  The vast majority of deaths from the blood policy are undocumented because they are simply not newsworthy. If you know of a death or serious injury/disability related to the blood policy, please help us document it. Send as many details as you can recall. We will post the story on our website at AJWRB via the "Blood map".

  If possible include, names, dates, cause of death, disease/injury, age, city/state/country, congregation, photos and any other relevant information you have. Help us show the real cost of this policy and force the WTS hand to get rid of it. There is a contact page at the bottom of the map.

  Unfortunately, I made the terrible mistake of not documenting the sources... they were in newspaper archives from my university.

  i know Rachel Underhill. She started the group Ex Jw Reunited ( down at the moment )--it was through joining that group i discovered this world of ex jw apostates. i was at her 40th birthday bash earlier this year.

  i know of one UK man that died through refusing a BT--he was in Kent. i know one of his relatives--so i'm not free to say his name.

  only this week i read--on this site--a figure of 50,000 have died through refusing blood. ive queried that now--and before. one death is one too many----50,000 is just beyond belief.

  I know of a single dad in his thirties. Left behind a ten year old son in Michigan because he was diagnosed with a blood cancer and the only treatment was blood transfusions. He died within months of being diagnosed. His son misses him terribly. Such a tragic loss and so unnecessary.

  My son almost died in 2012 had it not been for the courts. Leukemia diagnosis he was 5 at the time. Now 8 and doing well.

  A dear friend died in November/December of 2013 of leukemia when my wife and I were just starting to wake up. Theresa Mirabel Rowland Heights, CA. She was in her late 50s.

  My wife even found a special treatment center that felt good about her treatment plan. She needed a blood transfusion first in order to be strong enough to travel. She died within a month of being diagnosed and left behind a 17 year old son who was scheduled for heart surgery this year.
