A former member of Jehovah’s Witness has revealed the severe consequences members face if they accept blood transfusions.

The lady, identified on X (formerly Twitter) as @carrotxbt, shared that during her time in the faith, she carried a card stating that in the event of an accident requiring a blood transfusion, she should be left to die.

She explained that the psychological impact of the group only becomes apparent after leaving.

According to her, any member who accepts a blood transfusion is not only disfellowshipped from the organization but also cut off from family, friends, and the congregation.

She added that such individuals can become outcasts and, if living with their parents, may even be thrown out of the house.

@carrotxbt further stated that members who marry Christians from other denominations face the same consequences.

Recounting her personal experience, she said:

“I carried a card all my life that stated that in case I had an accident and needed a blood transfusion, I should be left to die. Only when you leave that organization will you realize the level of psychological damage that has been done to you. The person will be disfellowshipped… everyone you used to know will not communicate with you anymore… If you live with your parents prior to the incident, after you survive, you will be thrown out of the house and disowned. The same thing happens if you marry a Christian from another denomination. This religion ruined my family. I had to run away.”

Her revelation comes as the story of a current member, Aunty Esther, who refused a blood transfusion while battling cancer, sparked widespread discussion on social media.

Jehovah’s Witnesses are a Christian religious sect originating from the Adventist movement in the late 1800s in the United States.

Popular Nigerian personal shopper, Aunty Esther, who is well known on X, has made headlines after new reports claimed she allegedly refused a doctor-recommended blood transfusion following her cancer diagnosis.

Aunty Esther has been diagnosed with cancer recently and had earlier informed her followers that her test results were out, confirming cancer in her breast and armpit. She also thanked everyone who contributed financially to her treatment.

Many people on social media quickly rallied round to raise money for her treatment. The donation was anchored by Wisdom Obi-Dickson, a media personality known for charity activities, especially on X with the username @Wizarab10, who successfully helped raise over N 30,776,252 as of December 1st, 2025.

However, one of the coordinators handling donations, Sir Dickson, announced that he and another medical volunteer have stepped away from her case.

According to him, doctors advised that she needed a blood transfusion before starting chemotherapy, but she rejected it due to her Jehovah’s Witness faith.

He added that her church allegedly warned she would be disfellowshipped if she accepted blood, and some family members insisted that “whatever happens is God’s will.”

He said that while her beliefs must be respected, they can’t continue leading a fundraiser when the patient is refusing the ideal treatment that could save her life.

This sparked reactions across X, with many donors expressing frustration, fearing that their financial support may go to waste if she rejects medically necessary care.

A popular online doctor also weighed in, saying people have a right to be upset. He noted that in a life-threatening situation, refusing the recommended treatment could lead to severe consequences, and appealed to Aunty Esther, her family, and her religious elders to reconsider the decision.
