Gods kingdom is the real life, standing up for God' command--abstain from blood is a wise decision. Not one mortal on earth can prove--blood transfusions weren't included in that statement.
She applied this ultra important teaching from Jesus---Matt 6:33--therefore, keep on seeking first the kingdom and his( Jehovah) righteousness, and all these other things will be added.
So when she and her baby are granted life everlasting in Gods kingdom, the majority who are never even taught that important truth from Jesus will not even see it occur.

jw's believe accepting blood on this earth will prevent them from the paradise to come on earth....

Sadly, the thumpers will see this as a reinforcement of their ignorance.

IMO, if adults want to refuse medical treatment, that's their business but I disagree that they should be allowed to deny the same to underage children.

Pretty sure we've already arrested some pregnant women for doing things known to be harmful to their unborn babies. Seems a double-standard where we then allow them to refuse medical treatment because of some religious delusion.

You cant say its a delusion---Abstain from blood--is all it says--you or any other mortal cannot prove it doesn't include transfusions. One who knows little in comparison to Gods anointed teachers can however reason falsly on many matters.

Kind of wish we'd be entirely consistent here...
