Our software is not mandatory to use, but it complies with all up-to-date Governing Body directions. Bethel doesn't create a list of approved or forbidden software, similar to the principle outlined in our organization's stance on entertainment choices: "Our organization doesn’t review specific movies, books, or songs so as to rule on what individuals should avoid".
The usage of unofficial JW-related apps is subject to the choice of the body of elders of each congregation, considering local circumstances and organizational guidelines. Therefore, since there is no such thing as an "official list of theocratic apps approved by Bethel," the Organized app is unlikely to be officially authorized by the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses.
However, using Organized is not forbidden, as we strive to align the application, its security, and use cases with all the latest directions from the Governing Body. Moreover, many publishers serving both onsite and remotely for different Bethels worldwide are directly involved into development of the Organized application.
If you have any further questions or concerns, don't hesitate to learn more about the application on our GitHub repository or detailed written documentation. The app is open source, meaning all its operations are fully transparent, and everyone has the ability to check and prove that.
