When it comes to your health, you just have to make up your own mind no religion can do it for you. Infact religion is supposed to be there for support. I am facing a similar issue in my state, which is Idaho. The Mormon church seems to take political issues into their concern, when they really should not, being that there should be a separation of church and state. Maybe someday we make the church pay taxes, and then they can gripe to the state all they want. But until then I guess I will have to stay at odds with the politics of my church. You should listen to your doctor. Doctors are highly educated, and are more educated, they trump over any spiritual advisor you may have. In fact any one that comes between you and your doctor through the church or otherwise, you should really see an attorney about that, to make sure they know thier real role in your health concerns. Basically, if they are not a doctor, they should be quiet. Your church can't go against the grain of state law, cause the bible says you can't. "Obey the law of the land" and that goes for them double.
