tiandi.info Map Now Uses the Google Earth Plug-in

The Map of Chinese Protogroups, Groups, and Congregations at tiandi.info has been enhanced with Google Earth Plug-in technology. This allows the current map file to be viewed, zoomed into, etc. right on the web page without having to be downloaded and opened in the Google Earth program. Of course, this option is still available for those who want the bigger view and other additional options offered by the full program.

A static screenshot of some Google Earth Plug-in content. The content on the Map page at tiandi.info is live and interactive, and it is bristling with placemarks representing Chinese protogroups, groups, and congregations all around the world.

An example of the power and resolution of Google Earth and the Google Earth Plug-in is that thanks to precise directions from a sister in the Nairobi Chinese Group in Kenya, this group’s placemark on the Map now points to the exact building in which it meets, the Nairobi Bethel Kingdom Hall.

New World Site Additional Video File Version, Background

A couple of updates have been made to the New World site, mentioned in the previous post:

• The iPod/iPhone video file download page has been renamed to iPod/iPhone/VLC, reflecting the availability of a new video file version of the short film “‘First’ Prayer” that is suitable for playback on operating systems for which QuickTime 7.6 is not available (e.g. versions of Windows older than XP), by using the program VLC media player instead. A download page link for VLC media player is also provided.


• The background text on the main page has been expanded with more quotes and text about the value and true purpose of fiction/storytelling.

Short Film: New World—“First” Prayer

This is only indirectly related to the Chinese field, but maybe some of you will find it interesting. The title of this post refers to a fictional short film that depicts a Chinese-Canadian youth praying to Jehovah God for the first time since he truly developed faith in him. I and a few others shot it a few years ago, but having been busy with various things since then, I only recently finished editing and rendering versions that can be streamed or downloaded from the Internet.

While the dialogue is in English, and the subject matter is not unique to the Chinese field, the main characters are Chinese-Canadian, thus the indirect link to the Chinese field. Click on the picture below to go to a web page that contains links for viewing Small, Medium, and Large streaming versions (streaming works in Safari on the iPod touch and the iPhone), a download link for an iPod/iPhone-compatible video file version, information on requesting DVD copies, and also some additional background information regarding this project:
