We, as elders, would every so often give a little talk about keeping the congregation clean and that if anyone felt the need to talk to us, to get whatever is bothering them off their chest, we would be readily available to them. You'd be shocked to see how many would tell us some naughty things they were feeling guilty about.
I'm sure there were plenty of smart people who simply kept quiet and didn't say a word.
Here's your opportunity to tell us what you wouldn't tell them.
Hell, I had the elders on my ass constantly about all sorts of stupidity. The last thing I needed was to turn up the heat by volunteering information about my "secret sins", of which there were plenty.

Well I don't count cuz I was never dipped but my mother (dipped) has been playing the California Lotto ever since it's inception in 1984. And I'm quite sure she's never exposed that little secret to the elders.
Her worst nightmare: winning!
Oh yes.
I was constantly intimate with a former non-Witness girlfriend of mine who I was "bringing into the 'truth.'" I would often spend the night at her place and she at mine (though at my place we had to keep one eye out for family members walking in).
Unbelievably, we never went all the way as I had a great deal of self-control. I could kick myself now!
I didn't return a nice block of cheese that turned up in my groceries.
It made the best na-noni-deez (as my almost-two-year-old g'son called it) ever!
LOL.

Imagine going to the elders for that, Syl.
Shame on you Sylvia! lol You are so sweet. If that's all you ever kept secret then I think you are ok. As for me, well I'm not saying!!
No really, I guess if one of the elders asked if I had ever visited a site like this fun place I'd keep it a secret!
Imagine going to the elders for that, Syl.
Hey! I knew some who went for keeping extra change from the vending machine!
We were an indoctrinated lot.

*chuckle*
I think you're right Mini. Mother once told us that if she ever won the jackpot that we were to stand in her stead since none of us have been dipped. Funny to know that she has a contingency plan.
