You can use this if you like:
The family was whole, and would be still, until you decided to listen to some bad advice from old men in Brooklyn that you don't even know and accepted their clearly erroneous interpretation of scripture. They told you to ignore the natural affection family members have for one another, an instinct put into us by Jehovah, and to hate your brother, a concept that goes against several scriptural laws.
The family will be made whole again when you wake the f@ up.
I'm assuming the wedding was in a KH?
Tell your brother to hold the "last" family wedding in a non-religious location and to only invite people who will treat the WHOLE family with respect. Problem solved.

How would you respond to him in a kind and loving way to get him thinking of how irrational his suggestion is?
Just tell them this.
29 "I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life.
All the best,
Stephen
Thanks everyone!! Those are some terrific responses, and I will definitely use some of these suggestions...now it is just choosing among so many good ones
I wish that I was ready when he said it, but i guess I didn't think he would stoop to the "come back even if you don't believe it" tactic...thanks again all.
