"At least she isn't coverting to Islam."

That's exactly what I said to her, when she told me the other day!

Should you be worried? I'd say yes. Not for her safety but for the sake of her soul. I agree with everything that wideawake said in post #7. If I were you I'd pray for your sister. I think it's a great tragedy everytime someone turns their back on Christ and embraces a cult or another religion outside of Christianity.

I once was witnessing to a JW and showed him in his "bible" that the Holy Spirit was Deity and had a personality and therefor that the Trinity was indeed real.

He admitted that I knew the bible better than he but that he knew the Watchtower would have the answers to the scripture I was showing him. He was totally closed minded that the Watchtower could be wrong.

Be afraid... be very afraid.

To risk losing her, I wouldn't worry about it. You could push to hard and not see or speak to her again.
