Actually it is an easy choice. Live and go to hell or die and go to heaven. I see more admiration in people who break their blind dogma in the face of their community telling them to die. One door to door JW told me honestly that not sharing blood transfusion is a racist thing as the blood of any race could be transfused. There are hundreds of things in the bible that the JW don't do.

"We do not believe that every passage in the Bible is to be interpreted literally. "

Yes, way back when, needles were probably unsanitary and going without blood transfusions may have been wise, but today having not questioned that will only decrease their numbers than they already have.
