If he insists on her using her own money, that's excellent. Then she
has to deal with it on her own.
I seriously doubt there's been any attempt to recruit him. From what
I've seen, it's a female organization.

That was one of my complaints that I pointed out to Ruby, but I think in
his/her haste to prove that MLMs are good (or to be "open minded") that
they've completely missed the point of your entire post.
Heart surgery is a serious issue in itself and a sister in a cult is
also serious in itself. You've been through a very rough time and,
unfortunately, there's no magic bullet you can use to wake your sister
up. She has to discover she's been scammed on her own and all they do
focuses on keeping her from finding that out. It's not easy, but we
are here to help -- at least most of us are because we've seen what an
MLM can do to people.

to waste time debating if some are good or bad.)
