Can't say as I agree with that.

We are independent, but are set up as an actual organization and have other churches and pastors ordained under our covering. However, my husband is accountable to men in his life, and he also has a deacon board at each church. Just because you don't belong to some organization that people recognize doesn't mean that you are loosey-goosey and have no one speaking into your life. I do know some pastors like this, who totally rule the roost, but they are not the majority.
