How sad!
think of how that child will feel when the bloodissue will be a conscience matter knowing it's mother died of refusing 'for jehovah'.

Sad, beyond words.
This is so sad. This couple thought they were following God's commands, and put the man-made rule against blood transfusion ahead of the preservation of life.
The dad said "he's all alone on a strange terrain, being a single parent with two daughters". It was their abject submission to Watchtower doctrine that caused him to be in this new situation. It just didn't have to be this way. I especially feel for the daughters, who won't see their mother (well not in this life anyway).
Come on WT society -- you realize you have blood on your hands because of your harsh policy. Do you even care?
god this is awful. the poor girl (only 24 years old) and the poor family
all in the name of this religion...what a terrible shame
24 years old. Jesus.
Now, all she is, is a martyr for the Watchtower, and her little child won't have a mother. So very sad.

So sad. The blood stained hands of the WT grow even bloodier. If there is any organization on this earth that has earned the title of BLOODGUILTY, they are at the top of the list. This poor woman has martyrized herself for a CULT, plain and simple. Only a cult could brainwash their members to KILL themselves in the name of their God called Jehovah. Cult, plain and simple.
