Fred Frantz may of been looked up to like Moses in his glorious days with all his teachings.

Today, he sounds more like Mickey Mouse. A young person walking around dressed in a fake costume, pretending he is real to all gullible young children.

Construction Projects

By the end of 2015, some 23,000 Witness volunteers had worked at Warwick alongside members of the United States Bethel family. In addition, some 750 construction workers who are not Jehovah’s Witnesses helped to keep the project on schedule. Working closely with Jehovah’s Witnesses made a deep and positive impression on many of those tradesmen.
Has anyone ever worked as a construction volunteer for a Jehovah's Witness project?
Who pays for hotel and food ( breakfast, lunch, dinner )?
Do you bring in your own equipment and tools?
Who provided insurance for injuries on the job?
What was the work schedule? Did it feel like'' spiritual paradise'' or just another project?

There are idiots out there that will work building these facilities and give money as well, the WTS heads (GB) know this or they wouldn't be pushing this agenda.
10 Then the slave drivers and the overseers went out and said to the building committee, “This is what Governing Body says: ‘I will not give you any more straw. 11 Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced at all.’” 12 So the people scattered all over Ramapo to gather stubble to use for straw. 13 The slave drivers kept pressing them, saying, “Complete the work required of you for each day, just as when you had straw.” 14 And Governing Body slave drivers beat the overseers they had appointed, demanding, “Why haven’t you met your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as before?”

LIVING AS CHRISTIANS
Can You Contribute Your Time and Energy?

Ramapo, New York. The property is located approximately two miles (3 km) from world headquarters in Warwick, New York. The goal is to begin construction in 2022 and complete it by December 2026. During the peak of construction, the project will require an estimated 1,500 volunteers per day.
WATCH THE VIDEO A NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IS BEING PLANNED—EXCERPT, AND THEN ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
- How can volunteers help with this project?... ( Prayers, support and a strong back )
- What evidence has there been that Jehovah is steering this project?... ( Jehovah already knows how this project will be completed )
- How can we support this project even if we are unable to help personally with construction?...( Show their thankfulness and zeal for Jehovah )
  How does Watchtower Society get donations to purchase property, convince thousands of volunteers to offer free labor for weeks or even months, and get this project that will have offices, housing, audio/ production facilities moving along?
  Convince the duped members that ''they'' are demanding more audio and video productions, along with Jehovah's blessing and his foresight to getting this project completed.
  For some reason, Jehovah is delaying Armageddon once again!

Remembering Kenneth Christensen

i remember ken back in 1959 when i was a freshly married 18 ½ year old.

according to his obit he was some 7 years older than me.

i don’t know how much earlier he had been appointed, but he was the marshalltown, ia, congregation servant (the presiding overseer) at a time when 25 year olds were rare.

We have no way of knowing the true feelings of those still in as they may reflect on those who've left the fold.
I agree. We really don't know what their true feelings are. They follow the strict orders of the Society.
On social media if a JW mentions an ex JW fondly, he probably would be chastised.
Here is what Anthony Morris told fellow members how he feels about those who have left the fold...
'' Especially these despicable apostates who at one point had dedicated their life to God''
'' how reassuring that they're finally going to be gone, all these despicable enemies''

Kenneth Christensen made an impression on you. Since he was so dedicated to the end, doesn't it bother you on the way these so-called loyal brothers treat members who either quit or get disfellowshipped? Why does he still live in your mind, but we don't live in theirs?

He's now telling the China man neru jackets and little caps are from Satan. To be a foollower (sic) everyone has to look the same.
LOL! I didn't pay attention to the last drawing, but ''unity'' in the ''new system'' must prevail!

Where is the school for the 144,000?

2. beliefs
the watchtower has many schools to teach their members on how to become more effective in various assignments in jehovah's organization.

they are trained to strengthen and help the congregations and branches around the world.

here is a list of some of the schools the society run:.

Welcome, Konagirl !
You stated:
it states the anointed are not to "bond" together. This is so hypocritical when we think of the elder body, whom we are told "represent the royal priesthood".
Great point! Every Jehovah's Witness member needs a ''bond'', but when it comes to the bonding between the ''Governing Body'' and the ''faithful and discreet slave,'' now that is frowned upon. The ''faithful and discreet slaves'' would cause ''divisions within the congregation and work against the holy spirit.'' No, actually the Governing Body make them go away, just as it is written in paragraph 8........

8 In addition, anointed Christians do not view themselves as being part of an elite club. They do not seek out others who claim to have the same calling, hoping to bond with them or endeavoring to form private groups for Bible study. (Gal. 1:15-17) Such efforts would cause divisions within the congregation and work against the holy spirit, which promotes peace and unity.—Read Romans 16:17, 18.

What Hope Is There for the Dead?
4. Who will return to life?
Many millions of people who are dead in the grave will return to life on earth. Even some who did not know God and who practiced bad things will be resurrected.—Read Luke 23:43; Acts 24:15.
Resurrected ones will be able to learn the truth about God and to exercise faith in Jesus by obeying him. (Revelation 20:11-13) Those who return to life and do good things will be able to enjoy life forever on earth.—Read John 5:28, 29.

Here is the Watchtower Society's progression of Pirate Black Beard after his resurrection. He is welcomed to ''paradise earth'' after hundreds of years sleeping in his tomb. Black Beard managed to shave his beard before his death, but somehow decided his long sideburns would stay.
He now has a Bible study to learn about God. ( He refuses to shave his sideburns)
Now, he is telling his whales and tales of his history of high seas adventures of looting, pillaging and burning of villages to Armaggedon survivors. ( He refuses to shave his sideburns )
Now, the former Black Beard is shown welcoming new resurrection survivors and teaching the truth about God. ( He finally understands about long sideburns, and how they stumble new members and decides to shave them off )
