La doctrine sur le sang · Claim record

L'affirmation largement reprise selon laquelle la couverture montrerait vingt-six enfants morts après avoir refusé le sang ne peut être établie : le chiffre n'apparaît nulle part dans le numéro, le seul site ouvert pour cette fiche n'en donne aucune source, la seule image de couverture figurant sur l'un de ces sites est un dérivé recadré et non un scan, et les portraits d'arrière-plan du seul scan localisé ne peuvent pas être comptés de façon fiable, parce qu'ils se chevauchent et sont en partie masqués.

AvoidJW.org, “Jehovah’s Witnesses Change Blood Doctrine — What About the Losses?”

20 mars 2026

“photos of 26 children”

A representative statement of the widely repeated claim that the cover pictures twenty-six children who all died refusing blood. The page gives no source for the figure and none for the assertion that those pictured died.

Note de provenance et de vérification

Note sur la fiabilité. The page and its banner image were opened on 19 September 2026, and again independently by the auditor; the page carries the line ‘Published: March 20th, 2026’ and the phrase quoted above appears on it verbatim. The figure of twenty-six appears nowhere in the magazine, is not sourced on this page, and could not be confirmed from the only cover scan located; the image on the page is a derivative graphic and is not evidence of a count.

Provenance de la numérisation. Banner image hosted by AvoidJW.org. On inspection it is not a scan of the cover but a cropped, re-tinted derivative showing only the three foreground figures and a fragment of the background, with the masthead, the date line and the title panel removed. The copy consulted is hosted by a third party and its lawfulness is not established, so no link to it is published here.

Notes. Recorded so that the site can explain, and decline to repeat, the claim — not as evidence for it.

JWfacts.com, “Scan of the cover of Awake!, 22 May 1994, on the page ‘Blood Transfusions’”

19 septembre 2026 · pp.front cover

“YOUTHS WHO PUT GOD FIRST”

The cover carries the Awake! masthead with the date line ‘May 22, 1994’ and, in a bordered blue panel across the lower third, the title ‘Youths Who Put God First’ in yellow capitals. In front of a wall of small portrait photographs of young people, overlapping and printed in a pale washed-out tint, stand three young people photographed in full colour: a girl on the left, a boy in the centre and a girl on the right, all smiling at the camera. The background photographs are partly hidden by the masthead at the top and by the three foreground figures at the bottom, and some are cut off by the edge of the page.

No online copy located.

Note de provenance et de vérification

Note sur la fiabilité. The image was downloaded and viewed on 19 September 2026 and enlarged for examination; the description is of what can be seen in that scan. It is a low-resolution third-party scan with no stated provenance, so it is not treated as a verified reproduction of the printed cover. No reliable count of the background photographs can be made from it: the rows overlap, are obscured and are cropped at the page edge. At least twenty background portraits are at least partly visible.

Provenance de la numérisation. Hosted by JWfacts.com, an ex-member research site, on its page https://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/blood-transfusions.php. The site states no provenance for the scan. The cover is © 1994 Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.; the file is a 253 × 325 pixel GIF. The copy consulted is hosted by a third party and its lawfulness is not established, so no link to it is published here.

Notes. Recorded for location and description only. The site should describe the cover in words and, if it points anywhere at all, link rather than rehost.

Awake!, “Youths Who Put God First (contents page)”

22 mai 1994 · p.2 · Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.

“In former times thousands of youths died for putting God first. They are still doing it, only today the drama is played out in hospitals and courtrooms, with blood transfusions the issue.”

The contents page introduces the series ‘Youths Who Put God First’ on pages 3–15. It does not name or count the young people pictured on the cover.

Notes. The cover (a montage of photographs of young people beneath the title) is not reproduced on the Online Library; a low-resolution scan hosted by a discovery site was viewed but the number of people pictured could not be reliably counted from it.
