Structuur -structure

This is a translation of the justification for the Dutch keyword "structuur" = English "structure", the fundamental, if intangible, notion referring to the recognition, observation, nature, and stability of patterns and relationships of entities. The structure can bring forth the System (from Latin systēma, in turn from Greek σύστημα systēma, "whole compounded of several parts or members, system", literary "composition") is a set of interacting or interdependent system components forming an integrated whole.

In the original article I go into the ethymological sense of the word and give several synonyms or other words of which there is no translation found for an English equivalent. Those words are placed between {}brackets . (Perhaps I should purchase me some etymological dictionaries)

Under the 'tag' or wordindicator or the key word "structuur" ="structure", you will be able to find articles over the structure of something, here in particular of a belief municipality.  It will go over the manner or the act of putting together something which is constructed completely in itself decided unity put together or been built up by together composed elements or by the arrangement of parts. 
It mainly shall handle the manner of organisation and the organic form.

One will find there discussions over the structure, superstructure, the section, all earthly things or worldly of an organization.  It also will go over the order, construction or architecture of the association, group or community, in particular it will be going over the rules or order round a realisation or to come to an organization  so to rule moderation or ordering can be become arranged .

The structure will there for see to that something is regulated and in order so that it can stand on its own legs and be as ( or remain).

The structure is what can give a hold  for the members.  Also it can give example to build or construct something on or to form a security on.  As the first Christians could count on the example of the Roman structure of assemblies and make a same system to gather and to organise meetings for their working of the belief community and so the ecclesia became the used assembly form for their gatherings.

To be able to come to that fixed form one must be able to organize, bring in order,{ in esse brengen (houden)}=(?) 'bring (hold) in ash' , {ordonneren} ordain or put in decrees, put order on affairs, bring in the clean, bring something on the manner or put (set) on its legs.

A visible organisation on earth

Here are a few quotes of Morton Edgar from “Gleanings from Glasgow”, most which statements were made in 1928/1929 or shortly thereafter:

Quote

The word “organisation” does not occur in the Bible, and its use is apt to mislead. The Scriptural word is “kingdom”; and our Lord distinctly said that “the kingdom of God cometh not with observation”—with outward show—Luke 17:20. Therefore there is no “visible organisation of God on earth,” as is claimed by some to their undoing.

How often Brother Russell warned us against this very thing, and how foolish we shall be if we do not heed his warning. We shall indeed be foolish if we claim that “only through our system or organisation will the heavenly Father accept praise and service”; for this would make it appear necessary for every spirit-begotten child of God to “bow the knee” to the few who have constituted themselves heads of the organisation. The apostle shows that it is only the carnal, fleshly mind that is deceived by such unscriptural claims—1 Cor. 3:1-6, 18-23.

Quote

I for one entirely repudiate this talk of “God’s visible organization on earth” during this Gospel Age. It is dangerous talk, and gives rise to all kinds of persecutions and ungodly claims, as anyone who has consecrated reasoning powers can see. We have the whole history of that great “whore,” the Apostate Church during the Gospel Age, to warn us against making any such claim as being God’s visible organization on earth. If Judge Rutherford is not able to read the lesson, then he has become blind. If there was one thing that our dear Brother Russell warned us against, more strongly than any other, it was this very thing. Brother Russell never made any such claim for the “Society” when he was here in the flesh and amongst us, for he knew better. But Judge Rutherford, apparently, does not know enough to keep himself clear of it. In the very first chapter of the first volume of “Studies,” Brother Russell speaks of this “false idea that the nominal church, in its present condition, is the sole agency” for the recovery of the world from sin.

"Hence it is that we sometimes see an honest, truth-hungry child of God gradually progressing from one denomination to another, as a child passes from class to class in a school. If he be in the Church of Rome, when his eyes are opened, he gets out of it, probably falling into some branch of the Methodist or Presbyterian systems. If here his desire for truth be not entirely quenched and his spiritual senses stupefied with the spirit of the world, you may a few years after find him in some of the branches of the Baptist system; and, if he still continues to grow in grace and knowledge and love of truth, and into an appreciation of the liberty wherewith Christ makes free, you may by and by find him outside of all human organizations, joined merely to the Lord and to his saints, bound only by the tender but strong ties of love and truth, like the early Church. 1 Cor. 6:15,17; Eph. 4:15,16 The feeling of uneasiness and insecurity, if not bound by the chains of some sect, is general. It is begotten of the false idea, first promulgated by Papacy, that membership in an earthly organization is essential, pleasing to the Lord and necessary to everlasting life." Volume 3 p186
