And for non-JW religions, the pecking order usually only applies to Ministers/employees of the religion or denomination. i.e. An Anglican bishop has authority over an Anglican Vicar, however he has no authority over Rank & File Anglicans. This is not the case with JWs.

In the case involving the cong. in Menlo Park, Ca., the WT attorney, Mr. Rouse, said this on page 4 of the court transcripts:
" I am general counsel of the National Organization of Jehovah's Witnesses out of Brooklyn, New York...this is one of our 13,000 congregations in the United States. We are a hierarchal religion structured just like the Catholic Church. And when the order from the Pope comes down in the Church defrocking a priest and kicking him out, he no longer has any say in any matter of the parish".

Chickens have ruthless pecking orders and a sheep's ultimate fate is to be sheared, butchered, cooked, and eaten...
...but dogs are loyal, intelligent, vigilant, and love their families unconditionally.
Guess which animals the WTS heirarchy - by its by actions or words - assigns more value to?
