I think it would be ard for us to really listen to the sins of others and forgive and build them up. I know it is hard, especially if it's not something I particularly struggle with. I know a lot of people walk around with a lot of guilt, but helping that be a "sorry that leads to repentance and leaves no regret." I think you make a great point.

Lot of stuff on that site. Most of it seemed foolish, stupid or just some guys trying to be funny (which they weren't). However there were some pretty serious issues addressed where people really wanted/needed a response (in this case forgiveness for a wrong they knew they had done). I don't know if I can answer the question you posed but I would say that as I was reading some of the "sins" and "responses" I was thinking "why can't the Church allow for this kind of thing?" (the serious stuff). I don't think we have the guts to handle some of these issues without judgments and quick fixes. So because of that I think THOUSANDS (in not more) will flock to sites like these to try and be relieved of their guilt. (It won't surprise me if some company like Google buys this site for millions of dollars in a few years). I wonder how the people who get a good "forgiveness" rating feel after they have been "judged?" Do you think they actually feel like it's okay now, that life can go on as normal? Somehow I don't think the Spirit and our spirit will let us off so easy. Wow. Lot of stuff on that site. Most of it seemed foolish, stupid or just some guys trying to be funny (which they weren’t).
