First off, I want to tell you that you're not alone. I am in the process of converting to Judaism (I'm conservative though). I was raised as a Protestant Christian. My mom had already passed away when I decided it was time for me to convert, but I did tell my dad, before I ever stepped foot in a shul (synagogue). I am not saying that you should tell them right away, in fact, my advice to you, know your stuff before anything. Know WHY you want to convert. Be able to go to your parents with your facts, so that if they ask questions you can answer them. Just make sure you let them know that you will only believe what you know is true and tell them unless you can prove, for yourself, that Christianity is false that you won't leave, but you need to discover yourself first.
If you need someone to talk to feel free to email me. Here are a few sites that are good for getting facts: chabad.org aish.com jewfaq.org And a facebook group that I myself am a member of and they are a great community of people... https://www.facebook.com/groups/274674685926225/ Jay...please, he is not asking for a Bible Study or intervention he is asking for advice on how to do what he is going to do no matter what you say. If he is LEAVING Christianity, after being raised a Christian his whole life, what makes you think that you, some stranger on the internet, can all of a sudden change his mind? It actually angers me at times when people try to "fix me" when they find out that I am converting. |
