Until I just couldn't. The religion of Jehovah's Witness is one of arrogance, discrimination, and exclusivity. Those attributes, in and of themselves have hurt and embittered me more than anything else. To this day, it enrages me and is the one thing I still cannot let go of. I have this overwhelming need to tell them so-to tell them how they hurt me and my family and others who couldn't play the game.
Some religions do teach people to be unhappy.
It's my opinion that all organized religions do. I spent most of my youth going to Sunday-school, church, and then evening service. I was back On Monday and Wednesday's for prayer meetings. I grew up hearing that God was love but learned to fear him instead. I was always told to have faith in God's Will but usually only when something went wrong or not my way.
