HELP: Maiguru Turning Our Elder Brother Against Us
He has stopped coming to family functions and stopped contributing to the family in any way.
My brother and I were always close. We grew up together and did everything together. Almost every weekend, we would have a beer or two together at Mashwede.
But things changed when he married a woman from a certain church. At first, I didn’t think much of it. I figured it was just a phase and that he would eventually come back to us.

But as time went on, it became clear that he was serious about his new faith. He stopped coming to family functions and stopped contributing to the family in any way. It was like he had completely cut us out of his life.
I didn’t know what to do. I missed my brother and I wanted things to go back to the way they were before. But I also knew that I couldn’t force him to change his beliefs.
So I decided to take a different approach. Instead of trying to change him, I tried to understand him. I also visited the church but I could not understand what was happening there.
I believe that my brother isn’t trying to hurt us or cut us out of his life. He is just trying too hard to live according to the standards set by his wife and her church. And while I respect his right to believe whatever he wants to believe, I feel that my brother is being used and has a spell cast on him to blind him.
We no longer see eye-to-eye on everything, but I believe we’re still family and we still love each other. How can I help him out of this situation?
