Inappropriate Public Confessions and Other Things

Part of my particular Christian tradition was attending an interdenominational Protestant college that had strong Methodist roots.

During Revivals, it was really great to see the Holy Spirit move in people's lives, to convict, and energize. It also stirred up naive kids to confess in public when confessing before a pastor, priest, or accountability partner would have been more appropriate. So to help a whole new generation of kids, please do NOT do the following:

1) Talk to a teacher about how you've hated him/her and how you've spread bad stories about that teacher all around school....and confess this in person.
2) Take a girl out and confess that you have been masturbating to her picture, talk about wet dreams you've had about her, or any other fantasies.
3) Talk about masturbating in general.
4) Talk about trolling for gay prostitutes late at night in a town nearby.
5) Talk about how God wants you to give up thinking about the opposite sex for the rest of the year and concentrate on God (this might not be bad, but in 100% of the cases I know about, the person broke this vow).

There are probably much worse things to confess, but the above are a good start to avoid.

In other news and embarrassing stories:

I had to Febreeze myself (spray all my clothes as I was wearing them) before church on Sunday morning because of the raucous poker night that went into the early morning.
