Jehovah’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 elders
Shepherd the Flock of God book
