Well, it wasn't COMPLETELY ruined, but I had never been so hurt and upset and pissed off at family members in all of my life. Oh the drama caused by stupid religious bullshit, judgemental bitches, and easily manipulated minds.

So, Saturday I spent at Ren Faire, and had a great time just hanging out in the tank top i felt would bring the most attention to my tits since I was sans costume and had major cleavage envy. And all day I was excited about the dinner, and sibling reunion which was supposed to happen on Sunday, where I would get to see my sister Rene and her son who I haven't seen in years, my sister Carrie and her son would be there, my twin, my little brother, and everyones kids and significant others would all be there having a lovely dinner at my brothers place, my brother Danny who hadn't spoken to Rene in 15 years. So, at the last possible minute, my lovely bitch of an older sister Rene decides to call my brother and cancell on him because she had a sudden revelation that she shouldn't be spending time with her sinfull little sisters.

Let me bring you up to speed. I was raised a Jehovah's Witness, as most of you know, and half of my siblings still are. I was baptized when I was in the sixth grade, after much coaxing and convincing and pressure from my mother. Because of this, which was when I was 12 and didn't know any better, my sister has decided that since I am now not living my life according to how that religion thinks I should be, I am not worthy of her company, and that goes for my twin sister as well. So she cancelled on everyone the night before we were supposed to get together. But the hurtfullness does not end there, my older brother calls my twin sister and tells her that he didn't realize that the two of us were baptized and now did not think he should be spending time with us either (he is still a Jehovah's Witness as well) He basically told her that he was agreeing with Rene and felt that he should cancell the whole dinner. So apparently silly beliefs of a screwed up religion are more important than family. Well, later, my older sister Carrie talked some sense into him and he apologized and we still got together, but feelings were still hurt, tensions were still high, and it will probabally be another 15 years before Danny and Rene speak again.

And my family wonders why I won't go back to a religion that encourages their members to alienate their own family members and judge them and treat them horribly if they believe differently than they do.
