12. Our organization. We are organized into congregations, each of which is overseen by a body of elders. However, the elders do not form a clergy class, and they are unsalaried. (Matthew 10:8; 23:8) We do not practice tithing, and no collections are ever taken at our meetings. (2 Corinthians 9:7) All our activities are supported by anonymous donations.
The Governing Body, a small group of mature Christians who serve at our world headquarter, provides direction for Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide - MATTHEW 24:45.
13. Our unity. We are globally united in our beliefs. (1 Corinthians 1:10) We also work hard to have no social, ethnic, or class divisions. (Acts 10:34, 35; Jamese 2:4) Our unity all0ows for personal choice, though. Each Witness makes decisions in harmony with his or her own Bible -trained conscience. - ROMANS 14:1-4; HEBREWS 5:14.
