Quite frankly, I don't believe it myself. I cannot even begin to make sense of all of this. I am not pulling your leg. The story seems to make absolutely no sense. When I first posted I was asking if anyone had heard of Mormons using these types of things before (obviously NO). I am more of the conclusion that my sister is either REALLY messed up, or the guy was obsessed w/ her and snuck into the medicine cabinet and got some stuff to get her to be a bit more receptive of him. My parents are focusing on the religion of the family, but I think it's more that they are just really wierd, and the kid must have some problems. As of right now my parents have the "solution"

They are moving to a place a few hours away, and enrolling her in a CoC school

Not only that, they have a appt. w/ a CoC psychiatrist on Wednesday. I am really worried that this guy won't be much help, and will actually make it worse. He was recommended by my parents' preacher (the one who said a CoC virgin was a prize or something like that). I am just really worried about my sister. I worry that maybe the rigid black/white mindset of the CoC is actually damaging her.

This kid is came to my home with his mother a few days ago looking for my sister. Right after the police went to get her stuff and told them to stay away from her. Obviously he isn't getting it. My sister has also filed for a restraining order, but will have to go to court or something for it to last longer than 15 days

Anyway, I just hope that everything will be straightened out soon, and that my sister has no real lasting damage from all of this.

The only thing your sister can do really, is to try for emancipation from your parents, otherwise, she is stuck going through this counseling and going to this school. I think if she does happen to be hiding something like her level of participation in all this, then her guilt will probably escalate and her next few years won't be fun. Is there any way that you can spirit her away to a secular psychologist that has no contact with your parents? Your sister probably won't be able to feel free to really talk with the one your parents have set up.
