Clearly, Jehovah's Witnesses do not absolutely require the corporate entities more formally known as "Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York" or "Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania". Any assertion to the contrary reflects a gross underestimate of Jehovah's Witnesses' global unity.

The fact remains that Christendom and other anti-Witnesses stubbornly refuse to engage in the preaching work that Christ Jesus commanded. Shockingly, these so-called "Christians" would rather expend energies, time, and resources to insult, demean, and slander true Christians rather than more appropriately using their energies, time, and resources to themselves spread Christ's "Good News".
(Matthew 24:48-51) If ever that evil slave should ... beat his fellow slaves..., the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites.
(2 Timothy 2:23-26) Turn down foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing they produce fights. But a slave of the Lord does not need to fight, but needs to be gentle toward all, qualified to teach, keeping himself restrained under evil, instructing with mildness those not favorably disposed; as perhaps God may give them repentance leading to an accurate knowledge of truth, and they may come back to their proper senses
(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
(Acts 5:42) From house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.
Clearly, the Almighty Sovereign of the Universe Jehovah God does not absolutely require any human or human instrument to accomplish his purposes (Luke 19:40). Yet millions of humble Christians have decided that He is doing so today.

It doesn't---IT says Jesus is the watchtower and the righteous can run to Him for safety---It is in Poverbs, I think chapter 4 I could be wrong...

I don't understand your question.
No where in the publications of Jehovah's Witnesses does it say that the publications are inspired.
Could you please clarify your question.
If I remember correctly the word watchtower comes from the book of Ezek. chapter 3
and Jehovah's people being "watchmen"

It dont... stay as far from The Watchtower bunch as you can... they are mostly a bunch of deceived individuals who don't know any better...but to follow their way is to move further from God and Salvation.
