The Watchtower's three main biblical proof texts for the blood ban are Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 17:13-14, and Acts 15:29.

Blood Transfusions: Facts, Fictions and Fractions - Refuting The Watchtower 00:28:45 – 00:29:45

Mike transitions from historical/medical arguments to direct biblical exegesis of the passages the Watchtower uses.

The Watchtower cites three passages on jw.org to support the blood transfusion ban: (1) Genesis 9:4 — post-flood dietary command not to eat flesh with blood in it; (2) Leviticus 17:13-14 — command to pour out and cover animal blood when hunting; (3) Acts 15:29 — apostolic letter telling Gentile believers to abstain from blood, things strangled, idols, and sexual immorality.
