Both are hazards. The way is not called the narrow way for nothing. If I have been pointing out the hazards of one way it doesn't mean there are not other hazards as well.
Right. There are errors with being too independent and there are errors with being too "groupy." There is a balance.

The LC tried to eliminate the independent side and put all their chips on the group side. That's an error.

The other error is to grow so suspicious of groups that you cannot cooperate with others to engage in the mission of the church and you (sadly) miss out on the family/relational/team aspect of the church.
