Now there is a mix up here; accepting money to finance a medical bill isn’t prohibited as it is a personal decision. Except she refused to receive blood if it’s money to finance hospital bill I don’t think this story is right.
If she needed financial aid for her hospital bill contributions would have been made within the organization to finance that.

So I’m confused here and don’t think this story is right

Very Hypocritical, Terrible Lots! sad



These set of religious fanatics needs deliverance. I pretty wonder how they imbibe such indoctrination to their gullible members,
that makes them so strict to the core without a love for humanity or even a love for themselves in distress times...

Humanity for them, is restricted to their doctrinal order only.

When i was in school my roommate told me that her mum died during delivery because she rejected blood transfusion while she's bleeding and her pvc is low
She was saying it with joy ooo, so I asked her if she can do same and she said yes of course.
She claimed their doctrine is against them eating blood so I asked her if blood transfusion is same as eating blood. I asked her if their members are not medical doctors and don't they carry out surgeries on their patients but her response weak me abeg

Wrong news spread . And many don't care to verify facts. She's at liberty to either choose or reject such donation. Jehovah's witnesses do not hold such doctrine. Therefore, Its wrong to ascribe her death to jws doctrine.

I really sympathize with her family for this death. While the details and circumstances surrounding her illness and eventual death is is not clear, however, criticizing her believe and religion based on what the OP put out here is not fair. As much as I know, accepting gifts/donation from individuals and organisations is a personal decision and have nothing to do with JW"s teaching.

However, if truly she rejected a donation as this report alleged, was a condition attached to it? Is there even a proof of such alleged donation or was this brought in just to create sensation. Please let us learn to criticize wisely.

A chef who was a member of Jehovah's Witness has died allegedly after refusing financial aid from a Catholic Church, Reports.

From The Information Gathered By , Ogechukwu Ochiaga had been ill for a while and her story was shared online last year as people begged for donations to help sponsor her medical treatment.

One of those who shared her story is a Facebook user known as Bro Can Mbanefo and he begged people to donate any amount they have.

He returned to Facebook today, Jan 11, to reveal that Ogechukwu died yesterday.

While announcing her death, he called out Jehovah's Witness and blamed their doctrine for her death.

He claimed that a Catholic Church in Italy found out about her case and reached out to pay for her surgery. However she allegedly refused to take the money from the Catholic Church as her Church doctrine forbids it.

Mbanefo added that she said she was only willing to accept the money if it comes from a personal account, not from the church.

The money was then donated by the church to other sick people.

Friends have taken to Facebook to mourn Ogechukwu.

. This is a fabricated report aimed at maliging the good image of Jehovah's witnesses . Jehovah's s witnesses never tell their members to reject assistance from non members. A rich man was admitted at OAUTH.He was a Jehovah's witness.The family shared what they had with those on admission in the ward. During COVID-19 Jehovah witnesses in my Estate shared bags of rice with people and received gifts from people too .It is good to avoid colouring report in order to make it emotional and sentimental...May God comfort the family of the deceased!

The law against the eating of blood is of the Old Covenant and not the New Covenant. In the New Covenant, Jesus Christ made it known that it is not what you eat that defiles you....and this new law is over 2000 years old. undecided

So you can see how these people die happily in their ignorance, all because they chose to blindly submit their very souls to the lies of men instead of the Truth of God Himself, Jesus Christ. undecided

You can say that again. And he will be getting it abroad or in the best hospital. Members of churches should be careful and use their God-given wisdom. Check what your pastor tells you using the Bible and Wisdom. Don't swallow everything hook, line, and sinker.
The one that pains me most is allowing their innocent children to die all in the name of following religious man-made doctrines!

Have you ever heard a member of Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, Redeemed, Winners, etc declined an offer for financial help especially concerning a terminal illness just because the help is coming from a different denomination from his? Even Jesus accepted food and perfume from a Samaritan prostitute. He ate with tax collectors and a lot of folks who didn't share his message. Christianity never teaches hate and whoever hates to the point of not minding to die is not a Christian even if he or she labels himself or herself as one.

Only cults don't accept help or render help to people except they join their group.

All of your churches are built on the doctrines and traditions of men, lies which Jesus Christ warned His followers to avoid by all means, so they are much like the JW church except the JW church is operated much like a cult. undecided

Misinformation. Accepting financial help from any individual or organisation is personal responsibility. It is not part of JW doctrine.
We don't have the details and social media sensation may not provide accurate picture.

On point.

Many of them commenting are like nuclear reactors. They hear what they are made to hear and begin to act like a nuclear reactor.
