I am thinking the confession would be to the person you have harmed by your action. Jesus said at Matt 5:23,24 that if you are taking your gift to the alter and remember someone has something against you ( so you sinned against them???) to go and make peace with your brother. In the case adultery, the mate may not realize they have been cheated upon...they have the right to know ( so I am thinking if people have the right to know, they should be told. This thing of confessing to the priest or 3 elders for judgement doesn't make sense. Confess to the ones you need forgiveness from ( which would include God )who can really forgive. That is my opinion.

Should you confess your sins?
by Fisherman inconfessing to a crime lands a person in jail or worse.
there is a very interesting out of context commentary in a law book under the topic that describes the role of a child advocate that explains how humans intrinsically want and need to be free at all costs without encumbrances.
(in germany for example, the government recognizes this basic need and doesn't penalize jail escapes.

some zealous new person must have moved in to the old congregation recently. I got letters today and a brochure. The return address had a last name ( no name I knew in the congregation-and they for sure never heard of me!) and the KH address. Inside the letter, they were lamenting how they had to reach out to me this way, because they couldn't in person. I thought, if you were sincere about wanting to meet in person, you would have put in a phone number, etc. Now here is the kicker-this person is as I mentioned zeolous ( or absent minded ) -I got not one, but two letters just alike! in separate envelopes. So this were cheat sheets, printed out, but she did sign: barbara. The same handwriting on the envelope. You would have thought she would have caught the fact that she sent me the same info twice! If I weren't so brain dead, I would send her back a letter in care of that return address---that would make her day! Actually, I feel sorry for her.

Sea Breeze- Acts 2:32 says God resurrected Jesus. ( i will believe that over what you wrote ) Jesus knew his disciples would be provided for by others at THAT time, so sent them without money. Jesus explained death when he likened Lazarus to being asleep.( so that agrees with being unconscious) ( maybe you know everything that goes on around you when you are asleep-) Why is there going to be a resurrection day if people aren't really dead? We only need so much money for our everyday affairs-some are just greedy and evil and want to rule over others.( take note of Davos!) Daddy said not to confuse people with facts when their mind is made up...I will apply that to you and you can feel free to apply that to me. If this life IS NOT all there is, then we will learn what is really facts.

the-mad JW-the video I posted by the Jewish Scholar about how people get it wrong about God is interesting in that we look to understand God from a human reference point. He isn't the same as us. Check out 1 Cor 2:14 and some references.

punkofnice--in your case, I think you need to PROVE that God does NOT exist. I posted a video recently by a Jewish scholar that made some interesting points. For those who accept that there is a higher power out there and a creator, it seems reasonable to have a "written" shall we say instruction. ( that is what human creators do-they write usage manuals.) I believe the Bible is such...mainly because of how I see the world shaping up-The Bible speaking of the mark of the beast where in you must have it or you can't buy or sell- do people not see what the puppeteers of this world are trying to pull off. Watch any clips from the WEF at Davos recently? They hope to put tracking in everyone's body with vaccines, or put chips in everyone's brain. The powers that be are causing a food crisis. The planet is being ruined. I could go on....

In thinking of "all" or "everyone" to be taken literally: My conclusion is if one accepts that all has sinned, then when Jesus says his blood is for the forgiveness of sin for all, then I take that to be literal as well.

Ec 10:19 is where it says money is the answer for everything, or as some translated " buys everything you need.", but Ex 7:12 shows the advantage of wisdom over money.

they are complicit in the deaths and injuries of 1000's. I hope more wake up and get out! I watched where Elon Musk had to take boosters to go into Germany and he is speaking out saying it almost killed him and gave a relative of his myocarditis. Some videos I watched , they played down myocarditis and others were claiming the damage to the heart made for an early death...there was a range of years, but I can't remember. Their out is going to be, we told people it was a personal decision.

money is the answer for everything is in contrast to wisdom. Wisdom can save your life where money can't. If the dead are conscious, then Satan told the truth and you never die-no worries, right?

Active JWs making 'bad' movies
by neat blue dog inanybody seen the made for streaming movies "the stepmother" 1 & 2?
-- written and directed by chris stokes & co-written and starring marquis houston, both of whom are active jws, posting about going door to door preaching, putting jehovah first, yada yada.
and yet the movies have bloody violence, simulated rape, the female costar's chest hanging out the whole time & marquis even kisses her in the film even though he's married to a jw in real life (who's 19 years younger and came of age just in time to marry him).
