My wife just called me at work to tell me that because my cousin "thought" he overheard that my daughter and her fiancee smoked "weed", he declined to go to my (formerly disfellowshipped) niece's anniversary party!!!!! This is the niece that tried to kill herself bercause no one would talk to her because she was DF'd. When my brother found out that my cousin, his wife and his parents declined the invitation because of this allegation, he literally threw up. (We've been trying to get closer as a family and now this!)......So half of the family invited probably won't be at the party. My wife asked if they would prefer if my daughter and her soon to be husband would not come to the "party". Of course, mu SIL said, "No way!".........I HATE THIS CULT!

Min, I'm so sorry. It sounds like he is playing a game, you know that passive/aggressive game JWs love wherein they can come up with some "righteous" sounding excuse so they can pass judgment on somone else.
How does your nice feel about it?

It's a surprise party. She doesn't know. My cousin rarely went to meetings until the past 6 months. Now he's to the extreme.....To hell with them.

Well it depends on you, but if it were me, I'd phone my cousin and say something like "You sound exactly like a Pharisee complaining about Jesus when he ate with the tax collectors."
What an asshole. Yes, there's always those who barely go to the meetings, but then they get a burst of religious fever and practically become Born Again Christians. This usually lasts about 6 months or a year, then they trail off again into oblivion...........

Well, I surely hope that your cousin comes to his senses at least enough to realize how he might really hurt the poor young woman. No chance that your mother could reason with him, have a heart to heart? Or has it already been tried?

My cousin is a kook. (Typical JW). Once this type of mindset thinks this way---it's just useless to reason with a person.
