ACtually, if you convert you are stuck too. There ain't no "reneging" and that is one of the reasons that try so hard to make sure a convert is serious. So yup, she's Jewish.

Has anyone ever seen this? I thought it was worth posting....

>>an open letter to Dr. Laura

Dear Dr. Laura,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.

a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

g) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev 19:27. How should they die?

i) I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your devoted disciple and adoring fan.

Isn't that from an episode of the West Wing?

I think Dr. L only wanted to be Jewish so she could complain endlessly about how HARD it is to be Orthodox...she was forever whining about what she couldn't eat and what a sacrifice it was

I can't listen to her...she constantly interrupts her callers just to hear the sound of her own superior voice. Nobody can get a full sentence out!

Not to mention, the HORRIBLE "advice". :Puke

I'm not sure if it was from West Wing...someone forwarded it to me about a year ago & I liked it so much I saved it. It was just the ammo I needed to successfully argue with my obnoxious close minded BIL.

Martin Sheen made a similar rant to an ultra-conservative talk show host (a la Dr. Laura) on an episode of The West Wing.

Well, my understanding is there are several views. One is that you're stuck. Another is that sometimes it just doesn't stick, IYKWIM.

And in this case, not really liking being a member of any club that would accept her as a member ... would prefer to think it just didn't stick.

IYKWIM.
