Find out if things like ghost, vampires, and angels are real (read all 2 entries…)
You learn...anything is possible...anything could be real...even the unreal... 3 weeks ago

First you figure hey God is real…then you live your whole life breaking free of the monotonous stuff by exploring said world…and you realize some pretty weird stuff exists and hell you even have proof it exists (*National Geographic Magazines. Tada!!!).

But what about creativity? But is it real…does your mind make it real? There are plenty of children who fear the boogey man and other such monsters swearing they’re real… & although we call them silly is that really fair? Creativity is creativity even if our imaginations are torturing us.

But if the world has infinite possibilities say my neighbor night owl neighbor is a vampire…my cousin a werewolf…my dead grandma a ghost…

Maybe the missing persons came across monsters and were either killed or abducted? Yes I know crazy it’s just a step from alien abductions… BUT!!! It’s all about the possibilities.

With all the people out there writing and playing role playing games it makes you wonder how many people want it to be real and how many are scared to go beyond the confines of a book…realize people are slightly afraid that’s why they get their thrills through movies and books which can’t hurt you just perhaps help with self torture via fear.

Convert to Judaism (read all 3 entries…)
Hmm...So Far 1 month ago

So far I’m still reading the book Jewish Literacy. It’s a lot easier read than the Torah is…

By the time I finish reading the Torah I’ve forgotten a lot about what I read in the beginning of the book.

Jewish Literacy pulls things together by telling you all the facts.

People doubt my sincerity in converting to Judaism because they think it will be too difficult for me to let go of past beliefs.

I worry that the people who act as though they’ll accept my choice to convert are only doing so because they think it’s just a phase and I quickly move on to obsessing about something else.

What if I do convert Then what?

I’d hate for the people I’m closest to to suddenly…I don’t even what to think of how badly that could go especially with the hard core Christians in my family.

I’m honestly unsure of myself. Back in March I called a Synagogue just to see if I’d be welcomed and it went well. The woman I spoke with told me the time of services, what to wear, and required reading (Jewish Literacy :).

I’m just afraid of attending,,, I don’t like being under scrutiny and crowds make me nervous. But I’m mostly afraid of messing up because this is the only synagogue near me…If I screw up I have no other synagogue to go to.

Blah…I’ll get the courage from somewhere but first I’ll finish that thousand paged book as a starting point. I also have to save up money to convert.

Everything costs something these days sigh. Even if the conversion is free the study materials probably won’t be. I’m just lucky I have a great library at my disposal at which I got Jewish Literacy.

So far I’m also trying to learn biblical hebrew at this site http://www.animatedhebrew.com/ It has everything!

Wish me luck,
