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.

yes it was me .....

anyone that had gone through anything as painful as this would never dream
of submitting a false statement of this sort but I guess in this world there
are many surprises...

>Also, could you please provide a little more information so that readers

>Was refusing blood involved?

I refused to allow myself ,or my son, to recieve blood I now know this
blood infection would have been removed by the process they intended... the
hospital was to petition the court in the morning to allow treatment against
my wishes but my son died before it could be accomplished.....but what was
meant for bad GOD in his wisdom and mercy has turned to good, if you have
any further questions please feel free to ask I am forgiven and I am free in
CHRIST JESUS sincerely, JoAnne Parker
