dilligaf1701, both the Jehaovas Witnesses and the Mormons (Err sorry, Church of the Latter Day Saints) have the "God's will" approach to healthcare. They reject anything modern, but particularly anything to save lives (blood transfusions/cancer treatment, etc). Rather than take themselves to hospital, they'd rather deal with it themselves, and let God decide his fate.

That was a bit strong what they said about you. If you didn't say anything about them, I think they said it because they think you should let nature/God take its cause and let you die.

This is the extreme view though. All the major religions embrace new technology and healthcare techniques. Even Islamic clerics in the middle have been known to use the Internet to help reach their congregation better.
