Now read this!
ok, this is the reason for the last post- so if ya haven't read that yet do the set home work then get back to this one.
Question- should you be totally open and honest with someone even if you think what you say might make them feel awkward?
How did that relate to the last post?
well last post was a lot of open and honest info about me that you prob didn't want to know and are now prob determinded never to- go underware shopping with me, swimming or to ever camp in the same tent or cabin with me- feeling awkward that I've disclosed so much info?
Good now you can answer the question!!
Although this is prob not a good example.

Mim, I believe that honesty should always be practiced. To think that in the examples that you previously posted prior warning and initial awakward feeling prevented a prolonged moment of awkwardness. Of which by giving such warning the recipient was given the opportunity to act in order to prevent greater feeling of awkwardness. (This action could come in the form of departing the scene or remaining and allowing for activity to be conducting ie. close eyes/ look the other way, etc.) Of course this is only the case (which doesn't apply to this specific case but may others that are similar) if such warning was nothing more than a brief comment to allow others to prepare and react in a suitable manner, not merely to draw attention to ones self.
All this talk of opportunity for action leads me to a question for you, Mim,Would you like me to stop viewing this blog, as you appeared to show minor distress when alerted to the fact that I was viewing. Of course if I were to continue to view Iwould merely use it as a given oppourtunity to strengthen and fellowship with fellow brothers and sisters, and strengthen and be strengthened in the process. So what action would you like to occur, termination of my activity in the blog, or continuation?

nah, deffinately keep viewing if you want- my minor distress was more from the fact that you remembered what I'd said on my blog however, I didn't- I really have such a bad memory and that scares me sometimes!!
The only other distress would be the whole misinterpretations thing that we talked about- and I think is often increased when using technological devises eg. blogs. But hey thats life and I'm sure God can work through that anyway.
Also, don't take anything I say towards youth group etc to be from the group- I can only speak for myself.

As for my question- my issue is more with the amount of openess we should share not so much the honesty thing.
The examples I used really weren't that great but thanks for your response!!
