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'.

The Watchtower, “Immovable for the Right Worship”

1. Juli 1945 · pp.198-201 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“(article not opened) — discovery sites attribute to pp. 200-201: “Among the barbarous and fierce, savage nations, such as the Scythians, Tartars, desert Arabs, Scandinavians, etc., who lived most on animal blood…””

Identified by the organisation itself (w87 3/1 p. 13 chart; jv p. 183) as the article that first set out that Christians must abstain from transfusions.

Hinweis zu Herkunft und Überprüfung for The Watchtower, Immovable for the Right Worship

Hinweis zur Vertrauensangabe. Title, date and significance verified via w87 3/1 p. 13 and jv p. 183 (both opened on WOL). The article text itself was NOT opened: not on WOL; no lawful English scan found on archive.org (the 'Watchtower 1945-1946' item there is a college newspaper; the French 1945 volume has no 'transfusion'). Quoted wording is discovery-only and must be treated as unverified.
