I was miserable as a teen being a jw.  All I wanted was to have friends, however I couldn't stand most of the witness kids my age and the ones I could were even deemed "bad association", so of course I knew better than to bring up the subject of having non-witness friends.  It's weird, deep down I knew I was miserable because I was a jw, but I didn't really want to accept it until I found out about some major flaws within the org.  That's mind control and cognitive dissonance for ya...

Christianity:
The belief that some cosmic Jewish zombie can make you live for ever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and
whose emission was like that of horses - Ezekiel 23:20
