Anthony : You forgot to mention that after free labor and the numerous hours time spent from volunteers, the Watchtower Society owns these properties and has the right to sell them at any time. No wonder the society need members around the world with construction skills.

so, anthony...what occupations do the society need '' today'' and after armageddon?
Over the past 28 years, more than 11,000 of Jehovah’s Witnesses have left their homes and even the country where they lived to construct buildings in 120 countries. All have happily donated their skill and energy full-time, without pay.
Many paid their own way to get to the project. Some used their vacation to work. Others took a leave from their regular employment, forfeiting considerable income.
They were under no compulsion to make such sacrifices, but they offered themselves willingly to advance the global preaching of the good news of the Kingdom. (Matthew 24:14) They have constructed offices, residences, and facilities for the printing of Bibles and Bible-based literature. Jehovah’s Witnesses have also built Assembly Halls with as many as 10,000 seats and Kingdom Halls with up to 300 seats.
This activity is still under way. Once the workers arrive at a project site, the local branch office provides housing, meals, laundry, and other daily needs. Local Witnesses also share in the joy of construction work.
To organize and coordinate this vast effort, an international program was set up in 1985. To share in this program, volunteers must be Jehovah’s Witnesses who are between 19 and 55 years of age and skilled in at least one construction trade. Typically, an assignment in the program will range from two weeks to three months, though sometimes it may extend for a year or longer.
Wives of construction workers have been trained to do such tasks as tying reinforcing steel together with wire, setting tile, or sanding and painting. Others help prepare meals for the workforce or clean their accommodations.
When volunteers return to their homes, some of them write to express thanks that they were invited to work. One couple wrote: “We want to thank you very much for the privilege we had to work at the branch in Budapest. The Witnesses in Hungary were so loving and appreciative! Saying good-bye to them after our month there was difficult. But that’s always the case, isn’t it? We hope to be able to go again in the spring. Each time we’ve gone on an assignment, it has felt like the best month of our lives.”

So, Anthony...What occupations do the Society need '' today'' and after Armageddon? ''For example, we need construction skills around the world right now''
Anthony...I see your point! Doctors and Lawyers cannot build Kingdom Halls and large Watchtower complexes. The Society needs thousands of manual laborers and only a few Lawyers.
Only hard-working members in the building trades ( carpenters, plumbers, electricians, drywallers, truck drivers, cement contractors) that benefit the Watchtower Society need to apply!

Errors? That book is full of LIES! Not just errors. They said that this book was the finest translation back in 1984, when they bashed the King James version for having so many faults.
Here is just one example of a lie from the Governing Body and Writing Committees 2013 New World Translation revision:
2 Corinthians 5:20 KING JAMES BIBLE
2 Corinthians 5:20 NEW WORLD TRANSLATION 2013
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors+ substituting for Christ,+ as though God were making an appeal through us. As substitutes for Christ, we beg: “Become reconciled to God.”

"Finest" is not synonymous with "perfect" or "error-free".

12. Since the Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible, what questions arise?
12 The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction. In fact, the Watch Tower Publications Index includes the heading “Beliefs Clarified,” which lists adjustments in our Scriptural understanding since 1870. Of course, Jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food. So how can we answer Jesus’ question: “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave?” (Matt. 24:45) What evidence is there that the Governing Body is filling that role? Let us consider the same three factors that directed the governing body in the first century.
Here is the Watchtower Study article stating that the Governing Body is ''neither inspired nor infallible, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction and not produce perfect spiritual food.''
So if Jehovah inspired an imperfect organization to write a newly revised edition, how can the New World Translation be the ''finest translation'' without containing any errors?

newspaper article on shunning.. 2019-11-10. leaving her faith gaining her freedom--usa today and postcrescent.

Ali Bautista says family and friends abandoned her after she left the faith. Speaking out online, she finds a new community that spanned the globe.

Diana Dombrowski, Sheboygan Press
While Bautista and many people on YouTube describe their experiences being shunned by their Jehovah's Witness communities, Hendriks, the church's U.S. spokesman, said shunning isn't part of the religion.
"We don't shun," Hendriks said. "Shunning would be cutting somebody off and pretending they don't exist. That's just not the case."
Really, Jehovah's Witnesses don't shun? Not according to Watchtower articles!
"By cutting off contact with the disfellowshipped or disassociated one, you are showing that you hate the attitudes and actions that led to that outcome. However, you are also showing that you love the wrongdoer enough to do what is best for him or her. Your loyalty to Jehovah may increase the likelihood that the disciplined one will repent and return to Jehovah." Watchtower 2011 Feb 15 p.32
"And all members of the congregation need to be determined to avoid the company of disfellowshipped individuals." Watchtower 2011 Nov 15 p.5
"Despite our pain of heart, we must avoid normal contact with a disfellowshipped family member by telephone, text messages, letters, e-mails, or social media." Watchtower 2017 Oct p.16
here's a new article that came out:.
do jehovah’s witnesses baptize infants?no.
the bible does not endorse infant baptism.
The goal of baptism is to let them "get their hooks" into the youth so they have power over them to prevent them from leaving in the future.

Here is my review after watching the ''ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES VIDEO''
The video begins with ''Congregation members willingly contribute their money to ''JEHOVAH'' to advance Kingdom interests.''
Really? The last time I checked all contributions were sent to the Watchtower Society.
The video goes into detail on how the local Elders decide on the priorities of the contributions the local congregation received. What do the Elders discuss? Do they discuss and meditate on the following scriptures?
Matthew 19:21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Acts 2:44-26 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity.
Galatians 2:10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.
They don't discuss the poor, the sick, the homeless and helping widows! They discuss ''operating expenses'' and ''project activities'' of their local congregation needs.
SHAME ON YOU, WATCHTOWER SOCIETY!

Hurricane Dorian, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, made landfall as a Category 5 storm on Great Abaco Island in the northern Bahamas on Sunday morning, September 1, 2019. Dorian is especially dangerous due to its slow movement, high wind speeds, and heavy rains. The storm passed by the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands as a tropical storm with little or no reported damage.
The United States branch office continues to gather information while monitoring the storm’s impact on our brothers and also on branch-owned properties. At this time, there have been no reported injuries among the 46 publishers in the two congregations on Great Abaco Island. However, the only Kingdom Hall on the island was destroyed.
On Grand Bahama Island, there are four congregations and 364 publishers. Initial reports indicate that 196 of our brothers are displaced and 22 homes have sustained damage. Three homes have been destroyed.
The branch provided instruction in advance of the storm to local circuit overseers and elders in the affected areas. The branch recommended that all the brothers relocate to the capital city of Nassau or other sheltered areas.
We pray for our brothers and sisters who are suffering as a result of this hurricane. We know that Jehovah sees their difficulty and will continue to give them strength to cope with this time of distress.—Psalm 46:1, 2.
Here is a photo of the Bahamas after it was hit with a powerful storm, Hurricane Dorian. Lives were lost, businesses and homes were destroyed. Rebuilding will take years and hundreds of millions of dollars.
So, what is the Watchtower Society really concerned about? Publishers and Kingdom Halls!
Where is the concern about the locals and their property? Why aren't they praying over the locals?
Since Jehovah sees their difficulty, why didn't he stop the powerful storm in the first place? And what does, '' give them strength to cope with this time of distress'' really entail?
