MIL
My MIL passed away about a year after we married, but I have eight sisters in law, four with different religions who would so like to convert me. Big sister would ring every sunday morning for weeks at 7am to ask me to go to a Buddhist sect called Yi Guan Dao, which mostly involves banging your head on the floor 100 times. The second belongs to a more normal buddhist sect and is vegetarian but cooks texas steaks. The third changes religion every few years, one time she changed buddhist sects (from the japanese one where you chant for a BMW, to a more mundane one) she made the family move their father's bones to another temple miles away, but she's now an ardent Christian and won't even go there on his death anniversary. The youngest one beleived in the power of pyramids and cystals and aliens leaving messages, but she's now become a born-again Christian. We'll see how long that lasts. In Dallas, where five of the SOLs live, they have a pet dog which was the sole survivor of a group of weird taiwan religious sect followers who committed mass suicide. --Its a very quiet dog. apoleng.
