Simplifying The Watchtower Download Beginning with the July 2011 issue, a simplified English edition of The Watchtower began to be produced for a trial period of one year. Now the trial is over, and the verdict is to continue publishing the simplified version indefinitely. Beginning in January 2013, simplified editions will also be available in French, Portuguese, and Spanish. The simplified edition was designed to help those who attend English congregation meetings at the Kingdom Hall but who do not speak English as their mother tongue. From the very first issue, letters of appreciation have poured in. One came from 64-year-old Rebecca, who lives in Liberia and who never went to school. She wrote: “ I am learning to read. Sometimes I would read The Watchtower, but I would not understand it. I love the simplified edition. I can understand it.” Many parents are using the simplified edition to help their children prepare for the Watchtower Study, one of the meetings of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Rosemary, who is raising three granddaughters, writes: “ Studying The Watchtower with the girls has always been a challenge. We had to use a dictionary to look up the meaning of many of the words. So much time was spent just understanding the wording of some articles that the children often missed the point. Our time is now spent on the scriptures and how they tie in with the lesson.” Here is an example that shows the difference between the standard text and the simplified text. In the description of a meeting of Christ’s apostles in Acts chapter 15, the standard edition states: “ What followed was, not a mind-numbing theological debate over dry technicalities, but a lively doctrinal discussion.” The simplified edition states: “ Their meeting was, not a boring religious argument about unimportant details, but an exciting discussion about Bible teachings.”

Pojednostavljeno izdanje Stražarske kule U srpnju 2011. počelo je izlaziti pojednostavljeno izdanje Stražarske kule na engleskom jeziku. Nakon probnog roka, koji je trajao godinu dana, odlučeno je da će ono i dalje izlaziti. Od siječnja 2013. izlazit će i pojednostavljena izdanja Stražarske kule na francuskom, portugalskom i španjolskom jeziku. Pojednostavljeno izdanje Stražarske kule na engleskom jeziku počelo je izlaziti kako bi se osobama kojima taj jezik nije materinji pomoglo da lakše prate pouku na vjerskim sastancima Jehovinih svjedoka koji se održavaju na engleskom jeziku. Već od prvog broja dobili smo svu silu pisama u kojima su mnogi izrazili zahvalnost za to izdanje našeg časopisa. Jedno od njih stiglo je od šezdesetčetverogodišnje Rebecce koja živi u Liberiji. Rebecca nikad nije išla u školu. Ona kaže: “ Učim čitati i pisati. Prije sam pokušavala čitati Stražarsku kulu, ali nisam je razumjela. Volim pojednostavljeno izdanje jer ga razumijem.” Mnogi roditelji koriste pojednostavljeno izdanje da svojoj djeci pomognu pripremiti se za Razmatranje Stražarske kule, jednu od točaka na sastancima Jehovinih svjedoka. Rosemary, koja ima tri unuke, napisala je: “ Nije bilo lako proučavati Stražarsku kulu s unukama. Često smo tražili značenje riječi u rječniku. Budući da smo trošili puno vremena pokušavajući razumjeti značenje riječi, curice često nisu shvatile pouku. Sada možemo više vremena posvetiti biblijskim recima, pa one lakše razumiju kako su reci povezani s gradivom.”
