Position de l’organisation ou explication ultérieure : JW.org qualifie aujourd'hui de mythe l'affirmation selon laquelle des Témoins, enfants compris, meurent chaque année pour avoir refusé le sang, et ajoute que ‘no one can say for certain that a patient will die because of refusing blood or will live because of accepting it’.

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.
