I went to the Australasia Branch for a visit last week. We did the tour of the 'front' half. Then we had lunch and did a walk around the 'backlot'.
I went to see the 'studio' where the big monster screen is. It is impressive. The Society currently has 3 of these screens. It was impressive. It has more of a curve on it than I imagined. And it's 6 meters tall.
We were able to view these areas, as there was no filming being done at the Branch. They are 'on location ' shooting the 'Sermon on the Mount.'
I am looking forward to seeing episode 1 this month!

Thank you very much, brother Tony, for the photos and the news.

 

It's so good to follow the progress of these faith-strengthening recordings!

 

What a privilege to be able to visit and see the studio city up close.

Will the 18 episodes be available only at regional conventions or only in 2024 and 2025? Everything is very beautiful and exciting, a true blessing

I hope it's eventually not released at the conventions. I can't imagine all of them being relevant to the convention theme.

I had the same thought

However, if they were to become part of the New World teaching programme, learning how to use them might well be an ongoing feature, now, using any further episodes available.

[Michał]

2025 - episodes 2 & 3 - topic: Messiah
2026 - episodes 4-6 (including sermon on the mount) - topic: Wisdom from the scriptures

I guess there are a lot of possibilities for themes.

Wouldn't it be interesting to start off with a drama all THREE days of the convention - so we get 4, 5 & 6?

Jesus' entire ministry and life-course was designed to show us the way to follow the Christ and work in harmony with Jehovah's purpose.  There can be no doubt that we will benefit greatly by reviewing all of the aspects of Jesus' teaching and life.

I’m positive that each day will start with one episode and the whole day we will hear all about it

segment by segment and all these talks in this and future conventions may be used to teach us to teach others on the other side 

Its becoming obvious that many may survive Armagedom with little knowledge and will have a chance to learn and serve Jehovah forever 

Along with the ressurected ones

It was exciting for many to see the first episode. I think especially the beginning was impressive. The actors seem to have internalized their roles. We are left waiting for more of Jesus. I wondered if the film was a little too technical, maybe "too" similar to the gospels. After all, we don't hear people speaking as they do in the gospels, and while no biblical text reveals every single word, it wouldn't be an excuse for changing lines. At least I don't mind, since in the end, this is good news according to Jesus, not according to Hollywood's regrettably usually all-knowing, haughty directors and writers who emphasize entertainment and drama and exciment more than didactic elements.

What do y'all think of the "minutes old" baby Jesus, as Joseph handed the child to Mary?

 

The baby looked pretty dern good for being a half-hour old, no?   Didn't look like a prune!

 

But, it was a perfect human!!!!

Cutest baby. My little girl said “oh sooooo cute” when she saw him. I’m glad we didn’t see wrinkly, slimy, anatomically correct newborn, they are not nice to look at haha. 😛 only to the parents

They would need a real baby right out of his mommy... I don't think any sister would allow that
