This page groups religious orders by how they recognize a member as a minister. Wikipedia notes that Jehovah's Witnesses "consider an adherent's qualified baptism to constitute his ordination as a minister," a very different practice from a seminary ordination. Browsing this way lets a visitor compare how differently orders mark someone as formally set apart for ministry.
