   >hear BIM BAM BOM

   :')

2. I understand what I don't need to do, but I don't understand exactly what I need to do.

3. I confess that sometimes i fall on 10 and 11. There is no doubting the ability of God to forgive, but in my intention in the ways to confess my sins.

4. Remember folks, you're there to confess your sins, not to be the parish narc.

5. WALKING DOSTOYEVSKY CHARACTER! !!!! And the List-bringers…. I always end up next in line after one of them.

6. When I go for confession, I have a list in my mind what I need to confess, but when I get up to the priest, my mind goes blank. I make a list, but then forget where I put it. I still am working on doing this better, but I am a convert and confession isn’t what I am familiar with. I was raised Lutheran. My husband was raised Roman Catholic, so he was more familiar with it. However, that being said, I have been Orthodox for 43 years now, so no excuses. 😔

7. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the issue with the list was over focusing on specific aspects or listing context that deals with other people. I tend to like it as a simple reference to make sure I am putting in proper prep. I also try to use it as a reminder to cover my own shortcomings when a sin may involve multiple people. It's a tool that can be helpful or harmful depending on use.

8. I am now confused… I have no idea how to confess… I need help…

9. I may be a sinner, but I'm no Tito.

10. Definitely guilty of at least one of these…thanks for this video, I needed it

11. Regarding lists, it helps me to write the list down as an exercise to prepare for confession, even if I don't read them out when I get to confession

12. Well, all of a sudden I feel guilty.

13. gotta say i love the artstyle and i think you could take it to a whole other level with enough practice, i'd love to see it stay

14. I love all of this, except for #9, because I believe that lists can be helpful if used properly: that is, as a prep for making concrete what it is that needs to be confessed and (speaking personally) to help me to avoid making excuses for my sins or playing them off as anything less than sin. FWIW. But I do get the point that you are making about how lists can be problematic.

15. I love the art in this video.

16. Disagree on the list. If I didn't have notes to refer to, I'd literally spend the entire confession going "um…ahh….um…there was something…uh…um…um…um…" It's not like you're reading out a letter. Nothing wrong with having quick references so you can focus on confessing your sins instead of simply trying to remember what you needed to bring up.

17. Awesome bro! Love this typa art!

18. 🤣🤣🤣 I love this! Too good. Too true.

19. I am loving the irony in your videos. It often reflects the sad truth of our lives as Christians

20. Ooohhh, did you get a drawing tablet? The art is cool

21. 1:44 is that father Moses!<3

22. You're so talented, gifted by God.

23. Dear Bojan,
    Would it be a sin if I convinced a very recent convert that in traditional Orthodox countries, on Pentecost Eve children await the coming of the Pentecost Platypus (in Serbia known as Dušana Platypa, among the ancient Britons as Whitsun Winifred)? What if I made up a legend like that she swims up the drain pipes bringing fresh fruit to good children to herald summer… and to naughty children, she brings pleurisy…?

24. I don't know I did it before confession, but we will always suffer no matter what…. for how this world is controlled….. for all this medicine and crap that we take…. we will never know the truth until we all die, and to meet the true king, not Queen Elizabeth nor king Philip.King Jesus, and all of the saints.

25. I can admit that I confess other people's sins way to often.

26. Thank you sir. I wrote a poem recently called Honest To God to offer at an interview with a Bishop/friend in front of a small group. I wish I had seen your video before I wrote it but anyway I think it was well received.
    Blessings and peace as always.

27. Ha ha when you need a confession to confess the 12 ways you should not have been confessing plus the one about the cell phone

28. We need a "how much sh*t can I talk before is get in effing trouble" video.

29. rq i need to confess; someone has a disorder called "claw toes" and i replied to their comment with "that sounds sick ngl".

    i did not realize your toes were always scrunched if you had claw toes i thought you literally had claws im stupid af-

30. I disagree with the list part. It is good to take the time to contemplate and write down your sins beforehand. It is worse to come to confession forgetting what to say. No priest will be angry if you have a list, in fact he may even commend you.
