I often get notified of media mentions of Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Watchtower Society via fellow ex-Jehovah’s Witness contacts on the web.

A Japanese women has died for lack of a blood transfusion after a Caesarean birth. The hospital said it had agreed with the woman before the surgery that it would not administer a transfusion.
