Jehovah's Witnesses are made up of a two class system: "The Anointed" and "The Great Crowd of Other Sheep", the anointed are made up of 144,000 that will rule with Christ, and the Great Crowd of Other Sheep are everyone else that Jehovah and Jesus deem worthy at the time of Judgement (i.e. those who have associated themselves with God's Organisation, his sole channel of communication; the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.).

They believe that receiving blood transfusions are the same as drinking blood, which is stickily forbidden in the old testament law and repeated in the new testament book of Acts where Gentile believers were to "they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication."

My father has type 1 diabetes, and he is a Jehovah's Witness. The prohibition on blood for JW's stems from the Bible's command at Acts 15:28,29 and other passages in the Bible.
