Jehovahs Witnesses - Are the JWs who die?

The last service i know of, just a few weeks ago, a 13 yr old boy who was refusing blood as he had been taught was said to be held in the highest regard by God, loved and cherished for his dedication to Jehovah Gods commandments on the sanctity of blood. Yes, he was a martyr giving an example for many to follow....fortunately the sane don't see it that way and we will live on....
