Why do JW's think blood transfusions are the same as eating blood? Where to begin? If you ate blood, it would get broken into iron and protein. A blood transfusion would put more blood in the circulatory system to save someone's life(life's in the blood, meaning you die if you lose too much). Maybe the 19th century JW's didn't know the difference between blood entering the digestive tract ans entering the circulatory system?

I am not even sure other than a few old testament quotes.

JWs are very literal when they want to be about the bible.
Acts 15:20
But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
It is talking about eating blood which some people used to do ceremonially as part of their idol worshiping.
But they take it as not taking in any blood by any means.
