We are very cautious here. We have people come in all the time under false pretenses when their goal is nothing other than to try to convert us. So when some one comes in asking if we pray to Jesus, it makes us suspicious. And it also indicates someone does not have basic knowledge of Judaism. There is no shame in that, it simply shows that they have a lot more studying to do before they can even consider converting. Also, the statements and questions asked by Jason are all the issues you are going to have to face if and when you decide to convert. A rabbi is going to dig deeply into your motivations, your background, and your knowledge. Converting to Judaism is much more complex than converting to other religions.
So if you change you mind and want to ask questions, you are more than welcome to do so. If not, I wish you well.
Well said Chava!
I agree 100% and hope everyone understands the decisions we as moderators must make and the circumstances surrounding them.
I most certainly do. 100%! I have been a member of this forum for enough years only to witness the volume of sneaky posts (Jesus and his many names and roles) playing out and ending by feigning ignorance or acting insulted.
My take. Anyone actually interested in a conversion that would think the forthright answers, provided here on a Jewish forum are "attacks" or offensive in any way is not serious about conversion.
These were not only good answers but helpful for any potential convert, adult enough to handle what is required in a conversion with the different avenues, ranging from Reform to Orthodox. Anyone claiming to receive a message from G-d, laid upon their heart could not be so thin skinned as to criticize the responses given by the Jewish members of this forum. Makes me doubt any sincerity.
