Love,
I have a similar story with my sister. Though we never out right told each other to stay out of each other's lives, it was obvious my sister apposed my being a JW. She wrote me a nasty letter once telling me she couldn't believe the religion I had chosen. She said "Out of all the religions out there I can't believe you went and choose that one!" LOL! My poor sis. (I can laugh about it now but then it hurt a lot) I distanced myself from my family because they just didn't understand. What a fool I was!
First thing I did when I awoke from my deep dubdum sleep was tell my sister I was out and wanted to have a better relationship with her. She and I are now building a wonderful relationship as well as with the whole family. It's so wonderful.
All I can say is Thank God not one person in my family listened to my JW nonsense! I'm so looking forward to my first X-mas in six years with my family.
