Wow, I vaguely remember posting this years ago. Since then I have abandoned my conversion attempt. I do not feel an outsider can actually convert unless they know someone who is already within the Jewish community. I also think that it would be much easier to convert if you are converting for...

I think the buying of buddhas has become quite fashionable. Maybe it is a fad? I found this description of the laughing buddha: The Buddhist figure named Hotei or Pu-Tai is better known as the jolly Laughing Buddha. In China, he is known as the Loving or Friendly One. He has become...
