1026 now. As of Sunday the 18th October. Truly Amazing
JW.ORG Reached 1000 Translations on 5th November 2019 😊
13/7/18- 956 …and counting . Good article, thank you.
Actually, Jehova’s Witnesses are the only ones fulfilling a bible prophecy found in Matthew 24:14 & Matthew 28:19,20- one of the signs that we are living in the last days of this wicked system of things. See,also, 2Timothy 3:1-5 ,13
Yes! Jehovah’s people are working so hard and Jehovah is speeding things up!
Gives me goosebumps to see what Jehovah’s organization is accomplishing!
It’s almost time!!!
Actually it’s a little more interesting than that.
JW.org = 943
Wikipedia = 299
However, if you take Watchtower Online and JW Broadcasting as separate sites which technically they are among the top 5 sites on the internet are as follows:
JW.org = 943
WOL.JW.org = 541
Wikipedia = 299
TV.JW.org = 232
Google = 149
Throw in Apple and Google’s Translation site and the numbers look even more impressive.
Apple = 121
Google Translate = 103
Basically Jehovah’s Witnesses have material in almost 1/2 of the spoken languages on the planet whereas the first non-Witness site in the list has 644 fewer languages.
What’s even more amazing is that if you look at the top four translated websites they consist of two organisations and to nail the point home both of these organisations have their content written by volunteers.
