Hi ,I'm new here but I've been looking in for a while.This thread sort of touched a nerve.I've been disfellowshiped for 20 years now and I still think back to the confesional part and am a bit disgusted.I am ashamed to admit that I lost my virginity in the Kingdom Hall. Confessing was weird because the Elders were pressing me for more and more detail to the point that it felt creepy.(one of the elders who disfelowshipped me was later arested for molesting his 12 year old daughter). It was only after I left the J.W's that I started to understand my own spirtuality.I really enjoy some of the insites that I have read on this site and am thankfull that there is a forum for those who have survived "the Truth".

34Did your spirituality improve after confessing to wrongdoing?
by jwfacts ini was reading this thread, http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/private/220730/1/had-my-jc-today-oh-sugar, and morbidzbaby mentioned their husband confessed to uncleaness because he did not feel he was getting blessed by jehovah.
however, blessings did not increase after the confession.. it made me wonder about the whole idea of confessing so that you do not loose jehovah's blessing.
when i was in bethel i confessed about a couple of menial things.
