A spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses — Australasia said the demand for digital resources had “not gone unnoticed” by the organisation.
“In recent years, there has been an ever-increasing demand for information in digital media format such as audio-video material,” the spokesman said.
“This technology is another effective means to make Bible education available to as many as possible.”
He said while there was still a focus on producing printed Bible education material, the organisation was “giving increased attention in establishing facilities that can produce audio-video based information” to meet the current demand.
