Do you still or ever did confess your sins to God?

If I did I wouldn't quit talking to God.

I talk with God. But I know he already knows my sins. I might hash out my feelings about my mistakes. But one thing is for sure, I never have and never will be forced to discuss intimate details of my life with people who then are in charge of judging me. If I choose to talk with a close friend who won't judge me, but help me, that's a different matter. That is what God is like, a close friend who wants to help you, not judge you.

I once did, when I was a blinded JW, but now I no longer believe in the concept having to confess anything to God, or in the concept of sin so I don't pray for forgiveness of anything. When I pray it's only in gratitude for different things.

YTF would an all-knowing god need or want any body's confession?
I guess it's just a church's way to bribe or blackmail the members into "dontating" more money, time and resources.
Confession in a religious setting is something I regard as a scam and a waste of time.
Better to confess to a mental health pro than to a priest or elder.
At least the counselor is up front and not gonna' offer absolution for a price - just a chance to talk in privacy and sort things out.

I never confessed any sin when i was an JW or when i was out and i'd say i will never confess.Even though i may have committed JW sins when i was one. Never really worried about it nor felt guilty.
I look at it this way everything i have done i don't regard as a sin but just way of finding out how things are and how they work.
