Anyone suffering from things they learned in the church?

One thing that happened to me (it was embarassing at the time, but I've gotten over it) was erectile dysfunction. Because the church said sex is evil, I would always feel super guilty when I got with girls.

It wasn't until years later that I got over.

I was just wondering if anyone else had experiences like that

Not that particular symptom....in fact, when I rebelled, I want "the other way".
But to answer your question, as a raised catholic kid up until I reached about 22 to 26 years of age, much guilt was inculcated in my mind that I've struggled to eliminate over time.
The catholics - more than any other religious group - have fine tuned mind-control to absolutely new heights!
People don't go to heaven when they die; they're taken to a special room and burned.
