Are there dangers in mutual confession [of sin]? Yes, and they are substantial. Psychologically needy persons sometimes use confession to get attention for themselves. Through the apparently spiritual medium of “confession” they can handcuff a captive audience as they relate the details of their sin with deluded or feigned contrition. Confession can also foster spiritual exhibitionism, a perverted moral pleasure in airing one’s laundry. The overly morbid can bend confession to become an excuse for unhealthy hyper-introspection. Ostensibly humble confession can also be used as a vehicle for spiritual aggression: “I want to ask your forgiveness for being bitter toward you over the years” – but what follows is not a confession, but an egregious assault… Confession turned into religious routine is deadly!

Mix the milk and miracle whip together to get a consistency of thick salad
dressing.  Set aside.
layer: Lettuce, celery, onions, peas, miracle whip/milk mixture, cheese,
bacon pieces.
Refrigerate overnight.  You can vary the quantities of all the ingredients
to suit you.  You could also add a layer of ripe olives or something.  The
only layers that need to be in order are the lettuce, salad dressing mix,
and topped with the cheese and bacon. The celery, onions, peas, etc.
doesn't really matter the order they are in. Ripe olives I would put on top
with the cheese and bacon layer.
