² Observed by Others: Today, those acquainted with construction methods are greatly impressed with what Jehovah’s Witnesses are accomplishing in erecting quickly built Kingdom Halls. For example, in one area a local newspaper commented: “It was an invasion of the Jehovah[’s] Witness Volunteer labor force who came for the three-​day ‘Kingdom Hall Building Project,’ and a three-​day project it was. . . . In three days the Kingdom Hall Building Committee had come and gone, but what they accomplished will long be remembered.”

³ Another newspaper observed: “You haven’t seen a pile of brick and lumber become a building until you’ve watched a group of Jehovah[’s] Witnesses swing a hammer. Before your very eyes, a building constructed by the Witnesses goes from a simple concrete slab to studded walls, room partitions and a roof in less time than it would take a couple of ordinary carpenters to get their supplies and tools together.”

⁴ In Montana, where someone likened the project to a barn raising, a reporter observed: “Barn raising? Maybe​—but barn raising elevated to the precision of a moon mission launch and the efficiency of an Indianapolis 500 pit-​stop crew.”

It is as the headlines of one newspaper stated, “Many hands make for light work.”

⁷ One newspaper openly admitted: “Jehovah’s Witnesses’ success in the ‘quick build’ of their places of worship is found not only in cooperation, but dedication.”
