I heard the rumor about aids but not about the JWs telling him God will heal him. I studied with JWs when I was young as well as other religions to enlighten myself and see if there is any core beliefs that came along with it. I do not remember ever claiming they don’t need modern medicine like the Christian Scientists. They don’t take blood transfusions it all I remember. The group is basically a good and trustworthy group. You can hand your baby to a fellow JW and vise versa without worry for instance. There reason is Jesus said don’t drink blood so they argue if we’re not to drink blood they shouldn’t take in in their veins either. Plus there are many blood born illness that you can get. That was way before AIDS and Hep C became promminent. I did not agree with that philosophy if someone’s life depended on it. He became a JW I think around 2001 If he already had HIV it seems along time to live without taking drugs. He is in that target age group where HIV was running rampant though. I’m just hearing now they suspect a prescribed drug OD but not suicide. Just speculation and talk right now.
