Witnesses Campaign to Advertise World’s Most Translated Website, JW.ORG
NEW YORK—On August 1, 2014, Jehovah’s Witnesses will begin a month-long global distribution of a new tract entitled Where Can We Find Answers to Life’s Big Questions? to
raise awareness of their official website, jw.org. Accessible in about
500 languages, with publications available for download in almost 700
languages, jw.org is the world’s most translated website.
Over one million unique visitors go to jw.org each day. The
site features articles and videos offering practical advice to people
of all ages, backgrounds, and circumstances. One of these videos,
entitledWhy Study the Bible?,
will be linked to a QR code found on the new tract. This video merges
live-action elements and animation to illustrate the practical benefits
of studying the Bible. It is currently available in over 450 languages
and has been downloaded nearly 4 million times since it was released on
November 18, 2013.
J. R. Brown,
a spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses at their world headquarters in
Brooklyn, New York, explains: “We are excited about this campaign. There
are some eight million of Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world, and all
of us will be speaking to our neighbors about this website. This may be
the most extensive campaign that we have ever organized.”
Geoffrey
Jackson, a member of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses, states:
“Since its launch two years ago, people all over the world have found
jw.org to be an invaluable resource. On this site, you can watch videos that can help your children, consult articles that can help your family, and even read the Bible online. We want as many as possible to benefit from jw.org, and that’s why we initiated this special campaign.”
