Thank you, remember we have to be the bigger kid in the sandbox. This world will throw everything at us. Including the kitchen sink and ACME anvils. When Jesus watched from the cross, the pharisees were playing out Psalm 22. While it starts with my God my God why hast thou forsaken me, Matthew 27:46 has it at the end of the Pharisee's taunts. My opinion is, that Jesus looks down and states Father, forgive them. They don't know what they are doing. That's hard for us to understand, because we think everyone knows what they are doing. The Pharisees were immature, not perfect as a father is a mature adult understanding his son. What he will go through because of bad decisions. The Pharisees were making bad choices like your sibling is doing. Whether they do it out of greed, opportunity, thoughtlessness, or the belief they're absolutely right. We have to wait for our Father Jesus Christ to give us the direction. All our emotions come together when these things happen. We all of a sudden remember every slight, every bad deed, all the hurt which happened in the past. But we can't really remember the past, because our memories aren't Memorex, we can only deal with the right now.
All things work to the good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. All things, even what is going on right now. Whether it's a sibling, a spouse, or a child who is confused in their teens concerning what is truth? We have to walk in the light as He is in the light. We all have our garden of Gethsemane. Sometime we have it multiple times in our life time. Thank Jesus for those times. Thank Jesus when we say, not my will, but your will be accomplished.
Praying for you my brother in Jesus name

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

You may want to get a lawyer involved. Sibling disputes can become very messy.
