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]

Some of us understand. What we cannot understand is that ANY type of religious doctrine would make you belittle your own sister's choices. If that's the case you should question yourself as to why you agree. [/quote]

People make choices. Some choices are wrong. I am sure you can imagine choices a close relation would make that you consider fundamentally wrong.  Maybe you can't.  But I would hope you can understand that others would disagree.

And no, I don't think many here understand Orthodox Judaism, or the meaning of halacha within it. [/quote]
