I have had a gallon for 2+ years. Still seems good and a test sample dried correctly and appears to be strong. Is it ok to continue to use it and if so for how long?

Second question on Franklins Q&A is about shelf life. If I am doing a jig, or project where I don't mind so much, I'll use glue past it's date. If I have time and or $$$$ invested I'll only use glue less than 1 year old. I have had some "goofy" results trying to stretch that timeline.

Titebond original, I'm working on using some unopened pints that are 6-7 years old. Still good.
I've got a unopened gallon that's about the same age.

If it's not thick, and spreads evenly, I'd say it's good. If it's not thin and creamy, I wouldn't use if for anything important.

I had some that froze last winter in the shop. I thawed it out, cleaned the tip, shook it well, added a little water, shook it some more, let it sit for 24 hrs, then threw it out.
 Hey- It was only 7 bucks worth of security.

Franklin says that up to 5 freeze/thaw cycles will not adversely affect their product.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

So Fred you are working on an heirloom piece for a Grandkid, and you have a brand new fresh bottle, and that nasty looking stuff that just froze for the 4th year in a row. Whatcha gonna do? I'm with Daddo, except I'm taking the express route, and just gonna pitch ole Frosty Top.
