When Was The Last Time You went to Confession..

LoanShark

Hi,

Before I ask this question I'm not looking for a moral/ethical debate.. just a Simple Answer..

I was watching King Of Queens on TV the last day and Doug went to confession,When the Priest Asked him "When was your last confession?"
He muttered an Answer....

But It made me think 'When Was my last Confession?

I know that I have'nt been in the last three years,and I think that maybe, I have'nt been for possibly three before that.. So its Six Years Since My last Confession...I have no reason for not going other than I'm completely lazy and just don't go..I'm not proud or bragging or anything like that..

SO

When Was The Last Time You Were at Confession?

What's confession?

I bought some indulgences off eBay so I'm set for life afterlife. :pac:

I was forced to go once in school when I was about 6. I can remember I couldn't think of anything to confess, so had to make something up.

My one and only time. Bizarre practice altogether.

2000 years ago. John the Baptist was a right bastard towards me!

It's where you can get really really close to a priest yet still feel safe due to the wood and mesh window that lies between you.

I heard Snyper tried to go to confession but he couldn't cross the threshold of the church. True story.

Ruen

One and only time before I made my communion, don't intend on ever going in future either

Christ I remember these. Stuttering your way through a load of general non specific sh1te

Age 7: eh....just....eh, like....eh.....beatin up my cousin....eh....not eatin my dinner....eh, fightin wit my mammy......eh., tellin fibs, talkin in class......eh

Age 17: Drinking, lying to your parents and a load of other sh1t you werent really sorry for.

Im not a bit religious but when I was 17 and the school forced us to go every 3 or 4 months I half considered owning up to a bit of jiggery pokery that had happened in a church car park one particularly freezing and drunken winter night-morning.

In the end I didnt mention it :P If God can see all, he knows already and has already made up his mind


As for the OP, aye, 17. tbh since the end of school mass havent been in a church bar weddings, christenings and funerals (none in six years then two funerals this year. **** I hate going to them )

Delirium

6th class in national school, so about 17 years.

Fratton Fred

Never.

sam34

Some time in primary school I believe..... had the option again in secondary school a few times but declined.

ShooterSF

Ah yes being a kid making up stuff. Remember getting stomach pains worrying I'd forget the prayers or routine when you go in. How naive

Wouldn't it be kind of cool to go in and confess being a serial killer or something and when they inevitably tell you you need to come clean to the guards say you cant do it. Accept that they can't forgive it. Come out light a candle and sit in the chapel alone letting him get a look at your face.

Sit at the front for the next masses. Hand people business cards infront of the priest after mass and give him a wicked smile

....way too much time on my hands.

Tzetze

~24 years ago.

I don't ever remember going

Havermeyer

I don't know tbh, but it's been a long long time anyway.

Galvasean

It was in primary school at some point. Either Confirmation or even Communion..
Not that I care.

Simply Red

I think we were brought just before our confirmation in 6th class, so about 7 years ago

Toto Wolfcastle

When I was in secondary school, so probably about 6 years ago. It's possible that I went once in the last 4 years though, but I don't remember.

MooseJam

18 years ago, never again

AtomicHorror

Twelve years ago. I had nothing I wanted to share with a strange old man tbh.

Toto Wolfcastle

I always thought it was a bit strange that after you confessed you were made say a few prayers. To a child that is going to seem like praying is a form of punishment, and they wont want to do it.

Silly priests.

Overheal

We were at the school mass confessions and I would never go up by I talked my friend into going up and:

"well father..."
*pats priest on the leg*
"I think I'm gay."

HalloweenJack

I was about 8 or 9 so that's about 11 or 12 years ago.

Can't remember what I said.

Run_to_da_hills

At least 20 Years ago. Tell them Nothing, particularly from an establishment with such a diabolical track record of hypocrisy and scandal.

If I want to ask God for forgiveness I don't need any middleman.

Twee.

Before confirmation, so about six years ago. I don't intend on ever going again.

I think most people in my class did that. "Er, I fought with my sisters, I disobeyed my parents...erm..."

Kinklee

was last friday night when I was arrested for wearing the loudest shirt in a quiet neighborhood. They beat it out of me I swear.

As for the gist of the original question its been 32 years since I was last sorry for something I did so its about 40 years.

Alessandra

2-3years ago maybe. More to keep the parents on side than anything. The remotely "sinful" things can't even be confessed to the priest.. What's the point really, as I'll just continue on doing them:p
Anyone else remember the station masses where the priest comes around to the house to say mass? Bloody hard to avoid confessions at one of those!

Zaph

Must be about 30 years ago at this stage. Most pointless activity on the planet.

We had a bishop on my fathers side of the family, as kids every few years he would have a home mass. It was the only time in my life ever having wine at a Catholic service. He wouldn't do confessions because he knew us and I don’t think it would have been too koshire

dceire

Probably about ten or so years ago when i was made go by my dad and was still in primary school. But I've grown out of that whole religion thing and am an atheist now so I guess my slots been given to someone else…I hear they don’t muck about!

takola

Just before my communion I think. I remember the priest saying "Well tak, it sounds like you thought about that for a long time before you got up here." "I did, Father."

Sure we'd all sat down in the church rehearsing it before we went up to him so we all went up and said the same speech!

I remember my mate went again about 2/3 years after that but it was to rat on the training priest who had a habit of coming in and locking the changing room door so he could watch us put our altar girls uniform on. We all found it very confusing, it wasn't like we stripped or anything! We wore them over our clothes. And then he gave us some of jesus' body too which was very bold so she had to tell the priest about that too. He was gone not long after that.

Conbro

Never

2nd class.

I remembr going in second class. On the way over everyone was exchanging ideas for things to confess to. Last time i went was in fifth year i think. The priest was a bit freaky so i didnt confess to much.

Ruu_Old

10 years ago I think. /me makes up sins.
