I spoke to my father this afternoon and received some bad news.
The daughter of a woman who was one of my childhood friends at the KH died today from leukemia. She was 16 years old.
She went into remission about 3 years ago but that didn't last long. When she started getting sick again, the doctors tried to get a court order for blood transfusions. She told the judge that she would not accept the transfusions. The judge abided by her wishes.
For the life of me, I do not understand how anybody could sacrifice their own child for an organization. I am torn between sorrow and hatred for this family that I loved so much while growing up.
I am sure that they are convinced that Aubrey is a martyr and will receive a resurrection and that they will be reunited in Jehovah's new order. I hope that that happens. I truly do.
