Improving Our Skills in the Ministry—Navigating JW.ORG 

WHY IMPORTANT: Every publication in our Teaching Toolbox refers to jw.org. In fact, the main purpose of the contact card and the tract Where Can We Find Answers to Life’s Big Questions? is to direct people to our website. You can place a publication from our Teaching Toolbox with someone by using jw.org to e-mail an electronic copy or share a link. This can be especially helpful when witnessing to someone who speaks another language. Additionally, people may ask questions that are answered by publications not found in our Teaching Toolbox. If we can navigate the website, we can be more effective in our ministry.

HOW TO DO IT:
• Use the “BIBLE TEACHINGS” tab. Suppose that you are witnessing to a parent who would like more information about child-rearing. Go to BIBLE TEACHINGS > MARRIAGE & FAMILY.
• Use the “PUBLICATIONS” tab. Suppose that you are witnessing informally at school and you want to share with a classmate the brochure Answers to 10 Questions Young People Ask. Go to PUBLICATIONS > BOOKS & BROCHURES.
• Use the “ABOUT US” tab. Suppose that you are witnessing to a coworker who would like to read a brief explanation of our beliefs. Go to ABOUT US > FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

WATCH THE VIDEO NAVIGATING JW.ORG, AND THEN CONSIDER WHERE YOU WOULD GO ON THE WEBSITE TO HELP:

Before offering a printed publication in the Ministry, we try to know its contents. Likewise, when we address people to the jw.org site, using the teacher’s kit publications, we need to know how to navigate well on the site.

For example, if we give someone a business card, and we simply say that the site will find some interesting content, maybe the person will not be motivated enough to visit the site. Saying something specific instead could stimulate your curiosity.

You could say, maybe you’ll be surprised to know, that one of the most asked questions on our website is: What does the Bible say about tattoos?
Another question that intrigues many is: Has the day of our death been established? I think he will find the answer interesting, which is given.
These articles can be found by typing tattoos, I have day / death, in the search bar of the site.

You can use the site, also to help people looking for the answer to specific questions.

• An Atheist

 For example, where you can find information, which could be of interest to those who question the existence of God. On the homepage, click on “BIBLE TEACHINGS”, and then on science and the Bible. In this section, you will find interviews, accurate articles, to support the existence of a creator.

• Someone Who Has Just Suffered a Tragedy

Where you can find information, which could help, to those affected by a tragedy. On the homepage, click on “BIBLE TEACHINGS”, and then on peace and Happiness. In this section, under the coping with tragedy you will find accurate articles on how to help someone who has just been hit by a tragedy.

• An Inactive Brother or Sister

Where you can find information that could help an inactive publisher. To find the booklet, Return to Jehovah, type the brochure title in the search bar, and then click on search.

• A Return Visit Who Wonders How Our Work Is Financed

 And if someone asks you, how our work is financed. At the top of the home page, click “ABOUT US”, and then, about Jehovah’s Witnesses. You will find the link to the article, How is the Work of Jehovah’s Witnesses Financed?

• A Person From Another Country Who Wants to Attend a Meeting in His Homeland

And if a person of another nationality wants to attend a meeting in his country of origin. At the top of the home page, click “ABOUT US”, and then, on meetings.

Click on Find a location near you, in the search bars, enter the language, and enter an address or location, and then click on search.

If we know how to navigate well on jw.org, we can help people of all kinds to accept the good news.
