Seems to be getting more exposure and coverage than going door to door physically with printed invitations, faster and broader area. And  highlighting the website  jw.org..

Many can tune in virtually after seeing these broadcasts without leaving their homes than might have otherwise done. Jehovah can always turn any situation into an advantage to do His will..it really seems like a speeding up of the work..

And here we thought the Convention Invitation Campaign had been cancelled - little did we know the news media would do it for us

This video looks like it was made by the branch until the end where there was no copyright.  Do we know who made the video?  I want to share it with people, but sometimes they are concerned if it was not made by the branch.

[thenewworld]

I made the video.  I worked in Video Services at the branch some years back.  The video was a little project designed to showcase some encouraging information from public sources that some of you may not have heard about.  Here are the links to the original sources:

I'm wondering the same. As I've seen some of those reports on youtube.

There was one thing I did not like in it ... The statement that Jehovah is in full control - (He certainly is with his people and will be worldwide very shortly) But it showed a picture of him holding the earth - which is almost a similar picture we have with Satan holding the world - and our pamphlet about who controls the world is very clear in saying it's Satan in control not Jehovah - at this time. This could be confusing to people.  If it's from jw.org though then it could be conveying that the New World is here and Jehovah is about to step in.

Excellent job. I noticed the same thing Mandi did but other than that I really appreciate the video.

Yeah, that does seem to be a problem with that image/footage. 

 

The brother has skills but this is something to be careful about producing this independently from WHQ.-My opinion

 

 

[thenewworld]

That's a fair point, and something I will happily update.

Any of us at any time can compile news reports and share them. I don't see a problem with that.

If we listen to the words - the context remains that Jehovah is in control of his people - but that picture changes the context - if that could be removed awesome.

Please do, as I really like the video and the content.  Very encouraging...

Which clip has the information from Bro Hendriks?

That was from WSLS.com TV news.

I've updated the earth clip at the end with an image of heaven, hopefully the new one is more appropriate 😉

[Qapla]

same video link?

Excellent job!

We are glad you are here and look forward to your other projects 👍🏼

Just now, Qapla said:

Yes.

[Friends just call me Ross]

Very nicely done!

We certainly are blessed with some

very talented brothers and sisters.

Thanks for sharing, Brother Andrew/thenewworld, and welcome to

JWTalk.

 

[Old]

It is quite likely that more households saw the invitation to the 2020 convention than would have if we had been able to participate in the regular invitation campaign. 

[Imagine]

@thenewworld Brother Andrew, is that you doing the voice over? Excellent commentary. Sounds real good and professional.

Yes, that was my dulcet British tones, haha.  That's very kind of you to say 😉.   There's a lot better voices than me, I just wanted to create something quickly to share with you, to hopeully be encouraging!
