Havent you read 1 Peter 4:20 where in detail the apostle commands the congregation to keep detailed records of illegal drug use and drunken bouts. It also states that publisher hours should be kept indefinitely as it is an indicator of a persons spiritual health.
Psalms 69:69 also talks about keeping records of sexual sins, even from decades prior. This scripture also indicates that elders should share this information with their busybody wives as it can be used as leverage in the field service car groups.
