I was going to say the same about you!

I read them again. I still don't get it. Yes, United is an organization. Yes, I associate with United. Yes United has a corporate charter. But actually my local congregation is incorporated on it's own separate and apart from United. I am an officer of our local board and we choose to associate ourselves with United. Many United congregations operate in this same fashion.
But all that is just "business" if you will. I am first and foremost a member of the body of Christ, the same body of Christ that Peter, Paul, Luke and John were members of. Christ is the only place where my allegience is. If you doubt that then there's not much more left to say about the subject.
