Following recent communications, I have updated my WT Organization Chart.

Apart from making minor changes to the layout, I have amended the section dealing with the Local Congregation.
I will appreciate any help and advice, but when you make them please remember that I do have space limitations.

I've never heard of the worldwide order. Could you please explain that?
Worldwide Order??? Where did you get that? Can you provide proof?
Where you have "World Wide Order" I thought it should read "Special Order of Full Time Servants" -- unless the name has changed in the recent past.
Nice chart! Good to hand to JWs when the brag about the supposed lack of clergy/laity distinction. In fact, they have more levels than the Catholic church. ~Q

Nice work Doug Mason
A nice glimpse at the lofty "theocratic arrangement". As I look at this mind-numbing, labyrinthine organizational structure, I certainly don't see anything that resembles first-century Christianity. I instead see something that resembles a large government agency; like FEMA. But, maybe that is just my "fault-finding attitude" doing the talking.
Thanks for all your hard work Doug.
