It just reminds me how ugly this religion can be.

She died about seven hours after the accident at 11 p.m. from loss of blood after the surgery. She was a Jehovah's Witness, many of whom will not take blood transfusions. It's unclear if that were the case here.
That transfusion policy is just sickening. I used to be so scared that if something happened to me and I refused blood and died as a result, I would never see my kids again because there dad wasn't a jw and I knew he wouldn't raise them to be jw's.

Bastards! that is the Governing Body. Now the baby is without a mom. You can bet blood was the factor.

I am so sorry for them.
Hope of paradise or not, death is awful.

A state police investigator who saw Lina Borshchov talking to rescuers as they freed her from the crash said he was shocked the mother and her newborn child died in the hospital.
"She was talking at the scene, she was conscious and alert," Michael Davis said.
"The fire department had already cut off the top of her car and she was being taken out of the vehicle, speaking to the EMS people and moving her arms. It was really a shock how it turned out."
Sad but rather telling.

The only good that could ever come from that is that it was in the paper for all to read. It may also wake up a JW or two. It is easy to profess the blood issue but it is far more difficult to live with the tragic results. Thier entire congregation is in for one hell of a reality check.

I couldn't believe it when I read it. I bet they'll be praying in all the local congregations too and saying what a wonderful example of faith. Yuck! It is so sad and now that poor child is without a mother.
