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.

One of our sisters daughter (also in the truth) died a couple of weeks
ago after giving birth to a set of twins. She started to hemorrage and
of course refused a blood transfusion. The sister's name is *******
******. If anyone has some encouraging words for her, I will gladly
pass them along to her. My e-mail address is ********@*****.com. That
was the second death within a month under the same circumstances in
the same congregation.

Yes. The forum (mail list) is called "The Virtual Gathering".
I am not sure what date it was posted, however.
