Hi Quotes,
I apologize for missing this continuing discussion by a few days. I did comment earlier on but missed this "part III"... the way you are being treated is starting to really piss me off...
Your sister told you you could not be at the reception because you had written a letter DAing yourself.
She was wrong about this, and when you told her she was wrong, rather than joyfully inviting you to the reception - since your letter of DA was the only thing preventing this - she embarks on a "Spanish Inquisition" - "tell me where you stand on the teachings of the Church".
I think you need to call her out on this - let her know that you can see what's going on.
Remind her that your (non-existent) letter of DA was the original stumbling block, and when you showed her that this stumbling block did not exist, she raised other objections to associating with you. Is an "elder" coaching her? If so, he could start by being honest - challenge her to produce the letter that she was told exists.
Whatever her excuse is, the way she's is treating you is not very nice - is everyone else on the guest list subject to such scrutiny? Will seating be assigned on the basis of average number of hours spent in the door-to-door ministry for the past year?
Yes, she's your sister - but you don't have to play along with such mean spirited divisive games. Maybe sometime years from now she'll wise up. You can be her buddy then.
