not really surprised. what was odd for me: my family and friends shunned. then my non jw family also shunned b/c i was retarded and shunned them when i was jw. so that sucked! Now i am happy to say that my parents don't shun me anymore but a lot of jw friends do. oh well, their loss...... my non jw family is now not shunning me for shunning them. so i got 90% of my loved ones back and gained a few crazies along the way. not too bad in my eyes.

no, parents won't be there this fri. (at least i don't think so). so maybe it will be a little calmer than yesterday. Although she'll try to start crap with us but we won't bite and she'll get all p'sd off and ruin our gathering with each other anyway.

I have to agree with Emma. I would report to protective services. Maybe you can do it anonmyous if you feel you need to. Elders will sit on it since you are not JW. You will have a hard time getting them to believe you.

This is a girl crying to be noticed. Your mom and dad oblige. Now brainstorm, how can you keep from being sucked in to the crazyness? Do you have the option to go bowling or something?
Jgnat: you hit the nail on the head. She has always been like this and at first me, my sis and my bro tried to help her, assist with financial worries that she voiced, or what ever came up. Heck, when she got preg with my nephew, she called me saying she was going to abort b/c her and my bro were on the outs. So i talked her out of that and offered to adopt my nephew. she agreed, i started legal paperwork then when it was almost over, she reniged on the adoption. she seems to thrive on controversy and now, me, my sis and my bro (not the one married to her) basically ignore her dramatic scenes. Well, she noticed that we're not playing her game anymore and she called my sis yesterday, she started the conversation with "what's wrong with me, why do you and your sis (me) and your bro give me the cold shoulder? Is she ever going to get it? How dumb can this girl be. I hate that my brother married this nutjob and he had a very bad temper. All it will take is that day when he's had enough of her foolishness and then we'll be bailing his dumb butt out of jail.
As far as getting out of these situations. I get out of as many as I can but this friday is my nephew's b-day (1 year old) so i'm going for him. Not her!

undercover: you are absolutely correct! They go on and on about the JWs and she goes on and on trying to dispute their beliefs. At one point me and my siblings tried to dispute both religions (what each of the two sides were saying) and you should have been there...felt like WW3. The whole situation is sometimes so screwed up, becaue the SIL is such an argument hog, she could start an argument in an empty house. Uggggh.....makes me not want to go on Friday.

Phillip: I empathize with your situation. I am happy that you get to see your grandchildren now and they see what's been going on.
I hope that my nephew will be able to see the craziness when he gets older and know that I truly want to be close to him. I hardly ever get to see him except at family gatherings which usually are few and far between but now two gatherings in one week. It's a beat down being around her but it's a treat to be able to see my nephew. Guess i gotta take the good with the bad and ugly.

Try secretly taping her conversation and then play
it back to her at a later date to she what she thinks
of herself and ask her would she be attracted to some-
one who's approach was similar.Thanks Richard. I am going to try this. We are doing another family thing this friday and i'll bring my tape recorder along with me. I hope i don't get found out....LOL

dedpoet: i know. Me, my sis and two bros have told mom and dad this but they keep on going. They think in their jw minds that they will convert her. That's just silly thinking because if they couldn't keep their children in the troof then why are they trying to work on this nutjob?! I guess it would be quite humorous if it wasn't right in my face.

I am so angry and since I am some of this may not make sense.
I have a sister in law who has recently taken up the pentecostal religion. Before this she was devil/goth child. Now she uses this religion to put down every one else around her including my JW parents. Every time we are in a family gathering, she purposely starts a controversial conversation about religion and of course, my mom and dad take the bait. So then it’s some big religion argument between her and my parents and the rest of us end up either drinking whatever alcohol we can find or watching a movie together but we are not spending time with our parents during our family gathering time.
I do not agree with the JW religion but I don’t agree with her either. You know, it’s not religion in general that I disagree with, it’s the hypocrisy of the patrons that I see in every religion. So how in the heck would do you know what the "true" religion is?! My attitude is this: Believe what you want to believe and stop judging others for what they believe.
Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg and the other issues I have with her would take up too much of your time. Thanks for letting me vent.
