Answer #5

        If the wrongdoing is not reported, then Jehovah’s witnesses cannot ‘right the wrong’ by ‘removing the wicked one from among themselves’ and will not be able to say that they are ‘chaste’ in this matter before Jehovah. They cannot say that they have "cleared themselves" of sin. No, they cannot say that they are clean in God’s eyes but are a "fermented lump." (Galatians 5:9)
