Shannon, where can we discuss this futher, if we may?
Does it have to do with religion?
"what we are almost certainly dealing with is very early, very deep fear-based programming that tells him something terrible is going to happen if he complies with these suggestions. I would put money on it being some variant of being told he was going to be punished horribly if he did things like that, and there's very few sources for such threats to come from. But the way his resistance has manifested itself tells me that is the most likely scenario. If he really does subconsciously feel like suicide is preferable to doing what SM 2.0 is telling him to do, then it's a threat that was made to him at some early age which would cause him to fear whatever it is even more than death itself. I can think of exactly one thing that I have seen cause reactions like that, but Rule #4 prevents me from discussing that further."
Also, some more good stuff for this thread:

All fear is illusion.
