They promote dishonesty and suspicion of dishonesty. If confessions of belief are not grounded and rooted in personal experiences, they tend to degenerate into disintegrative doctrinal affirmations; for such confessions are rooted in a desire to please people, rather than in a desire to honestly know people as they truly are. Religious communities of insecure people who are compulsively preoccupied with what they regard as proper and/or improper doctrinal statements---tend to be communities which promote the dishonest recitation of conformal doctrinal affirmations by those people who have not had the experiences which have lead the leaders to formulate their doctrinal statements as honest confessions of their own personal experiences. It would be more integrative to elicit from each person true confessions of their own spiritual experiences. We cannot helpfully tell each other what confessions to make, for while we may know our own experiences; we cannot know each other's experiences in the absence of open and honest personal confessions enabled by unconditional gifts of true security.
