Watchtower Victims Memorial

The Watchtower Victims Memorial is dedicated to the memory of Jehovah's Witnesses and their minor children who died as a result of the Brooklyn-based Watchtower Bible and Tract Society's decrees banning blood transfusions, organ transplants, skin grafts, and vaccinations -- as well as other individuals whose deaths due to suicide, abandonment, etc., are attributable to the Watchtower Society in the view of surviving loved ones.

Dear David,

Yes, I was the person that submitted the info on Judy Cook Granvold's death,
and it was specifically for refusing a blood transfusion. She was the wife of
Ronald Granvold, my cousin, who is now remarried and almost lost his second
wife the same way. The whole family are still Witnesses. I think this
Watchtower Victim's Memorial is a great idea, a powerful testimony to the evils
of the Watchtower. I look forward to seeing her name on the list. She is the
one I refer to at the end of the article I wrote for Free Minds.

Thanks so much,
Marlene
