Why do Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Watchtower is God's organisation?

Jehovah's Witness do not believe that 'the Watchtower' is God's organization.The word Watchtower is just part of the name of the legal entity which Jehovah's Witnesses use so that they can legally engage in the publication and printing of Bible literature. We live in countries which have laws regarding property ownership, taxes and publication. In order to print materials, we need to purchase paper, ink, binding material, shipping boxes and vehicles. This all requires business transactions, and these transactions have to be carried out in keeping with prevailing law. At the level of publishing and printing that we engage in, the legal entity is necessary. We are known formally as 'Watchtower Bible & Tract Society' of NY, or Pennsylvania, or London, and there are many other branches. The word 'Watchtower' is also the name of one of our regular publications.Organizations are made up of people. The people then give themselves an identity based on the organization's founding principles and mission. Many people in religious organizations call themselves Christian, and within that broad category there are other groups that identify as Roman Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal, etc.The individuals who have formed the legal entity known as Watchtower Bible & Tract Society have given themselves the identity of 'Jehovah's Witnesses'.But the Jehovah's Witnesses don't dedicate themselves to The Watchtower or to any group of people. We dedicate ourselves directly to Jehovah God in private personal prayer. We are witnesses who belong to Jehovah God (Jehovah's Witnesses) and we dedicate ourselves to Him.We gather together in groups called congregations, a word also used by other Christian groups. Our main purpose for gathering in groups is to go out into the public, to witness. This takes some organization on our part. Certainly no one wants all the members of a congregation to come together as one group when visiting houses in the community. So we assign territories. This requires organization that involves the drawing of maps, charting group progress, and occasional reassignment in order to distribute tasks equitably. This is simply one example of how we organize in order to serve Jehovah, to bear witness to Jehovah's purposes and requirements for mankind.Of course we believe that we are God's organized people; that's why we call ourselves 'Jehovah's (God's) Witnesses'. Many other religions do similar things. They call themselves Christ's people, or Christians.
