I sure tried to act spiritual in the beginning of my JW life. I could go through the motions of being a good JW, but I just never could get turned on with being spiritual.I gave great talks and when I was an elder I could fill in for a no-show and never miss a beat. However, my wife at the time always complained that we didn't do the family study or study the WT lesson ahead of time. I really tried a few times, but I didn't like doing it. I would almost have prefered studying Moby Dick instead of Sunday's WT article. I never got close to any of the brothers, either.
I only had one serious Bible study that I can recall and he gave up after six months. He kept wanting to know how much longer until the end. I just couldn't lie to him about that. Funny thing was his wife hated when I came over and she usually left or did household chores while I was there. Looking back it was obvious that we didn't care about our studies as friends, they were just another number to add to the yearbook statistics.
I wonder how many others were fakers , too?
