Jesus plainly warned against submitting yourself to hypocrites. You're attempt to stifle this person only shows your partiality to wicked models of submission and authority.
This shepherding model is likely from John Bevere's unbiblical book "Under Cover."
It's an old trick by Satan, but he keeps rolling it out every generation to anyone who will embrace it.
The New Apostolic Reformation is wholly built upon this model of submission and authority, and it creates pyramid scheme ministries that built up into a larger pyramid scheme.
Stay away from them, as their manipulation and abuse wraps people in a delusion.
