A Webcast Spanning the World Download On Saturday, October 5, 2013, an audience of 257,294 in 21 lands attended the 129th annual meeting of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania either in person or via a live webcast. Later that weekend, additional Witnesses viewed a replay of the program. The total attendance was 1,413,676 in 31 lands. This year’s meeting proved to be the largest gathering of Jehovah’s Witnesses yet, surpassing the 1,327,704 who viewed a special program held in Mexico and Central America on April 28, 2013. Starting in the 1920’s, Jehovah’s Witnesses broadcast their conventions to international audiences using telephone lines along with vast radio networks. Now, Internet technology allows attendees even in remote locations both to hear and see events either as they happen or soon afterward. William, who is one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the United States, attended a convention in Richmond, Virginia, in 1942 and listened to the program over a telephone tie-in. Comparing that experience with this year’s annual meeting presentation, he says: “You get so much more from the program when you can see it. There is really no comparison.” Members of several branch offices of Jehovah’s Witnesses worked for over a year setting up the webcast, devoting many thousands of hours in the process. On the weekend of the webcast, technicians monitored the program from a control center in Brooklyn, New York, and stayed on duty around the clock as it was shown at venues in 15 time zones. Ryan, who helped set up and keep watch over the webcast, said, “We lost sleep, but knowing how many more were able to benefit from the program made it all worthwhile.”

Internetski prijenos koji je ujedinio svijet U subotu 5. listopada 2013. održan je 129. godišnji sastanak korporacije Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. Program su pratile 257 294 osobe u 21 zemlji. Dio slušatelja okupio se u kongresnoj dvorani Jehovinih svjedoka u američkom gradu Jersey Cityu, a ostali su pratili izravni prijenos putem interneta. Snimku sastanka tog su vikenda vidjeli još mnogi Jehovini svjedoci — ukupno 1 413 676 osoba u 31 zemlji. Bio je to najveći skup Jehovinih svjedoka — veći od onog održanog 28. travnja 2013. u Meksiku, koji su pratila 1 327 704 Jehovina svjedoka. Još 1920-ih kongresi Jehovinih svjedoka mogli su se slušati širom svijeta putem telefona i radioprijenosa. Danas internetska tehnologija omogućava ljudima u najudaljenijim krajevima svijeta da određena događanja slušaju i gledaju u izravnom prijenosu ili pak kratko nakon što ona završe. William, Jehovin svjedok iz Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, uvjerio se da je puno ljepše pratiti neki skup putem videoprijenosa nego telefonom. On je 1942. putem telefona pratio kongres koji se održavao u Richmondu (Virginia, SAD). No nakon godišnjeg sastanka održanog 2013, koji je pratio putem interneta, rekao je: “Od programa imaš puno veću korist kad gledaš predavače i druge sudionike. To se ne da usporediti s onim što je bilo ranije.” Članovi nekoliko podružnica Jehovinih svjedoka više od godinu dana marljivo su radili na realizaciji ovog prijenosa i na to su utrošili tisuće sati rada. Prvog vikenda u listopadu 2013. internetski prijenos godišnjeg sastanka nadzirao se iz kontrolnog centra u Brooklynu (New York). Tehničari su radili non-stop, sve dok se program prenosio u 15 vremenskih zona. Ryan, kompjuterski tehničar koji je radio na ovom projektu, rekao je: “Bili smo neispavani, ali znali smo da će jako puno braće i sestara imati koristi od programa, i zato se sav naš trud isplatio.”
