The Watchtower, “Questions From Readers”

1 de julio de 1951 · pp.414-416 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“Hence the attendant administering the transfusion is feeding the patient blood through the veins, and the patient receiving it is eating it through his veins.”

Answering 'Many say receiving a transfusion is not like eating blood. Is this view sound?'. p. 416 adds: 'Jehovah's witnesses do not oppose the people's use of transfusions, but allow each one the right to decide for himself what he can conscientiously do.' No congregational sanction is mentioned.

Jehovah's Witnesses—Proclaimers of God's Kingdom (book), “Recognized by Our Conduct”

1993 · p.183 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“When transfusions of blood became an issue confronting them, The Watchtower of July 1, 1945, explained at length the Christian view regarding the sanctity of blood.”

Also: 'Earlier discussions of the sanctity of blood appeared in The Watch Tower of December 15, 1927, as well as The Watchtower of December 1, 1944, which specifically mentioned blood transfusions.' And: 'beginning in 1961 any who ignored the divine requirement, accepted blood transfusions, and manifested an unrepentant attitude were disfellowshipped'.
