[Menierofe]

From an Orthodox view, and this is an Orthodox forum when last I checked, anything or any position that assumes we should not discuss things with our father confessor has to be suspect. If we are unwilling to hear what our father confessor has to say, how will we receive spiritual healing and edifying advice? We are not Baptists, we think about things a bit differently and we don't have to depend upon our own intellects to figure everything out. This is why Christ gave us the Church to begin with. He did not give us a book, He gave us Apostles and they gave us bishops and they appointed priest to lead His flock. We don't lead ourselves and obedience counts for something.

Or so it seems to this bear of little brain
