2. MADE IN JAPAN, THE BINDERY


The MULLER MARTINI BINDERY LINE produces 3,600 Bibles per hour. 400 meters from go to woe. Actually it's only part of the process as there are a bunch of other machines on another floor producing the cover.




"Siamese twin" Bibles ready to be cut into 2

Quality control

Speeding around the line.



Covers made of PU leather. (No cows were harmed in the making of these covers)
Ready made coveres are attached

Cover quality control checkpoint

Almost done


Shrink wrap

Stacked
 
Into the carton

And automatically palletised, ready to be shipped to a branch near you...
But there is more
There are 2 machines applying the silver foil to the edge of the pages
There is a machine that inserts the markers
There are machines to make the covers
 
A machine that heat embossed the title onto the cover
And many many many hands nimbly working away
Hundreds of happy volunteers

Thank you to all of the brothers in Japan who have contributed to producing these wonderful new Bibles and shipped them to us without charge.
Sayonara,
Lloydnalex

    Our faithful brothers and sisters toiling on our behalf. It is so beautiful to see what's done behind the scene . . . it is of great encouragement to the entire brotherhood and most importantly it is of great benefit to observe what's done within the "engine" of the heavenly spiritual chariot. 兄弟・姉妹　皆様よろしくでおねがいします

    What a wonderful surprise to get our brand-new revised New World Translation of God's Word. Jehovah knows what we need at just the right moment. What shout of praise to glorious creator.

    Thank you for all the loving efforts of our spiritual family to help provide for us such a beautiful treasure given to us from our loving God...Jehovah! May we use it exactly as He intended for us to... from a very grateful Kingdom publisher! PS. I recently had to give a very last minute talk for the Ministry School (was asked during the opening song) and using the new bible and the excellent extra features that have been included, it made it so much easier to do...my whole talk was contained in that beautiful bible!

    Much easier to honor & praise Jehovah, no matter if at the meetings or in the ministry. Also, now I DO NOT have to spend time adding my special scriptures in the back of my Bible! Jehovah thinks of everything!

    Here in North Carolina WOW! was also my sentiment when we received those 'beautiful' swords. Never saw that coming, but what a delightful surprise. So greatful for the young ones who use their energy to print this wonderful tool and for Jehovah for giving us something else to reach those 'sighing and groaning.'

    Very refreshing to see clean and organization in such a chaotic world. Thanks for much for posting these pictures. Nice way to start the day. I'm from Sweden and our branch is basically closed as is Norway and everything being organized and run from Dänemark. I love the simplification and efficiency of Jehovah's organization.
