I don't think there's any question that many, many people do in fact "need" the organization for extremely basic reasons such as fellowship, commonality, reliability, easily accessible support, and aspirational goals and achievements. This is an elementary factor in what constitutes and maintains human social structures.

That's why I'm not so critical of guys like Stafford and Friend, and even Rick. I think they're wrong about much, and I think quite often they don't reflect the real identity of some JW communities. But they aren't evil, despotic cohorts in some wargame against all humanity who don't adhere to JWism. They do need the organization. We all need some organization or grouping.

Hopefully, someday the larger JW community will appreciate that some human beings, Christian or not, do not need the organization [any longer], and for benign and understandable reasons. Greg, Rick and Friend do appreciate that, which is why I appreciate them. If only Brooklyn would follow suit.
