2018 Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses - Public Service Announcement

[Jothob]

I don’t ever remember us ever using tv stations to advertise our conventions! (I may be wrong!) but this is interesting. On jw.org

Nice! 

[nanceebgd46]

That short film will reach a lot of people...if it is played by

TV stations...we'll wait and see...lets hope for the best.

[Omoyeme]

Yes, very nice!  Jehovah God is using his FDS to get the proclamation of the Kingdom out at the doors, on the streets, online, at businesses and schools -- and now through media for our day.

 

"Advertise! Advertise! Advertise the King and His Kingdom!" 

[On the huh]

Can't see it being broadcasted by UK TV channels unless the organization pays for it.

[Vinnie]

Wow that's ...extraordinary ... the strides and extent we are taking, and the work we are striving to accomplish,  to reach everyone, everywhere, even those too fearful to open their doors.

 

Thanks for sharing it, sister Josie.

You’re very welcome...

yes Jehovah is certainly leaving no stone unturned in the last few minutes left in this system. 

I hope lots of tv stations play it, who knows how many will respond because of it. 

We thank Jehovah for being such a kind & loving God- He cares for everyone & wants all to have a chance to be saved. :-)

Who knows! Maybe Jehovah will make sure it gets played- even if it’s just once....    :-)

They should get on YouTube with an official channel (without commentaries), we would get this video on Trending in no time

I think that's rather a fantastic idea.  A JW.org channel, all comments disabled (is there a way to make them non-downloadable, too?)... and post all the pertinent videos.  I think it would reach SO many!!!

We have that. It's JW Broadcasting...

It's not really the same, y'know..   I think it's better, of course -- but it's not got the traffic YouTube does.  Plus, YouTube is more easily searchable... 

[cricket246]

Imagine people's reactions now they really can't hide from JW's we're on their local tv

Well in regards to traffic I just gave a talk a few weeks ago "Who are the Real Followers of Christ" and did you know that JW.ORG is the most visited religious website out of over 77,000 religious websites worldwide AND it is the most translated website out of 1.8 BILLION websites worldwide and this from a relatively small religion compared to the mighty mainstream ones THAT can only come from Jehovah's holy spirit - in other words identifying  the True Religion according to Scriptures such as Acts 1:8 and many others. {statistics according to Similarweb and Alexa}.

"You will recieve POWER when the holy spirit arrives and you will be witnesses of me...to the MOST DISTANT PART OF THE EARTH" !!!

 

If anyone sees our announcement on any TV stations please let us know where when and what station it was please. Thanks. Bruce Q

I wonder when the actual invitation campaign starts?

[Vinnie]

I wouldn't want it on u- tube. Just think, you would have to wade through a lot of "Satan's stuff" at the same time more so than having control over our own website/online tv station.  

[GeordieGirl]

How fantastic. So, so close.  Such an exciting time to be living. 

 

I shall have to watch more TV now. 

[Hope]

I don't have network TV anymore so I'll never see it... except on my tablet.   

 

It's very cool!

I believe it starts 3 weeks before each convention.

I imagine the scenario would be: 

"We need to fill 36 seconds of time, but all the commercials are too long.... Hmmm. Hey, I've got this PSA."

It does sound like a nifty idea. However, it would be likely pretty dangerous. Most of our videos are already up there illegally anyways. But besides that, if you watch anything about Jehovah's Witnesses on Youtube, you typically get bombarded by apostate material in the sidebar or "recommended videos". Youtube algorithms know that people love that apostate stuff.

[I don't know how to edit my post so I'm commenting again haha.]

So if the slave decided to upload their videos to Youtube - a social media site - they would practically sending people straight to apostate material. (FDS uploads video "Come to the Convention!". Apostate video in side-bar "Don't go to Convention! Also here's some child abuse and freemasonry conspiracy theories about C.T. Russel") I think the Slave has anylized social media over the years and came to the conclusion that:

Quote

no member of the Governing Body maintains a personal Web page or a presence on any social media site.

There very next sentence says: "Directing people to JW.ORG helps spread the Good News"

That is the sole internet platform we use to spread the Good News. Why? We have no control over our message on other platforms. But we do at JW.org. No apostate material on that website

The video showed up in JW Library app under what's new on my Samsung phone,...I downloaded it but it won't play! The other videos play, though!
