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, entitled Why
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.”
