:confused: I've Screwed Up Confession Site.

Are churches becoming lazy....they are now taking confesssions on-line and POSTING THEM!!!!

Here are snips from several of the confessions posted...

My cousin and I use to do sexual things as young girls....

I am struggling with self harming...

Recently after an office party I drove one of women i work with home .... we decided to park somewhere quite and I proceeded to have sex ...

I started having sex at 13

Well, thats a different way to do it...
Florida must be an awfully perverted state. Everyone that confesses is living there..

Thats the first church I've seen that ask the question, what do we do when we're screwed up?

Well, it's nice to know that Bill Clinton is finally willing to confess to somebody.

:rolleyes:

This was on CNN last night... interesting...the need to confess

The catholics actually stole it from a pagan group and it was orginally designed to blackmail people. The preist for a long time were allowed to see who was confessing to them then they would use that information against them to make them do thier will.

Hm, an interesting supposition. Can you give a link to that please?

I dont recall anything reporting this claim.
There is something that comes a little close around the 1600's but there was no blackmail involved.
Knowing how Frogger dislikes you, I'd say he would let you hang yourself with this information.
Sense I want to see him do it, I think this is all I'll say.

According to theologian Robert Lockwood, the pagan confessions that warrior refers to are more connected with the cruelties of the Inquisitions than to the Christian act of contrition. The papal inquisitors routinely tortured people for heresy, and then used the 'confessions' that resulted from the torture to stand as evidence of the heresy.


"The two heresies of the 12th and early 13th centuries that gave birth to the medieval inquisition were that of the Cathars (or Albigensians) and the Waldensians. The Cathars essentially held that the “evil god” of the Old Testament created the material world and saw the Church as the instrument of that material world. The Waldensians preached against wealth, clericalism and rejected the sacramental nature of the Church. Both these movements coalesced to a certain degree, and would become somewhat popular in Southern France, Northern Italy and parts of Germany. (Protestant reformers in the 16th Century would often point to these movements as part of an alleged “silent” Church that existed since the Apostolic Age, as Kaifetz suggests. In reality, the Cathars and the Waldensians had a decidedly non-Christian “dualistic” perception of God, the source of which was essentially pagan philosophy. Their views were unique to the times and would have horrified the 16th century Protestant Reformers.)"

Cool, thanks Sparky. I often forget about the Inquisition.

I sent in "confessions" for bestiality, arson (a church), mass theft (stealing the congregation's donations), and masturbating on the family Bible.

I hope they post them. Hah :D

Thanks Sparkster, An interesting read.

Wow.

This was on CNN last night... interesting...the need to confess

I saw it on CNN also. When I 1st checked out this site, most of the confessions were from Florida. Now when you page down, there are confessions from all over the world. I wonder if this is because of what CNN aired about them???

Thank you for posting this confession site. I think I'll go there now and confess to something really horrific to curl the hairs of the creators of this, most amusing website! Thanks again. The web is a wonderful, wild, wacky world indeed!
