I cannot get myself to confess,I know I am not the only one that has done this, but I am way too embarrassed. I hope I am not coming across as cheapening his mantle or revelation, but I would think what he will advise is the following: recommend fasting, scripture study, prayer, meeting and temple attendance, etc. I think more than anything, confession to a bishop is more for the purpose of accountability. Knowing you will be following up with him will probably be a strong deterrent. What do you all think?

Someone asked what I am doing to make up for the slip-up. The list:prayer,church attendance, fasting,reading the scriptures, etc. Someone asked if I enjoyed it. As you know, enjoyment is what that is what draws people to commit sin to begin with. And yes, it was Kim Kardashian. Thanks for everyone's input.

This means that any time a member watches a rated R movie and doesnt look away the second nudity is seen, that he or she should confess to the bishop? I am the executive secretary and make appts for the bishop. Most appts are for financial assistance. I would think if most members abided by this, that the bishop wpuld have a ling line outside his door. So if I dont ever confess, it sounds like there is the possibility I might not be exalted? I pay a full tithe, was EQ pres, served a mission, attend all my meetings, pray and read the scriptures daily. I honestly cannot get myself to confess bo matter how much I push myseld, so I might be forfeiting my exaltation over this. Is there something official that states what exaxtly needs to be confessed?

I heard a celebrity was baring herself in a magazine, so my willpower got the best of me I looked her up on the internet and looked at her backside. I did have a problem with this sort of thing before, but it was resolved. Is it absolutely necessary to confess this to my bishop? Or is it necessary only for repeated times of doing this sort of thing? Thanks in advance.
