How are Jehovah?s Witnesses organized? In the first century, the Christian congregations in many lands benefited from a central governing body that recognized Jesus as the Head of the congregation. (Acts 16:4, 5) Similarly today, Jehovah?s Witnesses worldwide benefit from a Governing Body of experienced elders. It oversees branch offices of Jehovah?s Witnesses that translate, print, and distribute Bible-study material in over 600 languages. Thus the Governing Body can provide Scriptural encouragement and direction for over 100,000 congregations worldwide. In each congregation, qualified men serve as elders, or overseers. These men lovingly care for God?s flock.?Read 1 Peter 5:2, 3. Jehovah?s Witnesses are organized to preach the good news and make disciples. Like the apostles, we preach from house to house. (Acts 20:20) We also offer to study the Bible with sincere lovers of truth. But Jehovah?s Witnesses are not just an organization. We are a family with a loving Father. We are brothers and sisters who care for one another. (2 Thessalonians 1:3) Since Jehovah?s people are organized to please God and to help others, they form the happiest family on earth.?Read Psalm 33:12; Acts 20:35.
