Watchtower Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Watchtower Society is the collective name for the legal instruments used by Jehovah's Witnesses to represent the organization in various juridical matters.
Watchtower Society has often been used synonymously with the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses, even in their own literature, such as in the book Worldwide Security Under the Prince of Peace (1986) OCLC 15485620. More recently, Jehovah's Witnesses want to be more clear about making a difference between the Watchtower Society and the organization. The legal instruments are not identical with the organization, they are rather corporations used by the organization.
