I think that the majority consensus on this thread is that people are disgusted at OP's feelings and behavior towards her own sister. So, they are not feeling superior. They just cannot fathom that one could do this to her own sister.[/quote]

I am not going to go through every comment in 6 pages, but plenty have clearly expressed their superiority to the OP ("your sister is better off avoiding you" that sort of thing)  I also have difficulty with people saying "I am disgusted with you, but I do not feel superior to you"   And I see little understanding of OP's feelings or behavior - because people do not understand what following halacha means to an Orthodox Jew (of course in the USA we also don't understand what following sharia means to an observant muslim, to the point that right wing politicians abuse that for votes) [/quote]

If OP wants to follow Halacha, go ahead. Don't dictate how others should live or practice Judaism.[/quote]

The issue is that there is not one clear answer here.  Clearly, OP has her choice of religious advisors to determine whether she may go.  The issue is she seems to be inclined to seek out the advice that she is halachically justified in boycotting the wedding.  She wants to make her OWN point for her own superiority, and is purposefully seeking out advice that allows her to do so.  I have a very hard time believing there is a unified hard-line interpretation of Orthodox rules that would forbid her from attending her sister's wedding.  [/quote]

I'm not aware of any rules that would prevent her from going, unless the wedding is on Shabbat or another holiday.[/quote]
