicidal or are having suicidal thoughts and ideation. From reading the posts on the website, Wilson found that hundreds of people were writing about ending their lives, the ways they might do it, and receiving well wishes and sympathy from other members. Junior had been a member of the site, one of around 500.
Suicide Solution differs from other well-known online suicide forums, like Take This Life, Suicide Forum, or Reddit’s Suicide Watch, in one immediately obvious way. The moderators aren’t as strict about limiting discussions about the methods one might use to end their life, though users often use abbreviations or code words. People post not only about how they’re feeling—despairing, hopeless, frustrated—but also about their plans, on which they get feedback and little pushback from others....

As I see it, Quiet Brother, what these sorts of folk need is a few Christian soldiers to attack the devil who is putting destruction of themselves into their minds, similar to the Gadarene lunatic. It was dealing with the demons that led that man to seek to follow Christ in his right mind. If you like, it is comparable to waiting until a junky has come down from his acid trip before preaching the gospel to him, otherwise it will just become a part of his psychedelic dream.
Just my opinion, bro. But it has biblical warrant.
I hear what you are saying, Brother Frank. It's not likely an easy field to harvest.
On the one hand, Jesus instructed His disciples to walk away from cities that rejected His Gospel.
But they still had to try. Someone said once, don't know if he was right, that Livingston who was an original missionary to Sub-Sahara Africa had no converts. Today, faith is Christ is apparently sweeping the continent. He planted a lot of seed, and it took a while, but there is the harvest. So it's not an easy answer nor an easy mission field. But KLOVE says that they reach desperate people, and if their nonsense is making an impact, what would the real Gospel from a caring heart do?
Last thought...everyone must stand at the judgment. You take away any excuse, as if they could muster one, by offering the Gospel. Their rejection is their own. Even the Sower dropped seed in non-harvestable places.

I don’t think so brother. It would be like an abortion facility saying that Christians can come in and counsel those seeking to murder their children. You and I discussed this before, that even most professing Christian chaplains cannot present the gospel of our Lord. I have had online debates with Muslims, catholics and atheists. I sort of intruded on them uninvited. None of them yielded at all in spite of making no legitimate argument against my position. I remember the Muslims arguing that the crusades were carried out by Christians and therefore Christianity was evil.
But, I did get to present the gospel, so who knows what happened later.
