Organization is not a bad thing if youare organized under the right people with the right goals. Nature is organized, follows laws, has patterns. It is an efficient way to do things. If we all had to invent the wheel for ourself, we would all still be cavemen, it is not a bad thing to learn from others, and that is what organizations allow people to do, learn from one another, and work together. It is more efficient, and you get more done working together than isolating yourself. When you think of the greatest commandment, to love one another, this is not something you can accomplish living like a hermit – you have to be around others, work with others, to love one another. To be willing to be part of a group, to admit that some know more than you – I guess some people are too prideful to admit that others know things that they do not know, pride makes you think you can do everything on your own, that you have no need to rely on other people to help you… if you refuse to learn from other people, you will not learn very much. Those who advance the farthest are those who are humble and teachable…
Num 27:16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
A few more scriptures showing that the Bible supports organization with Jesus as the head of the church, then other offices such as apostles, prophets, priests, deacons, elders, bishops, etc… grouping people into specific roles rather than just leaving everyone to their own devices to try and figure things out for themselves…

Your testimony is your own, your relashonshiop with God is your own - but as you are able to grow closer to the people around you - this is how you grow closer to God...
For inasmuch as ye do it unto the least of these, ye do it unto me.
If you are unable to appreciate joining together with the rest of humanity, you will be unable to dwell with God, because His goal is to unite everyone to everyone else... I think He uses apostles and prophets to allow others the joy of teaching and growing together, He does not want to step between us, so He steps back and tries to get us to rely on one another
