It isn't easy considering that there are at least 50 of them. So I have to give them credit for that.

Sure they deserve credit for that but what you are really talking about are housekeeping details. None of them actually have a ministry they are all repeaters of another man's ministry. Once being repeaters of another man's ministry is agree upon as an organizing and I might add unifying principle then the minor details become incidental.
Also many of the key BB are on staff at LSM and would probably lose their jobs if they did cause any problems over the incidentals. And in deciding the details I'm sure Benson Phillips and Ron Kangas are the key decision makers. So in effect the BB do have a couple of "bosses" but their jobs are easy because the rest of the BB are so passively compliant.
If each of the 50 actually had ministries, wanted to publish, speak etc. then the BB would implode. It can't exist without Witness Lee and his ministry as the glue.
