The center plans on producing more audio-visual advice content that will focus on living a principled life and parenting.
The Jehovah's Witnesses announced plans to build a 1.5 million-square-foot audio-visual production center in Upstate New York, two miles away from the Witnesses' headquarters in Warwick. The organization plans to create more videos with parenting device, despite a recent bombshell investigation alleging wide-scale child abuse and coverups.
The organization's outreach is now supplementing its traditional door-to-door approach by putting more money and manpower behind producing online content in response to the rise and reach of social media platforms. "We're ramping up production in response to heavy demand" of audio-visual offerings, Zick said."People find these materials to be useful, so we're putting more resources behind them, and we're putting everything under one roof."
It won't just be audio and visual equipment under that roof—the Witnesses are also designing the new media center to be livable. It will have residences, a fitness center and underground parking. Currently approximately 1,000 volunteers live and work in the 1.6-million-square-foot headquarters. An additional 1,000 volunteers are expected to take up residency in the new center once it is finished.meetingA group of Jehovah's Witnesses stand on a street corner on August 16, 2019 in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
