I agree with that, Ros. People feel that internal reform can't work because there exists too much control in the organization, but this is just a roadblock that can be overcome. The freedom granted by the civil rights didn't come about from other nations or other sources forcing pressure on the US to change its policies. It happened right here in America from the people who live in it. There was an excessive amount of control, IMO, on what blacks could do yet they were able to bring about change from their own ranks.
All it takes is enough Witnesses who are interested in reform to provide a platform of support to effect change when the opportune time comes about.
