I remember when our cong. incorporated. At the time the story was that a group of apostates had taken over a congregation and made off with the WT?s Kingdom Hall. Seems the local brother's believe their hall, built with their contributions, belongs to them, but the WT considers the hall THEIRS. The society had the corporations set up to make sure no other hall?s were ripped off by evil apostates. At least that was the story we were told. In our area only congs. that owned halls were asked to incorporate, a JW attorney made up the papers and everyone signed on the dotted line. I recall phoning the out-of-town lawyer to ask how the signatures could be witnessed long-distance and he replied- ? We?re all brothers here - sign the paper?.
