The Elder Manual Behind Jehovah’s Witness Discipline

Send us Fan MailJehovah’s Witnesses are told to trust the elders. But most Witnesses have never seen the manual elders use behind closed doors.In this video, JT, a former Jehovah’s Witness elder, discusses Shepherd the Flock of God — the confidential elders’ manual used when judicial matters, discipline, accusations, and congregation decisions are being handled.This is not just about a book.It is about what happens when ordinary men are placed in positions of authority over people’s lives, reputations, families, friendships, and standing in the congregation — while the people most affected are not allowed to see the rules being used.We also discuss why serious accusations and possible crimes should never be handled through a religious chain of command. Real crimes belong in the hands of proper authorities — not in a back room with three elders and a confidential handbook.Topics covered:Jehovah’s Witness eldersShepherd the Flock of God bookJudicial committeesDisfellowshippingReligious controlWatchtower secrecyWhy proper authorities should be contacted when crimes may be involvedJoin us behind the scenes on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/exjwcriticalthinker Support the show
