Bible Student's C.T Russell gave 'organisation' the thumbs down!
by be wise inc. t. russell was against organizing his own religion, or at least he said so (see the watchtower, 1895 p.216; also 1894 p.384 & 1893 p.266).
"the endeavor to compel all men to think alike on all subjects, culminated in the great apostasy and the development of the great papal system, and thereby the gospel, the one faith that paul and the other apostles set forth, was lost - buried under the mass of uninspired decrees of popes and councils.
the unity of the early church, based upon the simple gospel and bound only by love, gave place to the bondage of the church of rome...each new reform movement (like protestantism) has made the failure of attempting to make a creed just large enough for its prime movers.
