Had to add this just read the next to last paragraph
17 Confess and stop secret sins. Some Christians who have committed a serious sin have tried to keep it secret. Perhaps they are embarrassed or do not want to disappoint others. (Proverbs 28:13) But hiding the sin is unloving because it harms both the sinner and others. How? Jehovah might stop blessing the congregation with his holy spirit, and the congregation would not have peace. (Ephesians 4:30) So if a Christian commits a serious sin, genuine love will motivate him to speak to the elders and get the help he needs.—James 5:14, 15.
Okay so how many congregations have had secret pedophiles in positions of authority who carried on their sick practices for years and years in secret, did Jehovah stop blessing the congregations with his Holy Spirit then ?Hundreds of congs have had this type of thing going on along with other secret goings on and yet nothing happens, nothing is revealed it just shows what a load of bullcrap this is !!
