I have privately determined to find out exactly who, which elder, would be trying to guilt my parents over ANYTHING... and then I beat the crap out of that elder. Hospital bad. With a bat. Maybe shove my gun in his face and pull the trigger to hear it go click and watch him piss himself.
I refuse to take crap or kneel to any tyranny or allow any punk to threaten the love that is MY RIGHT as a human being.
I keep what's mine. Snarl. Maybe you need to track down exactly WHICH elder is pulling the strings here and smack him around a bit. Castration tends to take the edge of religious fervor, maybe the boy needs a duo-tumor-ectomy.
