Its incredible how people are so ready to divulge personal details of their lives to three men who claim to be appointed by holy spirit. Some of these men know things about brother/sisters in the congregation that under any other circumstance, they would not share with anyone.

How Many People are Living a Lie?
by awokenjw inone of the things i often wonder about at the meetings is how many of these people are actually living a lie or sinning in secret?
and more importantly, how do these ones stomach it?
in my case, i have secretly dated and done things disapproved by the wt with a pioneer sister in my congregation for years and we both go to the same meeting twice a week and pretend everything is perfect and nothing has happened.

Stan, you're right. I am not. I have since gotten involved with another sister but we have not done anything. She has no idea whats happened previously and having someone else involved makes it even more disturbing

This is true Stan. However, I always contemplate whether her confession will finally be way to get out

Watching people like that "work" amazes me because they almost have to have 2 different brains that function independently but they have the ability to turn each one on and off. Forums like these give me an outlet and I wonder what their outlets are.

Well I basically find myself in a situation I am sure is not uncommon - whole family is in and I do not want to lose them. That is why I stay. But I was also involved with this pioneer sister before I was appointed as a servant. We are not together anymore but I do still wonder what goes through her mind.
On the one hand, if I stay, I am always going to wonder if she will confess leading me losing everything I know or she wont. On the other hand, if I leave I still lose everything I know.

I can only imagine how much their conscience eats them up. The stress alone is torturous and that is why I can only assume that she will eventually break down like you did London111. But maybe there are people who are able to live with those things and it not bother them.
That thought is scary.

One of the things I often wonder about at the meetings is How many of these people are actually living a lie or sinning in secret? And more importantly, how do these ones stomach it? In my case, I have secretly dated and done things disapproved by the WT with a pioneer sister in my congregation for years and we both go to the same meeting twice a week and pretend everything is perfect and nothing has happened. I have personally seen and heard things from brothers that lead me to believe that they are doing similar things.
The cognitive dissonance that go through these people's minds must be tremendous. I personally sometimes cannot even stand being at the meetings because it genuinely bothers me that I am lying to so many people who think I am almost sinless. Not to mention the fear that one day this sister could go cult mode and confess to our elders. The thought that everything you know - family and friends - can disappear at any moment is scary and I cannot understand how these people living lies like mine do it.
Do you guys have any experiences as to JWs living double lives but still being able to function perfectly within the congregation?
