I lie to my church to stay a member. They have strict policies and a high moral code. I have cheated on my wife. They tried to excommunicate me once, but I acted repentant. Now the same things that got me into trouble in the first place have happened again. I don’t want to go to church anymore, but I do so to keep up appearances. I’m sick of leading a double life, but I can’t handle the fall out with my family. I can’t bring them anymore pain.
