When Was The Last Time You went to Confession..

LoanShark · 09-09-2008 09:29PM #1

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?

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 · 09-09-2008 09:42PM

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

)

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

Fratton Fred · 09-09-2008 09:52PM

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

ShooterSF · 09-09-2008 10:26PM

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.
