What is the World's Most Translated Website?

JULY 7, 2015
What is the World's Most Translated Website? | TOMEDES Translations

Have you ever wondered which website is the most translated in the world? Perhaps the web domains of a wealthy company such as Apple? A ubiquitous search engine like Google? Or how about widely-read information sources such as Wikipedia? Whilst these are all good guesses, they are not the most translated website in the world. In fact, they're not even close! Read on and the result may surprise you...

The most translated website in the world

Believe it or not, the official website for the Jehovah's Witnesses is actually the most translated website in the world. At present, the website has been translated into a staggering 731 different languages, and there are even dedicated translations for people who use different languages' variations of sign language, making it accessible for deaf people too. To put that into perspective, Apple's website is translated into 126 different languages, Google's search page is available in 149 languages, and Wikipedia has content available to read in 290 different languages. By comparison, the Jehovah's Witnesses home page dwarfs all three of these websites' localizations combined! Additionally, the Jehovah's Witnesses' physical publications are translated into even more languages and distributed globally -- a staggering feat of coordinated translation. 

It's strange to think that the website of this relatively small religious group has such a wide-reaching localization, but after doing some research into this group's belief system, the breadth and depth of their translation efforts do indeed make sense if you understand their worldview.

Why is The Jehovah's Witnesses' website the most translated website in the world?

The Jehovah's Witnesses subscribe to a belief system that is comparable to, yet distinctly different from, mainstream Christianity. One of the key pillars of the Jehovah's Witness belief system is that all its adherents must be able to read the Watchtower's (The Jehovah's Witnesses global HQ, based in the U.S.) publications in addition to the Jehovah's Witnesses' special translation of the Bible. In order for people to participate in the religion, they have to be able to read the Watchtower's publications, and translating their publications into believers' own language is necessary for them to belong to the religion.

Depending on your perspective, you may view this initiative as either an example of mass proselytizing via the use of carefully worded propaganda, or a commendable facilitation of a religion's belief system that makes extensive efforts to include all believers, no matter their native tongue or background. But regardless of your perspective on the matter, the work that goes into producing a consistent translation on this sort of scale is indeed mind-boggling!

Final thoughts

Did the fact that the Jehovah's Witnesses website is the most translated in the entire world surprise you? If so, what did you think the most translated website was? And does the fact the this particular website holds the title of most translated in the world seem more reasonable once you understand the importance they place on reading their publications? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

June 2018 Update – Has JW.org been knocked off the ‘most translated website’ top spot?

We wanted to provide a quick update on the world’s most translated website, based on new information about the number of languages available. The Jehovah’s Witnesses continue to progress their aim to reach “every nation and tribe and tongue and people” by making their literature available in as many languages as possible – even languages with just a few thousand native speakers. 

Literature from the Jehovah’s Witnesses can now be read in more than 750 languages. Content can also be viewed in nearly 70 sign languages, ensuring that the JW.org website is incredibly accessible to those with little or no hearing. The Bible itself is available in around 50 languages, while Bible-based content is available in over 500 languages.

  • Regardless of their beliefs, the scope of their translation work is staggering. Especially since they translate into so many sign languages, which is one of the most overlooked areas in translation. Commendable indeed.

  • I have worked as a medical and pharmaceutical freelance translator for 18 years ... and I happen to be a Jehovah's Wittness (lol, I promise not to preach here). In Denmark, when you are fifteen, you are invited to work somewhere for 2 weeks to get a little feel for what you would like to do in the future. I worked for 2 weeks at Jehovah's Witnesses branch office in Denmark and got my first taste of translation work. I remember that day clearly. Started working at 8 AM and when I was told "Hey, it's lunch time!" I couldn't believe my own ears. Time just flew. I don't translate for Jehovah's Witnesses, but I am still very impressed with the scope, quality, and consistency of their work. And I still love translating!

  • JWs have 3 reasons why they need to reach all sorts of people with different backgrounds, language, and status. 1. Love for Jehovah God. 2. Love for all sorts of people. 3. As a WITNESS to all the nations. Matthew 24:!4 Though some peoples lack interest, we will keep on preaching the good news of God's Kingdom, to keep on searching for people from all the nation who are fed up from the wickedness happening in this world. If you would read our Matthew 24:!4 our purpose is not proselytizing but to give WITNESS to all the nation, before the end of this wicked system comes.

  • Nice article! Though I would like point out that for decades many of Jehovah's Witnesses did not have access to WT publications or at least on a regular basis. Yet, those ones were united with the organization and their fellow believers. It is not a "necessity" to have access to the publications. Because our main text book is the Bible. The publishing in so many languages is really two fold in purpose: To help us all to be united in the faith and to fulfill Christ's commission stated at Matt 28:19, 20 and Matt 24:14. We worship a God who is not partial to any nation, but accepts all who want to serve Him. So our publishing in so many languages reflects this viewpoint of our God. Thank you again for your article!

  • I think it's amazing! In addition to the reasons already given for translation into so many languages, it's also because of Christlike love. We want people to read and understand the Bible in their native tongue, the "language of the heart".

  • JW's efforts are to support the spreading of the Gospel (Good News) of the Kingdom, which is believed to rule over mankind in a near but indefinite future: "And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all inhabited Earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." (Matthew 24: 14, Jesus's prophecy) They also believe that in due time God "will change the language of the peoples to a pure language so that all of them may call on the name of Jehovah to serve Him shoulder to shoulder" (Zephaniah 3: 9), that is, the great barrier of languages that shun people from one another must be reduced to nil in order to learn how to please the Lord in togetherness.

  • Thank you for this article. One small correction though. This is not a work of prostelizing and no one is required to read our literature. We are following the command to preach Gods kingdom as mankind's only hope. We conduct millions of Bible studies free of charge and use many translations of the Bible, however the New World Translation is acknowledged to be the most accurate. Being able to study the Bible in ones native tongue reaches the heart. Jehovah is an impartial God and he said he'd speed up his preaching work in the last days and that is what he is doing. Btw, the website has wonderful videos for children and good advice for youths. Www.jw.org

We serve a loving and caring father whose only desire is that people of all nations irrespective of their language and background should come to know Him and also give people hope that soon all these woes we experience on earth today shall soon pass away. If that is not a sign of His great love for us, I don't know what is.

  • Even more astounding about this feat is the fact that the entire process runs on volunteer work. No one gets a salary or gets paid in the entire organization. Guess you could say "non-prophet!" Supreme organization takes a Supreme organizer, especially in the face of so much opposition incurred over the past century.

  • I am not surprised at all. The publication of the Watchtower and Awake magazine are not strictly religious content. The Watchtower is more so inclined to speak of the bible and teachings. However the Awake magazine is very informative and has articles regarding all facets of life,current events, history, and medical facts and is very informative. Everything is published and work is done by volunteers receiving no salary for their work. The publications are free and donations are accepted but not expected. The efficiency in the way the organization is run is astounding. They do amazing work.

  • No one is ever damaged by learning Bible principles. We are admonished to teach our children from infancy. .. (Timothy ) Mr. Jackson became damaged because he refused to live by the standards set forth in the Bible. It isn't manditory to read the Watchtower and Awake magazines in order to be accepted. Our main source of study is the bible itself. The magazines are an additional source of education that compliments the knowledge we receive. There are inspirational stories, facts about nature, and a wealth of information about the wonderful world we live in....all based on the accurate bible principles.

  • The scope of the translation work should convince anyone that JW's are blessed by Jehovah God in the work they are doing to reach everyone possible according to Jesus words: You will be Witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and the most distant part of the earth." While not perfect they are united in a worldwide brotherhood., preaching the good news of Gods Kingdom, the only solution to men's problems.

  • Wesley said   
  • This is an interesting article, though I must point out that the claim that Jehovah's Witnesses "MUST" read Watchtower materials is not a fact. The articles are just bible study aids, and the Bible is the only material that any Christian "MUST" read. And while it is true that the Witnesses have a very special translation of the bible, the only real difference between it and other existing versions is that the Divine Name of Jehovah has been restored to it where possible, and some confusing passages have been translated to reflect the original meaning more clearly than is done in other available bibles, most of which were translated by religious authorities that believe in traditions originating in Catholicism that are extra-biblical.

  • The most important thing about our publications being translated is the fact that ALL people should come to know that the one whose name is Jehovah ,is the most high in the ALL the Universe.Just as the model prayer set out for us by Jesus Christ , the first priority for true Christians is that Gods name , Jehovah,must be made known.This is also the reason why we are called Jehovahs Witnesses, and are proud to be bearers of this name.

  • The reporting on the stats regarding the translation work is great and much appreciated. The reporting on the purpose and motivation for our translation work has a lot to be desired. Yes the translation work is designed in part so that all of Jehovah's Witnesses have access to our publications in our own language. However the main reason why thousands of volunteers, and No doubt millions of dollars in voluntary contributions are invested in this translation effort is for the benefit of non JW's. It is our desire to answer peoples questions about God, his purpose for the earth, why he allows human suffering, and how each one of us can be reconciled with God! All from the Bible, and in our native language. Thank you TOMEDES for at least bringing to light this important translation work

  • Nice article except your conclusion about this: "all its adherents must be able to read the Watchtower's". Their publications are merely supplemental to the Bible. A more accurate statement would be to say that "anyone should be able to read the Bible". A second point would be the idea that they have a 'special translation' of the Bible. I'm not sure what you meant to infer but The New World Translation is widely accepted to be a very accurate translation in many respects. The organization does reference and use of a multitude of Bible translations as well.

  • In this wicked world, many loyal people to Jehovah God succumb to imperfection and sin. Thus, in the case of Mr. Michael Jackson, we have learned through interviews with his dedicated mother that the children were raised under harsh conditions, mostly at the hands of their father. At the time of his abusiveness, he was NOT following the loving example of our savior, Jesus Christ, or of our loving Father, Jehovah God.Therefore, he was acting in sin and thus created a deep seated pain in the minds and hearts of his own family, whom he was in charge of protecting and guiding, according to Jehovah's arrangement. If anyone has ever experienced abuse in the form of mental, physical, or sexual, especially at the hands of someone in charge of your well being as a defenseless child, the effects over years really takes its toll. Who of us are worthy to judge each other, especially since we are also all sinners (none of us perfect)? Families suffering such abuse usually date back generations, as perhaps Mr. Joe Jackson faced abuse in his own childhood and thus knew no other way of raising his children. Jehovah can see our true heart condition, is very much empathetic to our sufferings, and takes all of this into consideration. This does not mean Mr. Michael Jackson has been forgotten by Jehovah. Also, Jehovah is always there for ALL of us and he never leaves us, we are the ones who deny his love by not showing utmost faith and obedience to Him!!! As one of Jehovah's Witnesses who was in a very similar upbringing in the Truth, I came to the realization long ago that my parents were NOT acting in accordance to bible scriptures of loving others as yourself when they unleashed their abuse upon me and my siblings. Jehovah, however, remained with me as I found my way back to Him on my own accord as an adult and even showed his love and direction to me as a young child. Many instances, I felt his love and gently guidance, as I dealt with the effects mentally and physically. Jehovah will NOT remove persecution from us, yet he will provide a means to ENDURE if we rely upon Him entirely. Do not give up on yourself, family members, or others that show interest in Jehovah, dear brothers and sisters! Also, for those who are curious about the bible and what wonderful blessings Jehovah has in store for we humans in the future and how he will bring this wicked system to an end without lasting pain in our hearts and minds, I encourage you to contact a local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses and ask for someone to answer any sincere questions you may have. There are more than 8 million faithful witnesses worldwide eager to help you learn from your copy of the bible, if you are interested.

  • I just want to point out that this writer got something wrong. JW's do not believe that access to the Watchtower is necessary and neither is access to the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. Access to the Bible is necessary in order to read and believe what's in it but this article makes it sound like to be a JW it requires you have these 2 things and that simply is not true.

What other organization would go through so much effort to help their neighbor to draw close to their Creator and come to an accurate knowledge of his word? While many others are consistently in a disagreement and fail to provide what is needed spiritually to its citizens or members, Jehovah's organization unifies all. Jehovah God should be given all credit for this amazing feat as he is not partial to any race... We encourage all who can to examine God's Word and build your personal relationship with him .

  • This, the Bible, Jehovah God's heavenly Kingdom, his son, Jesus Christ, myriads upon myriads of angels in the heavens, my/our while association of spiritual minded brothers and sisters; from pediatric to geriatric, taught in weekly schools...this is my/our spiritual heritage. This brings a smile to heart, knowing we are, unitedly, working in many aspects to get this cherished, heavenly kingdom work accomplished. All, with Jehovah God's guidance through his appointed means. As Galatians 6:9,10 commands, as Jehovah's people, we look to "...work what is good toward all...". All assignments are covered by ones motivated not just by obedience, they are fulfilled from the heart to reach other earnest-hearted ones, hungering for truth. Everybody needs to know, What Does the Bible Really Teach. Yes. Too, through logic reasoning: Seeing Jehovah help safeguard me in many ways, fulfillment of biblical prophecies of old, to the word; seeing strongly entrenched things in opposition to God's view altered... Certainly, then, Jehovah God's word deserves to the import that Jesus himself placed on it... (Psalm 40:8, 143:10, Matthew 7:21, John 3:16-18 ) The work He assigned to his people, has such urgency as well as potency. It cannot be contained to just ourselves. Such relief aide, must be shared to bring refreshing relief to any one with that desiring ear to hear/to receive help to Draw Closer to Jehovah. With WWW.JW.ORG, individuals, can take their time to do their own research to study to educate self. Plus, one follows the noble minded ones of the Boreans spoken of in the book of Acts, Acts 17:10,11. Hearsay, was not what contended them. ***Pray for God's understanding, Study, Research, Meditate on what is covered. Revelation 3:12, 13. Keep on Seeking, First, God's Kingdom, Shedera,

  • 731languages! It is amazing!! It is awesome!!! As there are nearly 6,500 spoken languages in the world. 731covers slightly more than 10% of the total. That also meants at least 10% of world's races with difference languages/tongues are now make possible to use their most familiar mother tongue to learn Bible's truth and draw themselves closer to Jehovah. Indeed, this is a very remarkable achievement. We sincerely thank Jehovah for the following: 1) for making it possible for us to see how He Himself gradually makes His words come truth. 2) for giving every one of us to have the privilege and opportunity to learn to be His co-worker to work hands in hands with Him to make His wonderful promises come truth. Hence, allow us to experience the same Joy that He has when He makes his words come truth. In Revelation 7:9 and in Isaiah 66:18, Jehovah said, He wants to gather all nations and all languages/all tongues to be His people. Since, there are still 80% and more languages and tongues out there awaiting for the truths to reach their hearts and to touch their soul....and draw closer to Jehovah... May the zeal of Jehovah of armies, send in more workers to His fields, to speed up the fulfillment of His wonderful promises in its own time! In Jesus name we pray Amen:)

  • Whilst this is an impressive feat it has no bearing at all on whether what is contained on the site is actually TRUE or not. Large numbers do not = truth. Branch offices are closing around the world, the WT society needs more money from you so it can pay for a massive and unnecessary transfer away from the Brooklyn HQ and because of the enormous number of impending child abuse cases. Stephen Lett's JW broadcast of a few months ago was a cringeworthy attempt to get you all to dig deep and give money that many Wintesses do not really have to spare. Please, please, please do NOT assume that just because a website is translated into hundreds of languages it somehow means the creator of the universe is behind it. If he was that interested in the religion why did he not intervene to save the 30+ JW's who died in the Philippines when typhoon Haiyan hit? Where do his priorities lie if he'd rather concentrate on a website than saving lives?? P.S - Translating a website into several hundred languages would be made easier for the likes Google, Amazon, YouTube, BBC etc. if they had the thousands of hours of UNPAID labour that the JW's have

Many of the articles translated on the website and in published in paper form reflect on comfort for the mourning ones, relief for the depressed, hope for the future, and all from the Bible.

I was never baptized but am still shunned to this day, even some of my family still shun me. It's very sad that people who claim to love God, treat people who are different so badly.

  • Jwfacts.com Ladies and Gentlemen, run from this organization. Don't walk, run. I and several *thousands* others have testimonies about who the witnesses REALLY are. They may all seem nice,friendly, and welcoming, but when you want to leave, they will turn their backs on you. Even your mothers fathers uncles. Your own children will shun you at the command of the Watchtower. Jw will not tell you upfront that this is their policy. Forget the most translated Website. Also check out the ARC who's been investigating the witnesses because they are covering up Child Molestation and Sexual Abuse within their congregations. And don't forget about all the *false* prophecies that these guys have predicted. 1874,1914,1925 etc. Look it up. This is no Christian Congregation. Jesus wouldn't lie the way these people do and I should know, I've had experience with them. This church is filled with hypocrisy and you need to run from them far as you can. They say they serve Jehovah and I believe they do. But Not God. Jehovah isn't the name for God. Look that up too. Even their organization admits it's not God's name and yet they still use it for worship and praise. This is a CULT. Go to JWfacts.com if you want TTATT (TheTruthAboutTheTruth)

  • As one of Jehovah's people for over 30 years now, I am always amazed at the forward progress of his organization. Jehovah truly loves mankind and wants everyone to receive an opportunity to learn the truth found in the holy scriptures. With regard to Michael Jackson, only Jehovah truly knows his heart condition. As the bible states, the wages sin pays is death and his debt has been paid. He is now in the grave awaiting the resurrection with billions of others and will be given the opportunity to prove his loyalty in a new world and environment. May we all be thankful for the God of tender mercies we worship!

  • "Most translated" doesn't necessarily mean the most read. Also, as the article pointed out, the organization's efforts can be viewed as mass proselytizing, based in the Jehovah's Witnesses' belief that "This Good News of the Kingdom Must Be Preached In All the World" - before their apocalyptic vision of "Armageddon" can take place. That displays a slightly more sinister & chilling aspect of their extensive translation efforts.

  • As Jehovah's witnesses, we are conscious of the fact that we are indeed already in the last days when this wicked system of things will be totally destroyed. Hence, the intense global preaching work and for the preaching work to be effective, people must be preached to in their own languages. Without an iota of doubt, this world record proves that the organisation has the backing of Jehovah God as this is absolutely beyond any human/organisation to achieve. I really appreciate my spiritual heritage and thank Jehovah for it ."Come and taste and see that Jehovah is good."

  • Just because it is translated into many languages doesn't mean it's actually read or even doing good. The growth rate of Jehovah's witnesses is barely above the population growth yearly. Most new ones are children of witnesses. The translation is a remarkable feat, but nothing that truly means it has Gods backing. Just a bunch of people doing something they enjoy. Not as big of a deal as is being made here. And I agree with first post, I believe Michael Jacksons upbringing really messed with his head. Glad his daughter took a stand against it. And before anyone asks, no I'm not an ex JW.

  • staggering 731 different languages? Well, we are working harder to add more. why? Coz there are much more people who need to read the Bible and Bible-based literature in their own language to know about the true God Jehovah and what his government under Jesus Christ will do for mankind. To understand this, each individual needs to read the Bible for themselves and see/hear what it says not what others say it says. Check out the website www.jw.org. First item is "Read the Bible online". Also try the mobile app 'JW Library' it has several Bible translations not published by Jehovah's witnesses (King James, American Standard, Byington, etc). Everyone must hear this good news whether they join us in spreading it or not, even though we will be glad if they joined to help.

  • What do you mean by "different languages' variations of sign language"? I know that there is a signed version of English (signed exact English), but I don't think the JWs use that on their website. I imagine they use actual sign languages, which are varied in their grammar and vocabulary and which bear very little relationship with spoken languages. (American Sign Language is closer to French Sign Language, Dutch Sign Language, and Irish Sign Language than it is to British Sign Language, Australian Sign Language (Auslan), or New Zealand Sign Language).

That al sorts of persons might be saved by gaining an accurate knowledge of Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. How will they come to know if they do not understand the language? Thus the commission taken up by one group of people from every tribe, tongue and nation.

  • Nice article. Before the New World Translation was prepared, many became Jehovah's Witnesses by simply having studies using other translations of the Bible and may not have access to Watch Tower publications. Their emphasis is on purely teaching what the Bible says, nothing more and nothing less.

  • In order to educate millions in the world as quickly as possible, Jesus has used Jehovah’s Witnesses Multilanguage website, with 760 languages at this time and still growing. For instance, millions now know that God Almighty has a name. It is Jehovah. Jesus made his Father’s name known, as he stated at John 17:6, 26. Our bibles translate this name correctly in more than 7,000 places. The 1611 KJ bible had it correct in only 4 places, one being Ps 83:18. Now, the Divine Name KJ has restored our Creator’s name, rightfully, in all 7,000 some places. Genesis 18:18 says Abraham is surely going to become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed by means of him. This is prophecy in fulfillment today, as true followers of Abraham’s descendant, Jesus Christ, are unified worldwide...a Multilanguage brotherhood who all preach the good news of God’s Kingdom. We are Jehovah’s nations of people around the earth. Revelation 7:9 speaks about a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands. Psalm 37:29 speaks about the righteous who will possess the earth, and will live forever on it. At Matthew 5:5 Jesus spoke about how happy the mild-tempered are, since they will inherit the earth. Jesus said my kingdom is no part of this world. Satan tempted Jesus, though. Remember? Satan offered Jesus all the kingdoms on earth, if he would worship him. Jesus said worship belongs only to Jehovah. The false religious leaders and the political element of Jesus' day brutally killed the Son of God. These false religious leaders meddled in politics…like they do today. True Christians see the truth. We have been praying for God's kingdom to come, for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. God's government is no part of the world. Remember, “Who offered the kingdoms to Jesus?”(Matt 4:9) Think about it. The kingdoms on earth today are still controlled by Jesus' enemy, Satan, just as they were back then. Things have not changed. They won't change until Jehovah removes his enemies from power. Evil rule has been in charge on earth since Satan rebelled against God 6,000 yrs ago. The good news is that we are living during the time when the evil one's rule will end. All wickedness will end. Ps 37:9-11, 29 This means Satan's co-rulers, the human governments on earth will be completely removed forever! This will happen at Armageddon. All of these subjects and more can be searched on jw.org ...for example, "Who is Satan? What happens when we die? Who go to heaven and why? Search these questions. If you want to know what your bible really teaches, this is the website you need to go to. Look the scriptures up in your own copy of the bible.

  • This is truly an impressive accomplishment. However, the fact that information is translated does not make it truthful. For instance, from time to time, they get "new understandings". Hence, information previously translated in various languages and presented as the true was in fact false. So, while we can acclaim the technical achievement and the good will of everyone behind this, the information itself can be questioned.

  • The amazing thing about the website is that it is completely Bible oriented. Individuals are directed to check cited scriptures in what ever bible translation that they have to hand. You will note that there are a number translations that JW's used prior to preparing the New World Translation (NWT), however, they never shy away from using others, as the Bible's message is contained within all. The NWT is clearer as it is translated from available manuscripts, and the Divine Name, Jehovah (long used in English and rendered differently in other languages) has been restored to it's rightful places, as found in the original text. Please explore the site and you will truly find it enlightening.

  • M. Thomas said Reading this article I could not help but be reminded on the story of the Tower of Babel. Quite the interesting juxtaposition. I loved when I saw your post (above)!. Yes, what the Tower of Babel did was to make a confusion of languages so people wouldn't understand among themselves. This web site on the contrary (juxtaposition) has the power to facilitate the understanding among the Peoples that really want to do God's will so they speak 'the language of truth'. 1 Corinthians 1:10 says that God's followers should be united in what they say, in the same mind and way of thinking and do not have different doctrines ("Now I urge you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you should all speak in agreement and that there should be no divisions among you, but that you may be completely united in the same mind and in the same line of thought.") So, what this colossal work shows is no other than the work that true worshipers would be doing: Putting people together under a pure teaching of the truth of the Bible... Nobody would ever be able to hide the shine that Jehovah's People irradiate not even those that hate them more, like the apostate. They justify their misconduct, but God will bring their works to light so everybody sees their shame. Meanwhile, Jehovah's people keep preaching, preaching, preaching!!!

With the passage of time I lost all faith in the fire breathing god I was taught about and the catholic church that had taught me fear. I won't bore you with the details but the god whom I gave up on never gave up on me and he proved that by sending one his witnesses to knock my door. I have since learned that it is possible to find the truth about god even from imperfect people who make up a imperfect organization and I am very happy to say that I have become a Jehovah's witness myself. I still make as many mistakes as I used to when I was a catholic..but the difference is knowing that our creator does not expect perfection from imperfect people and that the reason behind everything that god does is love.

  • Another awesome topic to read by Hebrew and Greek Scholars and un-biased theologians is that NWT is the top most accurate bible translation. Sweet truth, in our Bible Museum, we have authentic 1613 KJ version, a beautiful master piece, as we JW describe it. And it has the name "JEHOVAH" in the more than 7,000 times that it appears in the Holy scriptures. It's so sad that the publishers of subsequent KJ translations chose to remove that name and substitute it with the title LORD in caps. More sad is folks don't know this and instead judge without knowledge. But how powerful and great all mighty Jehovah!!! Scholars agree the contents are intact despite the years of translations. Our loving creator, Jehovah, wants us to know truth and in due time all will know him, for better or for worse. Best to all! Let his name, Jehovah be sanctified, as Jesus instructed us to pray!

  • Our translation work is massive and so cool! And to be honest reading the Watchtower is not a requirement to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses...though we do study it once a week so it certainly does help. The main textbook is the Bible, and you also don't have to use the translation provided by Jehovah's Witnesses. If you choose to use the King James Versión, that's just fine-but very few people do, since it's much more difficult to understand as the language is archaic.

Sign language too is included - amazing. Some responding to this fact may have the could care less attitude or may think the JW's are tooting their own horn.- well I believe the facts speak for themselves - this is a genuine effort to reach as many people as is possible, and one way to to do that is to provide any form of publication in ones mother tongue and if the message is Biblical - so what every one should have the opportunity to examine a book that was designed to provide decent guidance and principles to live by -- let your prejudices go, the world has had far too much to deal with when it comes to trying to live a decent life - its up to you though - [my opinion only]

And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” (Matthew 28:19,20) He also said: "But you will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses of me in Jerusalem, in all Ju·deʹa and Sa·marʹi·a, and to the most distant part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) That's what the Witnesses are doing thoroughly.

  • Government of the earth and mankind by humans, including government by politicians, has been a disastrous failure. Democracy, the so called government BY the people, FOR the people and OF the people, is like the blind leading the blind. So the experiment of human rule is about to end. Democracy and all other political ideologies will soon give way to Theocracy which is rule by God the Creator. It is just as Revelation 11:17 states: ".....We thank you, Jehovah God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun ruling as king." This is a world shaking event that took place in 1914 backed by bible chronology and the fulfillment of bible prophecy and worthy of worldwide publicity. This is very clearly indicated by Revelation 14:6,7. Therefore Jehovah's Witnesses are proclaiming the message of God's Kingdom earthwide in over 800 languages.

  • Whether you like the work of Jehovahs Witnesses or not, believe the propaganda of those who hate it, or not, an important fact remains: this is not about religious dogma but a sincere bible education work. People hated Jesus because he went against the grain of his day...hated mostly for exposing the religious wickedness that existed, and Its the same today, but truth always prevails. We are well aware that bad things and people exist and happen in every religion and that makes that wrongdoer the bad one, not the whole religion. The bible is full of warnings about hypocrisy and JW's are constantly warned/counciled about it...it was in our weekly bible study, just this week. As a group, we detest and shun child abuse and alert the authorities to any who engage in it. Please Dont listen to those who hate JW's, it could cost you your life and Jehovah wants you alive and thriving, in his new world, soon to come. Rev 21:3,4

  • A website? Children are more important than a website! I am not a witness, I never have been but my sister and her husband are witnesses but want to leave. The Jehovah Witness Governing Body member Geoffrey Jackson testified under oath at the Australian Royal Commission last month. You can see it on YouTube. He admitted that it is Witness policy to appoint "repentant" child molesters as church elders. He admitted that the Witness elders are not appointed by the holy spirit and that the Kingdom Halls are a dangerous place for children. I asked one of your church elders at my door and he said "We already know about the 24,000 Witness pedophile database that we have at our bethel but we want our members to focus on our website right now, we don't tell them about the Australian Royal Commission because that's bad publicity. Translation and our website are the most important things right now." I told him that the Royal Commission was on CNN and hundreds of newspapers and he said because he doesn't have children himself that it's not a big deal to him. He said Witnesses are told not to search on Google because right now their governing body wants more donations and if Witnesses find out about this they will stop giving money. According to my sister, a lot of Witnesses are secretly planning to leave the church soon because of all this. What do you all think? Is a website more important than protecting children from those 24,000 Witness pedophiles? The Royal Commission said they care more about witness children than the witness parents. What do you think?

Bible readers know what Isaiah 60:22 says, but many do not know what it means. http://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/nwt/books/isaiah/60/#v23060022 In the late 1800's, Jehovah's Witnesses were a small group of people. However, now we have expanded to unbelievable numbers globally. The work of making disciples has produced phenomenal results! In 2014 over 8 million preachers studied with 9.5 million people, and 275,581 were baptised. That's 755 people every day who are adhering to the truth the bible teaches! Jesus said, at Jo 17:17, "...Your word is truth." There is only one truth in God's word. If you want to find it, you must study with Jehovah's Witnesses. Yes, there is a reason why the Witnesses are the only ones called by God's name, Jehovah.

  • The inspired Bible that JWs preach and teach tells all mankind that history is moving to a resolution .So every spark of beauty,worth and meaning that we experience in this wicked world,glimmers as a relic of a good world that still bears marks of its original design. Every twinge of pain,anxiety,cruelty and injustice is a relic of the fall away from that design.We live on a planet in rebellion against God since the time of Eden and the compounded results of mans sin shows we cannot rule ourselves succesfully when we ignore Jehovah and direct our own steps apart from him.So we are thankfully moving to a resolution and Bible prophecy at Romans chapt 8 verse 22. is about to be fulfilled bringing an end to wickedness,suffering and death. What love God has shown in not giving up on mankind,being prepared to give up his Son Jesus Christ to come to earth and show us the way back to him.Expect big events very shortly as God drops the curtain on this vale of tears and brings in a righteous new world under his Kingdom .Speak with Jehovah's Witnesses or look at JW.ORG. (Over 700 languages). Don't procrastinate,time is short(Matthew chapt.24. Verse 14 ). You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to tell them of these radical changes for the good as we see Gods purpose coming to fruition!

  • I don't usually comment on blogs or public posts, but I felt that I MUST correct the article regarding the statement that all Jehovah's Witnesses must read the Watchtower as a fundamental requirement to becoming one of Jehovah's Witnesses. That is absolutely and emphatically FALSE !! I was born and raised a JW and I am third generation JW, and neither my parents or Elders or my Bible Teachers ever said to me that I must be able to read the Watchtower in order to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses. The primary requirement to become a Jehovah's Witnesses is your personal decision to adhere to bible principles and change your life and personality to conform to Jesus role model which included preaching to everyone about the wondrous promise of God's Kingdom! It is a personal decision made between the individual and Jehovah God through prayer and then they approach the Elders and make a request to be baptized and if they are making visible efforts to reflect that in their life they are approved for baptism.

  • I know someone who went to the same KH as the Jacksons. Michaels father was not a JW. Occasionally he came to a meeting with his wife. His mother did her best to bring her children up with a husband who was obsessed with fame and fortune, for his kids. Had his father been more concerned with their spiritual welfare, they could have had a happy life. As for child molesters, I have been a JW for 75 years and my husband was an elder for many years. Only once in all those years did I know About a positively proven child molester in the congregation and he was promptly arrested. Elders take their responsibility to keep the congregation safe very seriously. Why on earth would they want a child molester among us. On the other hand when JWS refuse to associate with an unrepentant immoral person we are called cruel. You know that old saying " You're dame if you do and you're damd if you don't". A person can always be repentant and rejoin the congregation. Read 1 Corinthians chapter 5. The Apostle Paul told the congregation what to do about an unrepentant immoral Christian. Then in his Second letter to the same congregation in chapter two Paul wrote that they should forgive the man because he was repentant. JWs do their very best to follow the pattern set by Jesus and the Apostles. According to the book History of Western Civilization, " The beliefs of JWs are the closest thing to primitive Christianity"

  • I too am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I truly appreciated your article. I see others have corrected what you said about us being required to read the Watchtower and Awake as well as the bible. I don't think you dislike us, I think you just misspoke what you were trying to say, or could have just not be give the true facts. It happens to the best of us, it's just that as one of JW'S, our faith truly IS our way of life, and so much about us is misunderstood, that we can't help but try and correct it. One thing I didn't see any one else mention was that we also publish in braille, for the blind. And you can even download braille onto your tablets or phones! I don't know how it works, but I think it's amazing, and if I were blind, (as my father was) I would be sooooo happy NOT to have been overlooked! I had no idea we were the website your article was talking about, but knowing how very important it is to us to help people learn about Jehovah God, it didn't totally surprise me. If you have ever had the opportunity to show someone the bible, or a book , or the Watchtower in their native tongue.......well, I can tell you, their faces just light up, and they are so thankful. It reminds me of people who move to another state, or country, but still have their hometown newspaper mailed to them. It feels like HOME! Thank you so much for your article. so many times we only hear the bad things people who are not witnesses say. It's nice to hear when someone has something positive to say. And I personally have to apologize for all the Michael Jackson comments, both negative and the positive ones, for they have nothing what so ever to do with your article. from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU again for your article.

  • There is only ONE organized, world wide religion on the the planet who teaches the truth about God, Jesus, death, etc...and that is Jehovah's Witnesses. Before I became one in 1994, I researched many different religions, and these people are the only ones who actually PRACTICE what the bible teaches. Sure, there's gonna be hypocrites, but if a witness is found to be practicing something against what the bible says and they're unrepentant, they are no longer a witness, and must take certain steps to become reinstated. This is yet another reason why I know that I've found the truth!! I would expect nothing less than"haters" trying to raise doubts, and I would expect God's people to have the most translated website in the world!!

  • I was raised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. After suffering extreme repeated heartache, I left the organization because I no longer cared for myself. Years later, I ended up studying many other religions and even looked to science for the answers. I studied everything completely unbiased from the library. If anyone is reading this with curiosity who is not one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I can tell you this....after two years of in depth study I came to the unequivocal conclusion that Jehovah's Witnesses are teaching the absolute truth about is in the bible. And, if you have a scientific way of thinking, like me. Do not try and tackle the difficult questions first, like; "is there really an invisible God in the sky"? Instead, try something much more simple. If you are 'truly' searching (and not just trying to test a theory)...say a prayer and ask God to help you find the truth. I can't promise much when it comes to faith, but, I can promise you one thing for sure. If you pray to Jehovah for help, he WILL answer you! Try prayer out for yourself and you will see that all other complicated topics become less difficult when you discover that there actually is a creator who cares enough to listen to you. Try it out today and you will see it for yourself!

  • It is our heart that speaks to people, it is our heart that motivates us to move forward, to learn, to share what we learn. We can only motivate our hearts, if our brains are instructed in the language of our hearts ... if you are deaf - then bible truths in sign language touches your heart - if you speak English but are of a sub dialect that perhaps speaks pigeon English - then the bible truths in pigeon English would reach deeper into the heart than just English. This is why JW's spend time translating into so many languages so we can reach hearts and save lives and ultimately not only praise our God Jehovah but show people that he is God Almighty and he alone has the right to rule. (Ps 83:18 - Rev 4:11). Why so many comments on here as one poster asked? Because we want to credit to go to our God ... it is HIS organization and therefore it is he who deserves all the credit. I'm am so very proud to be a humble of Jehovah ... please may the efforts reach many many more hearts.

Jehovahs Witnesses is a world wide brotherhood.Im in florida when the hurricanes messed up the roof on my house fellow witnesses came and put on a new roof for free.. The watchtower bought shingles by the truckload..I also went out and fixed other peoples roof. My back hurt and I had blisters but I did it..Who would do that type of work for someone they never met before and would never see again and not being paid for it....That is true love..Matt 13:34,35..Jesus said thats how his followers could be identified by love.. All that literature we provide to people its done at no charge..Ive become friends with people I met in the door to door work..Became a friend to A disabled ex marine thats love

  • I was raised in a strict evangelical Baptist community. My pastors were quite clear in telling us that Witnesses were a cult who hated minorities and did not believe in Christ. I remember reading a tract against the Witnesses which declared they never mention Jesus in their religious services. Such misrepresentations are still alive and seem designed to caution people against listening to the Witnesses. In the 40s Witnesses were accused of supporting Nazism (though they were imprisoned in Germany). In the 80s and 90s they were accused of supporting Communism (though they were imprisoned and beaten in Communist countries). I am so proud that they have not given up loving people all over the world and willing to share the Bible's message of hope in whatever Bible translation a person prefers. They are a good people. Hal

  • Since Jehovah god and Jesus Christ is not partial,we were commanded to preach to all nations and tongues,to love our neighbor as ourself;that is why traslation of the Bible and related publications of spiritual food is essentially critical to the survival of everyone.(Acts 10:34,35;Matthew 28:19,20).JW is just doing the messenger work,inviting everyone to examine the good news of the kingdom or God's government ,and truth from God.Also,the time of the end of this 'critical time hard to deal with' is very near(2 Timothy 3:1-5.)Wicked world under Satan's rule will be wiped out to preserve the ones that does the will of God, to live endlessly in paradise on earth.(Luke 23:43) "Come! and let anyone thirsting come;let anyone who wishes take life's water free."

  • It is not "mandatory" for JWs to literally read anything. There are some who cannot read due to whatever physical or mental disabilities. However, the Bible itself says it's mandatory for those who want to worship God correctly to accurately learn about Him, His will, purposes and promises, and to live accordingly (John 3:16; 17:3). In order to do that, it is important to have access to the Bible in whatever format a person can use. Hence, there are audio recordings of the actual Bible for people to listen to online in many different languages for free. This is an amazing fete and a great benefit to those who are illiterate for whatever reason. The primary reason that JWs are translating the New World Translation, their publications and website into so many languages is because all who want to worship God the way He wants need to be united in their beliefs (1 Corinthians 1:10). In the past, JWs would use whatever Bible they could get in their language. Since some translations aren't as accurate as others, and the Bible, it can be easy for each group to believe only according to the Bible they are using. JWs worked hard to accurately translate the Bible from the earliest copies of the Bible available. They originally write the translation into English (the New World Translation) then translate the NWT into other languages, always trying hard to keep the wording as close to the early writings. This takes time, but diligently they continue to add different languages. The Watchtower and Awake are aids to understanding and learning more about the Bible and how to apply its teachings in our lives. Since they are smaller and less difficult to translate accurately, these are available in more languages than the New World Translation. In this way, no matter what Bible a person (JW or not) uses, they learn the exact same thing about what the Bible really teaches. That is what I believe makes this website, and Jehovah's Witnesses as a whole, so unique.

  • I really appreciated this nice article. However, I do have to make a clarification on your statement that they have their own special Bible. That is not an accurate statement. The Bible that Witnesses use is "different" from, say. the King James Bible, but the difference is in the accuracy of the translation. Most Bible scholars agree that the New World Translation is in fact THE most accurately translated Bible ever printed. I was translated from original manuscripts and painstakingly restored God's name, everywhere other translations removed God's name for whatever reasons. If there are "changes" it is only to be more accurate. Some don't like this because they just don't like change but the Bible itself says that God asks His followers to be willing to "worship Him in spirit and truth" and the most accurately translated Bible would offer anyone that opportunity. Check this out for yourselves. I think anyone that makes the effort will be pleasantly surprised. I know I did...and I was amazed.

  • I have been a witness for over 35 years this article puts emphasis on the reading of the WT publications, but it is the Bible where we find al the informatio...the Bible is being translated in the publications. It is manifested now that our purpose to translate the Bible us being TWISTED -- just as the history of the nation of Israel, the kings writings, the writing of the prophets, and the letters of the first centiry Christian [the Bible}... we are at work to help set straight the things that humanity needs to know to choose life...our work will end, we are here to serve the information right...abd that means putting it in terms that everyone caninderstand. The transaltions are imporatnt because people will come to know the way the information about our heritage has been hiden and twisted in the minds of the common people. Politicians, worldly kings, the higher levels of society, and news writers that do not explore for truth in search of heritage will mix things up -- so our publications open the Bible up to the truth about the heritage we have in Adam, Seth, --all along the blood line to Noah, and after, thru Abraham and Sarah -- with Jesus as the perfect heir...we will all live again in the blood of Christ -- because we will inherit his blood --perfection...the resurrection of the unrighteous is in our near future. We are from the spirit kingdom, not the mammal kingdom. This is something that is learned as you seek the Kingdom and the righteousness through the premise that we can be saved through the blood o the one seed - heir...Jesus. I am not speaking out of my own initiative, I speak from the evidence that I have that has convinced me that we do indeed inherit perfection just as we inherit the imperfection. My personal Bible study with the witnesses lead me to these truths--we are created equal. I do not worship the witnesses, I am a witness.I worship with truth and spirit. I worship the creator.

  • As one of Jehovah'so Witnesses,I too was once a member of a Protestant church. Their congregation was very ill- informed about Jesus' teaching of a earth wide paradise to be ruled by Jesus and his heavenly Bride-class. He, as the only begotten son of Jehovah God poured out his precious blood which, in turn provided a opportunity for honest hearted men and women to gain everlasting life without satanic influence on a cleansed, paradise right here on earth. All those asleep in death will be resurrected to live and learn of Jehovah's purpose for obedient mankind, in which our first parents gave up due to their disobedience and lack of appreciation that their Creator knows what is best for His loved creations. God's Kingdom will replace all man's imperfect governments and allow man to reach human perfection both physically and mentally, truly living in global peace! In other words, Jesus Christ bought back what Adam and Eve lost, everlasting life on a paradise earth. Rev. 21:1-4 Douglas Edward Burkepile

  • I knew WWW.JW.ORG was the most translated website before I did the search. Love the article, love most of the comments too. I agree that it shows Divine backing. And yes, JWs are not required to read the Watchtower or other publications. It is merely an aid to Bible study. JWs are also involved in literacy classes, teaching people to read and write...Not so that they can read our magazines or books but so that they can read the Bible. In my country (South Africa), with 11 official languages, the JWs publications are often the only literature available in that specific language. People can't wait for us to bring them magazines in their own language.

  • Not only do Jehovah witnesses put in so much time and effort into translating the bible and bible based articles, they do all this completely voluntary. All of our preaching work comes from our love to Jehovah God and our neighbors, not love for money because of course that isn't what we get out of it.

But that is the total number of languages in which either the web site is available, OR literature is available for download. Some of the languages are literature only. I counted the number of languages in which the web site itself is available, and I counted 614. Still by far the most translated web site in the world.

  • I was brought up as a member of Church of England. Never did I see anyone using a Bible in the church except as a fashion accessory. Never were we taught what the KIngdom meant, what Jehovahs name was nor his plan for humankind. I am most gratefu after years of closing the door on the JWs one day I listened and saw the pure logic of the Bible truths. BTW, one person above says that the JWs have now and then had new enlightenments which they seem to think proves we had false beliefs. Not so, the Bible tells us that as the time of the end approaches we will be given enlightenment progressively. It is much worse that other religions dont even tell the truth or seek daily to examine the scriptures as JW do and are willing to change when light becomes clearer on subjects

  • Just read the excellent post by Tomedes and 90% of the comments.I then visited JW.ORG and it is a well made bible study site! Most comments were intelligent thoughts. I saw a couple of disgruntled posters, who clearly had stopped practicing their JW religion and now had turned against it. They complained about being disfellowshipped, but I have read in the bible a passage that said not to even "say a greeting to such a man" and it was about a congregation member, back then, who had put himself in a position to be excommunicated [ the Catholic term for disfellowshipping ] The only other off base post I saw, was blaming Michael Jackson's religious upbringing for his conduct in show business. That's kind of dumb? Most all people in show business do things that are generally considered unchristian or unreligious. No one says that Marylin Manson is such a disgusting freak, because he was raised to be a catholic, methodist or whatever? I have noted through the years, the only time a person's actions in life are blamed on his religion, are when the person is known to be a JW. WHY IS THAT?? I have a copy of the New World Translation-the newest gray one and I like it more than all my other bible translations! I just looked up "what bible translation is most accurate wikipedia" on Google and scholars generally speak highly of, or consider the NWT to be the most accurate. They don't consider it perfect, just generally the best. Interesting! Thank you again tomedes for this info!

  • There is a vast unpaid army of volunteers happily giving up their time to help in the translation work, and there is just one overriding reason why they do this: love of God and their fellow man. Google, Wikipedia etc work on very different principles and can't really hope to compete with this highly organised religion. When you also factor in their various educational systems and disaster relief programs, along with their high moral codes of conduct, it is a wonder they get such negative press. Historic predudice is so hard to crack.

  • I agree with the comments about the Witnesses - or 'followers' as sometimes stated - not 'having' to read the Watchtower, Awake! Also, they do not have their own special Bible. The JW's Bible translation cannot be faulted for its accuracy, but don't take my word for it, check it out for yourselves by means of research of early Hebrew and Greek translations into English. JW's follow the bible's teachings, not any church teaching ie baptism...baptism for babies is not a bible teaching (cannot be found in the Bible) but a church teaching instead. So if church's teach this wrongly, what else are they teaching that is not bible based? For this reason JW's do not baptize babies. And the name Jehovah has not been 'put into' the JW Bible translation - instead, the name Jehovah has been removed from other translations and replaced with Lord, etc. Check it out for yourselves, don't just take JW's word for it.

  • Jose, the abomination you speak of is an abhorrence that isn't stuck within the bounds of Jehovah's Witnesses organisation like some seem to make it out as, nor is it a rampant disregard for safety. I'm sure that today you would be able to see that this issue is widespread, and by claiming Jehovah's Witnesses endanger their children by having a database about them is absurd. Would you state that NOT having a database would be safer? Legal institutions around the world have the same things, which protect the public. Of course, not in every place is this spruiked, nor posted on a witch-hunt to the unmerciless people quick to draw and quarter, but that database covers all cases of even an allegation. Would you be happy for someone who is wrongly accused to be drawn and quartered for a crime that they didn't commit? Many a man has been accused of this, and it sometimes takes decades before a confession from the accuser, if ever at all. And what about forgiveness? I was molested at school by an old man when I was 13 years old. I saw him later on in life, and as much as I didn't want to befriend him, I certainly don't hate him. Yes, he erred and messed my life up in many ways, along with others who attempted the same thing. But moving on, I could sit there and blame society for everything and how school didn't protect me, nor did the police when I was followed twice when I was even younger, not even coming to assist, but rather asking why I was not at home, and making me feel guilty. I had to lie down and hide in a garden, as a man in a car followed me over and over. Yet the law enforcement did nothing. Do I blame all police officers for this? Do I claim that a police station is a dangerous place for children to be? What about high school? I actually do claim that high school is a dangerous place to be, but not because of my experience with that person, but more so with the lies and bullying that went on that also helped wreck my innocence. It hasn't changed. High school is still the place where everyone is taught to get along by one mouth, and by the other loud mouth (peers), one is being educated that society is wicked, and for some tortuous. In conclusion, police stations and officers are vital for our society, even with these two oversights regarding this individual here (that's me...still here), before I reached my mid-teens even. I don't think your accusations are fair. As for the high schools, they are being investigated already. Still, when will it finally be ended? When Jehovah executes the wicked, unrepentant mankind. You went off focus from the article. If you were more inclined to read the internal evidence yourself, you'd be happy to see the many articles produced showing how to protect our children. This is not just in a Kingdom Hall, but when they are at the shops, at a sports event at the local park, at court, at school, at a gathering where there are many unbelievers, or any other place where a child molester might be. If you read these articles, you will see that Jehovah's organisation does indeed keep its congregation clean of unrepentant immoral people of all sorts, including child molesters. As a correction to something you stated from the past, it has been a requirement - even from before you typed your message by a handful of years I believe - that in that land of Australia, an appointed brother MUST have a Working with Children Check, and so must anybody who is involved with teaching children. Also generally speaking the point I wanted to make initially is that at the time of this writing, this website - https://jw.org - is translated into 887 languages.

  • This is a nice truthful article... posted and shared by JW's as "proof" that they have the true religion. Frankly, if there was money in translating Google content into Swahili, Google would be doing it. I recently went to an assembly where the traveling overseer had just come back from his trip to Hawaii to learn and translate JW literature into the Hawaiian language..... Uhhhhhm, not one person speaks Hawaiian as their first language.. Look it up! Just another notch on the 'ol belt, eh Governing Body? 851 languages, Woo Hoo!! How many other obsolete languages are you translating into? If JW's can grab this stat to prove that they are the one and only "true religion".. Let em have it if it makes them happy.. Hit me up in 2050 when the overlapping generation theory fails just like the last 5 Armageddon predictions have failed.. You hopeful JWs know what I'm talking about. Be honest. Just be happy like the rest of us. Take care of this earth, and stop waiting on God to fix it for you.. Ha, I've gotten way off topic. Love the JW brothers and sisters, hate the Watchtower propaganda.

  • @Ofer Tirosh I know this is a couple of years old but I just happened across it today. I think the number of translations is up to about 897 now. Maybe more as the translation work is never ending. And some of the languages being translated to are used by very small groups of people in distant villages that no other secular website would ever think twice about putting the effort into. But the love that JW's have for all people is immense because it's not the number of people who speak a certain language and dialect that determines if Jehovah's message would be translated for them, but it's the fact that there someone out there that needs to hear his message. I'm writing though to thank you Ofer Tirosh for your unbiased and informed piece of reporting. Obviously, I am one of JW's. But I'm not just thanking you for shining a favorable light on the work that our organization is trying to do, but thanking you for writing an article, a news piece/story, that's about facts and information. It's hard to find unbiased news reporting nowadays. Even the biggest stations, sites and newspapers today write articles that have their personal opinions at its core while they strategically wrap information and 'facts' around that opinion. Instead of reporting just the accurate facts and letting the reader develop their opinion around those facts. Your article was respectiful while not leaning too far one way or the other on your own personal feelings. As other people have already replied, I do want to reiterate that the huge translation work is not because of any requirement that JW's all read the Watchtower.... though the Watchtower is one of our primary Bible based tools that are used to show unity around the world since all JW's in all homes and Kingdom Halls around the world have the same valuable lessons and study material every week. The main goal in the translation work is to fulfill Bible prophecy, namely Mathew 24:14. What you said was not wrong but it helps to have a little more insight to tie together the information you discovered in your research. Thank you again sir. Have a great day!

In order for people to participate in the religion, they have to be able to read the Watchtower's publications, and translating their publications into believers' own language is necessary for them to belong to the religion" let me please correct it no special translation of bible actually more accurate primarily putting Jehovah gods name back in the bible instead of titles like lord and god the translation into each persons language is so they can better understand the bible truth in their own tongue which speaks to their heart also it is done so they can learn the true religion which is different from false religions as if they were all doing what the bible teaches there would be only one religion at the same spiritual table . now really what they are trying to do is save peoples lives because shortly Jehovah god and jesus Christ will take over and remove all religions and goverments if you have enough time run run to a kingdom hall or goto jw.org and get a free bible study so you can live anyone not kingdom citizens when the kingom of the heavens takes of will die please save you life take action now IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIME world condition are right the end is shortly

  • Thank you Jehovah's Witnesses for your answers. This is what is spoken of in the prophet Joel, “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. 30 I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. 32 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, even among the survivors whom the Lord calls. Joel 2 Today, Jehovah does not speak to us directly from the heavenly realm. We know from the Bible that in the first century, God enabled some anointed Christians to work miracles. (Acts 3:2-7; 9:36-42) Among the “different gifts” of the spirit were “gifts of healing.” (1 Cor. 12:4-11) But those and other gifts, such as speaking in tongues and prophesying, would soon come to an end. (1 Cor. 13:8) They are not available today. Even in Bible times, these supernatural communications were rare events, sometimes separated by centuries. Throughout history, Jehovah has most often communicated with his people in more indirect ways. Such is the case in our day. A way in which Jehovah communicates with us today: *The principal instrument of communication between God and humans is the Bible. So today prophesy means to preach the truth, and Jehovah's Witnesses are preaching the truth in these last days. The truth is God's name is Jehovah, and this good news of the kingdom which shall crush all the kingdoms of the earth today. Everyone who calls upon the name of Jehovah shall be saved. Jehovah's Witnesses are preaching the truth, and it is devastating my religious beliefs.

  • As I was preparing for an assignment, I felt the need to "Google" this interesting subject. I am not surprized that the articles number has increased and I am happy to share that to date the number of languages on jw.org is 953 since this article was posted. I do not have the details on the other figures for comparison but regadless I doubt that it is necessary. No site has the need, the manpower or the spirit of Jehovah to accomplish such a feat. My mother tounngue was Spanish but being raised in the U.S. I feel like English has become my mother toungue since I process "most" of information in English, but there is something about Spanish that still reaches my heart more than English ever will. I am so blessed to have access to this amazing site and to the jw app which is also in a lot of languages! Most today love technology so I invite you to check it out, search any subject you will find information that will amaze you. The site cites (no pun intended) a plathora of secular information that Jehovah's Witnesses did not write, scientific, and medical material as well as many solid encyclopedias - to remove doubt that the information is "made up" or based on "our views". Keep it positive, if you check it out you will not lose a thing but if you don't you will never know if you can gain something of great value - in Jesus' words John 17:3 "knowledge" that leads to everlasting life!

  • All the children of the Jackson Family have been exposed to the Jehovah's Witnesses at some point in their lives. The only ones that stayed are: Katherine (the mother) Rebbie, LaToya was for a while, and yes, so was Michael. But the rest of them didn't stay very long. It's also speculative that even Joseph (the father) may have had some exposure to the Jehovah's Witnesses through his side of the family as well. Ummm, as far as the Jehovah's Witnesses being the one and only true religion is questionable. There are many other religions that will make that same proclamation of being "The Only One True Religion". Religion in of itself is a works-based system no matter how you cut it. What really matters the most is having a true relationship with Jesus Christ and God the Father. That is all that matters. And yes, I too, have studied with the Jehovah's Witnesses for many years but never really made a full commitment in becoming one of them. I've heard too many horrifying stories about the group and the individuals who have been severely emotionally, psychologically, as well as spiritually hurt and damaged. My heart goes out to those who are hurting. There is help out there for those who seek it and find it.

  • Matthew 24:14 states that the good news of God’s Kingdom will be preached as a witness to all the nations and then the end ( of this wicked system of human rulership) will come. We can see the fulfilment of this prophecy by means of the exponential increase in the number of languages. What makes this so remarkable is that this is all done by an organisation of willing volunteers who do not even solicit funds for their literature. or for any of their services.This is nothing short of a modern day miracle. Undoubtedly, this work is being blessed by Jehovah God himself, under the direction of his son, Jesus Christ. Jesus did say that his followers would do works greater than the works which he did. Without a doubt, this has got to be the one and only true Religion.The evidence speaks for itself. What do you think?

For example, try to speak "save my marriage JW", or "employment JW" or a phrase of a Bible scripture you wish to locate, followed by JW. Videos and musical videoclips at tv.jw.org is also a delight!

  • you were very misleading when commented on WHY it is the most translated website in the world. your comment was that it was because, primarily in order to understand the bible you had to be able to read the Watchtower. that is VERY misleading the WT is like your glasses, it's not your eyes they just make see more clearly. it is a discussion of a bible topic.
