Public Confession

I would like to ask a favor guys: My church asks one to confess the most important sins in their life to other brothers before baptism. Some people really object to this but I accept it and see the value to it. I have confessed most of my sins (some vaguely enough that they can be interpreted by the listener as meaning for women...). But the sins of boylove really cannot be confessed to others in my church....they are between me and God. I believe quite strongly that God would not want me to confess BL sins to fundamentalist brothers, though I do believe that God wants me to work on those sins. It would take so long to explain to them that my sins of BL would never result in touching one of their children that I would end up explaining for the next 3 years. My request is to be able to confess my sins to brothers HERE on this forum. I believe deeply that this is really acceptable to God. Is it okay to do it here and if not could it be done by email? None of the sins that I need to confess here include breaking the law. You are not alone.
