The Governing Body is made
up of brothers who are anointed servants of Jehovah
God. They act as representatives of the “faithful and discreet
slave” class which has the responsibility for giving
direction and impetus to the Kingdom work. (Matt. 24:45)
While the Governing Body delegates certain details or
responsibilities to committees made up of its own members,
or committees made up of other dedicated servants
of God, or to instruments such as corporations and
legal agencies, it always takes the lead for the smooth
functioning of the organization and the unity of all of
God’s people. As the Governing Body, it has the prerogative
to use its discretion and look into any matters it
deems necessary to examine with regard to the Kingdom
work. To oversee various aspects of the work,
committees have been established as follows.
