I thought of this verse, James 5:16 "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed." I believe that asking someone to pray for a fault that you have is very biblical, although not something I've done before on a public forum.
Yet, I'll be brave, and confess something the Lord is helping me with...
I don't like confrontation, and avoid it usually at any cost. I've always been called the "peacemaker" in my family... But I've come to realize through situations we've been through, that saying nothing is like agreeing with what is happening. It is hard to turn around and go against the tide and stand for what is right, but with the Lord's help, I am getting much better equipped for this kind of journey.

However still I have a special distrust for Oneness pastors.

I know some good ones, but also some bad ones.
Don't blame you.

I know exactly what you are talking about. And I think it is true, especially for women. We just have to do it for the right reasons and when the time is right!!

Re: Confessions
I don't publicly confess a fault anymore.
It seems that any time I have ever done so, it was used against me to hurt or disparage me.

Re: Confessions
I only confess privately to those people I think are trustworthy.
