SIMPLE and easy way to prove Jehovah's Witnesses are a dishonest organization
Most
Jehovah's Witnesses do not realize that their elders secret manual
instructs the elders to deny people their rights to record their own
conversations and interactions with the elders. This includes judicial
meetings and so-called shepherding calls.
Elders have even been
warned at their elder training classes that if they allow themselves to
be recorded the watchtower Society will not defend him in court if they
are sued.
Elders fear being recorded because they do not want to
be held accountable and responsible for their words and actions. No
elder has ever given me a cogent reason for refusing people their rights
to record interactions with elders.
What this creates is a
unfair power balance between the elders and anyone they are talking to
or judicially dealing with. If there is any doubt over what transpired
during a interaction the elders have each other as witnesses to what
happened and what was said. The unfair advantage occurs when the
congregation members or the one being judged wishes to have a witness
for themselves of what occurred.
Many people have dealt with elders that straight out lie or dishonestly twist what happened and what was said.
This
also creates a secrecy barrier that hides elders transgressions,
crimes, and violations of people's rights, both under the Jehovah's
Witness rules and the rules of civil law .
One elder recently
inanely spouted to me that the reason they don't allow recording is for
confidentiality. I responded that there is no confidentiality involved
because it's the person at the meeting was recording their own
conversation so obviously they know what transpired.
Elders in
the past were self-assured that any outlandish conduct or words would be
hidden and kept secret from anyone outside the meeting. This is no
longer true.
This policy and procedure of not allowing
congregation members to have their own record and witness of what occurs
when they deal with Jehovah's Witness elders is a policy in place and
relied on for decades by the Jehovah's Witness hierarchy including the
governing body to hide their conduct. To protect them from criminal
prosecution, civil suit and being reported to their higher-ups in the
Jehovah's Witnesses power structure.
This is a dishonest policy
and highlights and exposes that the entire Jehovah's Witness power
structure including especially the governing body are seriously
concerned only with protecting themselves and avoiding responsibility
rather than any kind of honest biblical justice.
This policy also
exposes the Jehovah's Witnesses as a secret organization that relies on
covering over sometimes outrageous and criminal conduct. Which they
hypocritically have decried as something only a false religion would do.
