First my 'history' with regard to the question....
A couple of years ago I allowed some Jehovas Witnesses in to have a discussion. Anyway to cut a very long story short I had to ask them to leave in the end as they started saying I should be dead and am an abomination... Amongst other things (they got VERY vocal before they left).
I am a diabetic on insulin and apprently this offended them something chronic.
What I'd like to know is this...
Is this a standard reply/action that I should meet when meeting someone from this faith (which to be honest I've avoided doing since as it upset me quite a bit then and now) - and if it IS normal for that fait what do THEY do if someone of their faith needs insulin?
If this is not normal then fine it must just be the local members that are/were doing it. I'd just like to know what I did that upset them so much.
I'm NOT trying to start an argument over the religion - just find out some answers.
If you'd rather PM me with an answer then that's fine.
Cheers in advance.

I have probably mentioned this before in one of the "Religion" threads.
I have a relative who used to be a JW, she didn't believe in most forms of medication or blood transfusion etc, she criticised anyone who had received this sort of treatment and said they should stick to natural methods.
Until her daughter was seriously ill and needed treatment. (I think it was a blood transfusion) She then left the JW's because it suited her to change her views to save her daughters life, and to think of all tose hypocritical years when she was preaching her rubbish to others.
I find JW's, Mormons and all those other wierd sects are nothing more than a nuisance and timewasters when they knock my door. They will not take a subtle hint that you are not interested and I have resorted to being very rude on a few occassions to get rid of them. I honestly think they are brainwashed as they have no personal opinion of their own.
Note: I do not criticise people who believe in religion in general, it's just the wierd ones. We have a guy in work who is a JW and he is the most pig ignorant unhelpful person I have ever come across. Funny though he is always preaching about helping your neighbour and how we should assist deprived people in other countries!
