Jehova anger

I am so angry this morning. I have just watched the news and saw that a woman who gave birth to twins has died as she refused a blood transfusion due to the beliefs of the Jehova church.

When asked if it was a kind of suicide, a spokeman for this church said that it was not suicide and equated it with a cancer patient refusing chemo.
This really angered me as it is a completely different illness. She would have had life, a life with her 2 children but she seems to have put her religion first. It has to be said It cannot even be compared to cancer and chemotherapy as some cancer patients don’t even know if they will have a life after treatment. If it would have taken a blood transfusion to change a diagnosis, cancer patients would be lining up for it.
I do feel sad as she has left behind 2 children who will grow up motherless. She had a choice and she chose scriptures in a book.
I refused treatment because it would not have helped me and I feel I made the right decision as I have had extra time I didn’t think I would have.
I recieved a letter from the Jehova church when my story hit the media early this year and they said they could cure me if I repented for all my sins as sinning is why I got my illness. I didn’t respond to this idiotic letter and carried on with my life as I have never agreed with the Jehova way.
I wouldn’t disrespect anyone for the path they take in life.
I have many good friends who are religious and who respect my views and I respect theirs.
If someone wants to be a Jehova witness that is their choice but it has no comparison with cancer and that treatment.
