LIST of over 100 WTS Corps! (Surprises!)

Amazing

SOME OF THESE WILL SURPRISE YOU: I have captured nearly all Watchtower Society corporations in the United States. I have placed those of greatest interest at the top. I have Bolded those that are unique. But, those following are still of importance. I also have access to the financial reports of many of the more important ones. I will publish that list in a separate post soon. I have an additional list of about 40 to 50 other Watchtower corporations, and will compared these to weed out duplicates, then post a Revised Edition. Yes, there are more US based Watchtower corporations beside the over 100 named below.

PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT NOTE: All of these are separately “registered” Watchtower corporations and “not” local congregations, and have “slightly different name” designations. When a corporation registers with a state, their corporate name must be EXACT ... and any slight changes, SUCH AS ABBREVIATIONS, MISPELLINGS, CAPITALIZATIONS, PERIODS, AND COMMAS ARE IMPORTANT and are made part of that exact corporate name. There is a legal purpose for this. Many of these “at the end” show up as Kingdom Halls, but that is because they use a Kingdom Hall for a Branch or Special operation. When a Congregation or Kingdom Hall is named as “DBA” it is being used by the Watchtower Society for additional purposes, such as Conventions, distribution centers or other legal needs. Otherwise, the Society does not normally have any direct connection with local congregations, except through the new organization called Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

It has taken me a long time to compile this. It is still growing. It may be shared with any lawyer that is involved in lawsuit against the Watchtower Society so that they can more quickly get the court to make Citations of Discovery of Assets:

Mindchild

Holy Cow...lots of work there Amazing. Looks like hte WTS lawyers stay busy just making corporations. I wonder why the heck they do this. Is it for taxes or to protect themselves from liability? I know that some businesses do multiple corporations to protect themsleves from lawsuits. Hotel and motel chains do this for instance in case someone gets seriously injured or harmed because of their negligence. The victim can then only sue that corporation....am I warm?

Skipper

Amazing

Hi Mindchild: You are partly correct. As a corporation grows, their headquarters will create subsidaries. The Main Corp will act as the "Holding" company, and this has traditionally acted as a shield, as they run the Sub-Corp on starvation budgets. But more recent legislation and case law have penetrated such.

The other reason is that most states require that a corporation register in their state if they do business and own assets or real property. So, if the Society has a Distribution Warehouse, they will register it as a corporation.

What I am looking for are all the derivation. Such as the Patterson site or the Watchtower Bible and Clergy. Also, this can be useful to lawyers in litigation to know where the assets are.

I heard all congs. with property (halls) were required by the WT to get Inc.’d with the WT. The story went that some congregation had da’d itself from the WT and made off with the Kingdom Hall. In our area this was done by a WT appointed notary and all the elders were required to sign over the halls.

Amazing

Hi Wheel: The Bonham, Texas case in the 1980s is the case that led to the Society changing from a "Congregational" to a "Heirarchial" church government. As a result, the Watchtower Society is now placed on Kingdom Hall Trust Deeds as Beneficiary in event of the demise of the congregation.

The above list, however, does "not" address the approximate 11,500 JW congregations in the USA (or over 6,000 Kingdom Hall facilities). It is a list of about 100 WTS Corporations, some of which use local Kingdom Halls as their corporate address.

Amazing

Hi Avalon: Legally, in the United States, Corporations are "persons" ... that is their legal designation. Therefore, the various Corporations of the Watch Tower Soceity owns these assets.

As we know, they claim that all belongs to Jehovah. Legally, Jehovah does not hold a single share of stock in the Watch Tower Society. The last I recall, they have a closed stock corporation of about 500 share holders. However, these shareholders have few if any rights, so that if any one gets DF'd or dies, the value of the stock goes back to the Society.

The Society has an annual meeting of shareholders, or proxy representatives. This is a formal "rubber-Stamp" meeting where they vote on some measures placed before them by the WTS Corp. Officers. When CT Russell started the Society, holding shares meant something. But today, it is there simply to meet various state requirements for corporations.

Most major corporations don't have this many sub-corporations! It seems to me that the only time I read about this many sub-corporations is when a company has been caught laundering money....

Amazing

Hi Puppy: Sometimes large corporations do have this many sub-corporations. Large retail chains, for example Wal Mart, Target, K-Mart, Sears, JC Penney have many stores in every state. It often makes sense to have each store, or maybe a group of stores in a local region under their own corporate banner.

I would not say that money laundering is involved. But, where the money comes from and where it goes has a lot to do with laundering. Certainly, as a religion, and having so many corporations, the Society could, if they wanted to, launder money, hide money, and play a real moving-shell game.

Amazing

Just thought some of you who did not see this might enjoy reading it. Please add to the list if you know of any WTS corporations not listed here. And here are some additional Corporate Business special information addressest:

I now have access to the "complete or partially complete" reports on the Society's businesses, suppliers, credit, and background of the following Watchtower related corporations. Some of these seem like duplicates, but they "may" represent various operations and subsidiaries, such as printing factories, or shipping operations. Some of them, I do not yet know what their specific purpose is. Eventually, I will combine everything into a single comprehensive list with addresses, etc. The Watchtower Society has so many corporations that it is hard to track it all. If there is a need for a report, I will have to make arrangements privately, and ask for reimbursement:
