I don't trust my girlfriend.?

Hi! I've been going out with my girlfriend for about a year now, and shes great, But once I went overseas for about a month and came during our 8th month, she seemed like a completely different person. One of her friends told me that see has been flirting via text message with a excessive amount of guys, and at first at didn't believe it. I then confronted her amount it, and she wouldn't let me see her cell phone text messages because she said they were private. Then about a week later, I ask her again and she was even more possessive over the phone and quickly ran to the bathroom to because she said, "I feel sick." When she came back, she allowed me to look through her phone and there wasn't a single text message in the Inbox. I told myself enough is enough and got into a argument with her, and she later told me that the reason she cleared her inbox was because she didn't want me to see the messages in her Inbox, because she was sending one of her male friends a gift basket because he is away at camp. She later tells me a week after that shes walked with this guy at 12am until 2:30am through the neighborhood and a local park, but she swore that she didn't cheat on me. Then, 2 months after this occasion I tell her that she either lets me see her text messages, or we will break up. She lets me read them. She has messages from more than 5 guys where she is calling them baby, boo, and honey. She doesn't even answer my text messages with these names. (But before the my trip she always would let me look through her phone at there was not one flirty message ever!) In one instance she even says I love you to a guy. I of course, reacted because I have not once refereed to a girl in that name and style, But after this occasion I was no saint myself. I became overly friendly with another girl and my girlfriend soon finds out from reading my call long. She started to cry and call this woman to come to my house so we three can have a discussion about this. I didn't cheat with my girlfriend with this other girl, all I did was flirt. No walks through the neighborhood no nothing. Me and my girlfriend end up getting back together. Although, I wasn't the ideal boyfriend, I seem to believe that she is the one at fault throughout the problems that occurred after I gotten back from my trip, and also I don't trust her. What can I possibly do to trust her again? What measures should she take to become the girlfriend she once was? please help!

Then dump the *****. Next question.

What do you think Mommy would need?

It's been a while since I had my son and my SIL is going to give birth in January. I've finished shopping and making things for the baby, but now it's time to focus on the mommy, which I know lots of people don't really think of when the cute cuddly one is here. So I'm giving her a gift basket of goodies she might need. So far, I've decided she will need: Absorbent pads BFing supplies (if she's bfing - haven't asked yet) Motrin and Tylenol Frozen meals (if you have any good ideas for this let me know!) Soft, fluffy robe Warm socks Anything else?
--------------------
"Anything else?" A few of those airplane-sized mini bottles of liqueur for after the 4am feeds?

Scam or not a scam????????????

So a while ago I entered a contest for a trip to NYC, a photo shoot, and a gift basket. It was held by barbizon. A little while ago, I received a call to go to a hotel where they have auditions to be in the agency. The presentation made it seem like it was trustable. They did say most people will probably need the school, which comes with a fee. And they said that most people will not make it. They needed a headshot, and basic info like aaddress im hhopingto make it, but I'm a little skeptic about it. My friend told me two people I know did the same thing and made it. They went through the school, and then were never contected again. They said they would only call you for an audition is you have the requirements for whatever it is, so maybe that is why. But i have searched it and I so far get the idea that if you get an audition you dont think it is a scam, but if you went through the school and havent recieved an audition yet, you think it is a scam. Obviously this wont matter to me if i dont end up making it. But if I do, id just like to ask your opinion.

don't do it. the articles below will give you EVERYTHING you need to know. be smart and don't do barbizon :) http://www.ripoffreport.com/Modeling-Sch… http://www.ripoffreport.com/bait-and-swi… go to ripoffreport.com and see for yourself.

All-Inclusive Wedding Business Plan?

In the local economy (Ocala, FL) businesses close, daily. I have the oppertunity to run my dream business & presently own a biz already that does well: I have an idea & I need advice. I can lease (& live there at the same time in this dream place) a beautiful mini-mansion, perfect for hosting weddings, events, parties, etc., & it has a basement in which my fiance can put-in his dream music recording studio. We can afford this place, however we'd be financially tight. So I thought: Use it as an all-inclusive place where events & weddings can be hosted. Offering my event planning servce; the house as location; honeymoon night in the master suite; I also have a relationship with the manufacturer of major label (Maggie Sottero, Mori Lee, Divinci, you name it I can get-these gowns costing thousands for only $200 or less, direct. Fiance is a chef & can do the food. Undercut everyone else; also handle floral, favors, etc. We own wedding decor, everything. He's a notary & can marry the couple. We could handle any event. Problem: we can afford the investments & advertising but would be financially tight at first. He's scared, but this is my dream chance. I already run a great biz that takes alot of time. I can do "All-Inclusive Events & Weddings." I would be able to offer in this terrible economy to people, "platinum weddings," -- everything included, for $2,500.00 or LESS depending on what they want. We checked around, here the others are pricing starting at $940 and it includes ONLY the use of the location!? NO OTHER SERVICES! I think people will flock to us to do their weddings & events. It is it worth being possibly "house-poor?" Is this something people would go for? Even if we didn't do this idea, we could afford the place but it would be tight. & this is my dream. Should I try it? The owners of the place want $1,500/mo. & will keep it the same next year if we renew. Renting a "regular" home & leasing a storefront for my idea is the EXACT SAME PRICE except I wouldn't have a location to host the events & weddings. Should I go for the mini-masion or a reg. home & storefront or should I forget it, all together? Included in the weddings would be: gown & accessories to keep, floral, bridal bouquet, etc., decor, cake, food, location, honeymoon night in our glamorous master suite; B&B style, favors, reception location, wait staff, use of all ceremony & reception accessories, use of tables, chairs & china service, set-up & break-down, music, wedding planning & coordination services, ceremony & officiant, newlywed gift basket & 20 photos. Optional at lower cost than others are charging: video, personalized items & photo albums, special-order & color-coordinated decor, live band & anything else they dream of. I can get/offer it all at less than 1/2 of what others are charging. What should I do? Presently, I just offer my gown service.
--------------------
building a business on someone else's property, when the business is exlusive to that property, is risky business. Say it takes 2 years to make it viably profitable. Say then in 2 years they decide to sell the property or to raise the rent to a point where you can no longer afford it. What if the owners raise decline to renew the lease and take advantage of the business reputation of the site, then they steal your idea. All your hard work then becomes free labor/ advertising for them and you're left in the dust with all the expenses! Buy the property before you exploit it. Or sign a comprehensive 99 year lease (with option to cancel) and put it in there that if they sell it, you get first chance to buy. Talk to a real estate lawyer about all of this before you spend a dime. Also, you can charge a LOT more than that and still get a lot of jobs. For what you're charging, you'll have a hard time pulling a profit. Weddings are very very expensive things. I am a wedding photog and I won't show up for under 1200 for only 4 hours. You can charge WAAAAYYY more than that. Good luck.

writing an LDS missionary?

i'm writing a missionary that i met just a few weeks before he went on his mission....he comes back in a few months and i've pretty much just run out of things to say. i want my letters to be interesting and good to read so i need some ideas?? also....do you think it would be weird if i sent him a little something for christmas? a couple of my friends met him the same night i did but none of them are writing him and i was thinking maybe sending some cookies or a gift basket and me and my friends write a little something to him? haha idk tell me what you think... thanks:)
--------------------
Hello, This might have been the wrong place to ask this question. You're going to get a lot mean responses. But its perfectly fine send him a package for christmas. Missionaries love packages. Tell him about your life no matter how boring you think it is. missionaries like to hear these things. talk about your calling in church, school, etc. if you have problems thinking what you did through the week you should write a little every day and talk about your day. that way it wont be so hard.

What should I get my mom for her birthday?

My mom is turning 37 in 4 days, and I really don't know what I should get her. She is 7 months pregnant, but I don't want to get her anything that has to do with the baby, because it is her birthday, not his. And she doesn't really wear jewelery, so that is a no. She always wants pajamas, so I am gonna get her a pare of pajamas. But I need to get her something else too. I was thinking about the new netrogena wave, but I don't know if she would ever use it. I was also thinking about a gift basket that has different soaps, and things for to bath tub. But I really wanted to get her something special that isn't too expensive. But whenever I ask her what she wants she says I don't know. So this year I want to surprise her with something she will love. Got any suggestions? 10 points for best answer!!!
--------------------
Hi well I'm sure your Mom would like some nice smelling bath salts or some really nice perfumed soaps...I agree tho if Mom likes wearing flip flops then together with some Nail polish sounds fine coz I gather money is the issue Huh? Good Luck and Happy Birthday to your Mom Ciao ?

How long does homemade jarred antipasto last? I make this, but am afraid to keep it too long? ?

Antipasto You have to develop a taste for this. You will love it or hate it. I do not keep too long because of the tuna, altho it is in oil. Cut everything into bite-size pieces 4 cans whole mushrooms, rinsed & drained. Leave Whole 1 large head of cauliflower, parboiled, (barely cooked) 7 cans tuna in oil, do not drain 1 medium jar tiny sweet gerkin pickles, rinsed & drained. Cut up. 1 jar boiled onions, rinsed & drained. (Do not use Cocktail onions - too strong) 2 cans whole pitted black olives, rinsed & drained Leave Olives whole. 1 large jar green olives, rinsed and drained. Leave whole. 1 cup salad oil 2 cups catsup 1 cup tarrgon vinegar. Mix all the vegetables together in a large roasting pan Mix dressing ingredients and pour over everything else and mix. Put antipasto in clean glass jars ( I sterlize my jars) and lids. Refrigerate. This makes quite a lot. Maybe 5 or 6 pints. Make this at last minute and give in a gift basket. Be sure to tell people to refrigerate and use within a week or so. I don't know how long this would last safely!
--------------------
The recipes that I've read say to refrigerate and keep no longer than 10 days.

Champainge: Need to Find a good, semi-cheap champaige for an anniversary?

I work at a hotel and we try to help our guests out as much as possible. Well we know one of our favorite guests is having an anniversary coming up this week and we are putting together a gift basket for them. It'll have Champiange, wine glasses, roses, bubble bath, etc. in it. But I dont drink Champainge a lot. So i have no clue whats good, whats bad, whats really expensive and whats cheap. If anyone can offer me any kind of help with this Myself and the rest of the staff would be very pleased! We try to make our guests feel right at home so we dont want to give them a crappy champainge. Thanks
--------------------
An upscale restaurant in our town just had a champagne tasting. The results were surprising and refreshing - you don't need to spend a fortune on a good bottle of champagne. Here are the favorites: 1. Barefoot Bubbly (about $9 / bottle) 2. Korbel Brut, extra dry (about $12 / bottle) 3. Cristalino Brut (about $10 / bottle) 4. Brickstone Cellars Extra Dry (about $5 / bottle) and #5 is our favorite - Prosecco Italian sparkling wine ($13 / bottle)

My 21 yearold sister REFUSES to talk to me?

Because I got pregnant before she did. I think its such a stupid reason. My pregnancy wasn't planned, which she claims it was...(She lives in New York; aka the other side of the country..(i live in California) AND she recently moved back to be with family.) Now shes living with us for a Little while, before she moves to a condo in the summer. Im due in June (June 16th). And I have enough stress with a few friends. Ive had a job since i was 14, and i had no plan to get pregnant, I just have a-lot of money saved. We went to a family meeting session in L.A earlier in the week, and she STILL will NOT talk to me, i wrote her a 4 page paper on how i didn't not plan my pregnancy, I also made her a little gift basket and everything. Im just about to give up on it, but I want her to be apart of her Nieces life. What else could/can I do?
--------------------
she is probably disappointed in you.. i don't think it's b/c you got pregnant first. i am the oldest of 7. and if my 16 year old sister got pregnant, i would be very disappointed in her... and it wouldn't matter where in the world i lived. she probably wanted more for you. and i was totally feeling you and not understanding what your sisters deal was... but than i saw your age. dude your a kid and that is exactly what her problem is. i do however respect the fact that you are taking responsibility... but in saying that how much can you take when you live at home and how much could you really have saved after only working 2 years.... and you live in the states where minimum wage is peanuts. im sorry darling but babies are very expensive. back to your sister, i can understand that you have reached out to her with the letter and basket... i say give her time. let her get over it on her own time. i dont know how close you are but it would be a hard thing for me to deal with. I guarantee you when that baby gets here, she will be involved and all this will be in the past. Babies are a wonderful thing no matter what the situation. good luck and take care of that baby.

Moving overseas, wondering if I should contact her one last time?

Long story short, there is a friend of mine I havent talked to in about a month. I made her quite mad. Due to a death in my family, I am moving back overseas and probably will not return to the States for a very long time. Should I contact her one last time? I was thinking of sending a fruit gift basket with a little note attached or should I just leave things the way they are? I have sent a letter of apology to her via regular mail and flowers and no response on her end. I just hate leaving things unsaid. What would be some of the polite things to send to her?
--------------------
What have you left unsaid? You have tried; either she has rejected or neither the letter nor the flowers were delivered. Since you sent two items, you have redundant backup -- I would doubt that BOTH missed their way. If you didn't say you were moving overseas in the letter, you could try one more time with that information, but if you did say that before, then you've already said it, and the ball is in her court, and she just chooses not to serve it back; tossing more at her won't change anything and might just anger her more.

What do you think of this party?

One of my clients want this party. What do you think of it? Please ask your child! She is turning 10! Ask your child all about it! Ask them if they would come to it! Please! This is my clients daughters request (BTW I am a party planner): Invitations- They will send their invites online on EVites. I recommended that to them, because it saves some money. They sent their invites on email. All the girls came! The invites had a design and it had all the info. Info of the party: This is a Bunco Party. The girls will eat dinner, play Bunco and have a sleepover. I am basically the director, that is why the mother hired me, to keep control. We will have 30 girls at the party, counting the birthday girl. We will have parent volunteers helping out at each table to make it easy. The party will start off down stairs with music, dinner, cake and ice cream. Then they will play Bunco. Then they will open presents while parents are tabulating the winners. The winner, 1st runner up and loser gets a gift basket with little things. Then the girls will get in PJ's, set up sleeping bags and have a sleepover. Then they will watch a movie, then they would have a good breakfast in the morning. They would have an awesome goody bag, and we would have a lot of snacks! At each table, when they are playing, they would have a bowl of snacks. We will also serve smoothies and take lots of pictures!
--------------------
First of all, no kid thats ten years old knows what the heck Bunco is. I'm thirteen and I don't.. And kids aren't this schedulized in: eat, play party, movie, sleep. No its not that simple. They'll be wanting to run wild and do makeovers and stuff. And half the people don't check their e-mails that often.

Is there an explanation for a winning streak?

Scientific or otherwise? I had just been thinking of one year in my life. I won a New Year's Eve weekend package for two, an all-inclusive vacation package to Las Vegas for two, a drawing for $500, a promo from Dr Pepper for a skate board, $1,500 cash from a radio station, a music gift basket (CDs, concert tickets, etc), $5,000 from the lottery, and various scratch off tickets from the lottery. All in about 18 months. It was so much that friends were asking me to play the lottery for them, and I ended up giving some of the prizes away because I felt it was unfair that I had won so much. Since then, I still buy raffle tickets from kids and put my name in for drawings here and there, but the most I have won was a weekend at a water park. I'm not complaining! I am very fortunate and don't need prizes though I like to win. I am not the only one who has had winning streaks. What causes them or are they really just random? At the time of my streak, I had just graduated college and didn't have much money.
--------------------
That certainly all is very lucky, but I wouldn't exactly classify it as a winning streak per say. I would call it a lucky year, but its open for interpretation. There's no real, concrete definition for "winning streak", but I would define it as constant winning without any losses in a certain game or odds. Generally, winning streaks are in the same context or game, such as finishing first in a race numerous times, without any losses in between. I suppose you could say you had a lucky streak. This is all in my opinion at least.

Will this coupon work?

I'm a young dad, desperately trying to help my wife out with paying for the kids diapers. We really haven't had much luck in the couponing space, and every time I submit for one of those "win a baby gift basket" things I've gotten 800 spam emails. I'm sure you can understand why I'm hesitant to believe these kind of offers any more. That being said, I've ran across this deal that seems a little more legit: $10 off a purchase of $50 or more. Is this site, 1diapercoupon.com, reliable? Is the recipient site, diapers.com, reliable? please help! http://1diapercoupon.com/pampers.com
--------------------
Yes Diapers.com is very reliable- my sister orders my nephews diapers from there! I believe if you go to the website that is one of their advertised deals! They have wayyyy more than just diapers too! Good Luck!

Valentine hand written Card Message, Please pick 1 of 3..?

So i have a nice gift basket and everything already made and ready for tomorrow to give to her before i take her out for dinner but i just need to decide what to write in the card for sure. I have 3 versions of pretty much the same thing, which do you think sounds best? 1. We have had our ups and downs, but through it all, I've never stopped loving you. I never could that's because the very things that made me love you in the beginning will always make me love you. In fact some of the biggest differences we've had are the things that drew us together. That must be because we need eachother, not just in a romantic way, but in everyway that it's possible for two people to be close and care. And so on Valentines Day I just wanted to say that even though we've had some tough times I still love you… that will never change.

Help!! Baby registry questions?

I recently made my first ever baby registry and it had to be one of the most confusing things I have ever done, some things just did not seem essential!! Here's a few questions for experienced moms who have gone through this and know what you NEED and what is just luxury, and a few questions in between :) THERES A LOT!! haha 1. When it comes to the baby bottle sterilizer, if you get a certain brand of sterilizer will only bottles of THAT BRAND fit in the sterilizer or can you buy different brands? 2. What are the essentials of crib bedding? I know the obvious cute blanket set, but what are all these sheet protectors, etc? 3. Do you really need cloth diapers? 4. Is it easier to just request toiletry gift basket sets or select each certain kind of shampoo/baby wash you want? 5. Do you suggest any MUST HAVES?
--------------------
1. If I ever want to sterilize my bottles I use the dishwasher. Or they have these bags by medela that you can use up to 20 times in the microwave to sterilize. I use them if need something sterilized quickly and don't have time to put it in the dishwasher. But for the most part I hand wash the bottles in hot soapy water. So you should maybe get the sterilizing bags, a bottle brush, and a bottle drying rack. 2. I went to a infant cpr and safety class while I was pregnant and they said nothing on the bed except for a fitted sheet. That is so that the child is not at risk for SIDS. Not even a sleep positioner or anything. But you should get a fitted waterproof mattress pads to protect your mattress. On cold nights you should have a few sleepers to keep your child warm without having to use blankets. 3. I would get one pack of cloth diapers for when your child gets diaper rash. Children who use cloth diapers don't get diaper rash as frequently as those who don't. 4. I would just get a gift basket...you will find out later what works for your baby so no use in picking out certain things right now. 5. My must haves are: - A bunch of baby gowns...it is so easy to change them with it in the middle of the night! - The swaddleme worked wonders for swaddling my daughter! - Receiving blankets, they serve multiple purposes! - The boppy pillow is awesome for nursing! I didn't nurse long, but when I did it was great! It's even good for bottle feeding too! - Breast pads if you are nursing - Plenty of comfortable nursing bras if you plan to nurse...you go through them quick! - Plenty of shirts compatible with nursing if you plan to nurse. - Bottle rack, bottle brush, sterilizing bags. - Of course the sleepers to keep her warm at night - The baby swing is great for calming her down - A TON of bibs, burp cloths, washcloths, socks, and mittens. - Plenty of onsies! - Breast pump if you plan on nursing and working. - Gas drops - Nail clippers and nail files, my baby's nails grow VERY fast! - Brush and comb, most people don't really need them because their babies are bald, but mine had like an inch and a half of hair at birth! - Extra car seat base if the baby will be going in multiple vehicles - Mobile for when you aren't in the same room. - Johnson's night time bath and lotion work GREAT for getting her to sleep. Everytime I use it she sleeps like an extra 2 hours than she normally does! - Pack n' play, I have one that has a changing pad and it can be used as a crib. I use it for downstairs so she can nap while I do what I need to do! - At least 2 waterproof crib mattress pads, and a few fitted sheets! That's all I can really think of right now. If I think of more I'll add to the list!

JEWS - Should Israel's State-Sanctioned Persecution Of Messianic Jews End?

When the state of Israel and its citizens discriminate against Messianic Jews for their beliefs, they are betraying the very core of the ground on which Israel stands on? http://www.jewcy.com/post/messianic_jews From the above article, to see full article, please link "Israel's beauty shines brightest in its diversity. The country possesses one of the most culturally and physically diverse societies on the planet. No matter the kind of Jew, from Yemenite to Ethiopian to Polish, from Orthodox to Reform to secular, there is a place for you under the Mediterranean sun. Yet there is at least one group of Jews who is excluded from the Zionist mosaic. They are the Messianic Jews --- a religious community that follows a Torah inspired life-style while believing in Jesus as the Jewish Messiah. The Messianics view themselves as returning to the roots of early Christianity as aMessianic Jews Rally For Israel: Israel doesn't return the favor Jewish sect. According to Paul Liberman, author of The Fig Tree Blossoms, a messianic Jew is "a person who was born Jewish or converted to Judaism, who is a 'genuine believer' in Yeshua [Jesus], and who acknowledges his Jewishness." Practicing bi-spiritually, as it were, the Messianics stand outside the theological and historic spheres of normative Judaism and Christianity. Yet according to their own beliefs, they are engaged in an authentic expression of Judaism. In fact, they consider themselves "complete Jews." Around the world the Messianic Jewish community number roughly 350,000. In Israel they stand at 15,000 and have over 120 different congregations. Not surprisingly, from their inception the Messianics have managed to rouse the ire of the ultra-Orthodox and (to a lesser extent) secular communities in Israel. That anger has frequently turned into aggressive physical and verbal confrontations precipitated by religious radicals (Jews and Arabs) who oppose the presence of what in their view are dangerous missionizing Christians (in contrast to the fact that not a single Messianic Jew has ever stood trial for illegal missionary activity --- e.g. forced conversion, or conversion of minors). Most recently, in the settlement of Ariel, a bomb planted under a Purim gift-basket left a 15 year-old boy belonging to a prominent family of Messianic Jews in critical condition. * In addition to being targets of persecution at the hand of religious radicals, the Israeli Messianic Jews Dedicate A Cemetary Messianics have also faced state-sanctioned discrimination. The Ministry of the Interior, with the backing of the Supreme Court, has rejected the appeals of Messianics for Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return. The argument being that since Messianics believe in Jesus, they either belong to another faith, or in the case of Jewish-born Messianics, have willingly converted into another faith, and therefore have forfeited their right to make Aliyah as Jews. In addition, the government has also discriminated against Messianic Jews who have migrated to Israel by refusing to renew their passports, register their newborns, firing them from government posts, and in some cases revoking their citizenship. While historically some Messianics have been gentile "philo-Semites" who have used the cover of Judaism as a Trojan horse to enter Israel with the purpose of turning it into a Christian nation, for the most part the Messianic community in Israel is made of upstanding citizens (most of whom were born Jewish) who go into the army (unlike most of their haredi antagonists), pay their taxes, vote, are peaceful, and lead a quite Jewish lifestyle. Their situation forces us to ask the uncomfortable question: Should people who have chosen to practice and interpret their Judaism differently from the majority (which itself was never hegemonic or monolithic), live in a (Jewish) state of fear and persecution? It seems that the unholy alliance between state and the ultra-Orthodox establishmentIsrael Defense Forces: Messianic Jews serve in the IDF, but do not have the same rights as Haredim who do not has created the absurd reality of inverse crypto-Judaism: Where in the medieval era Jews who had converted to Christianity kept their Judaism in secret, today many Messianics feel compelled to hide their beliefs from the rest of Israeli society. The price of disclosure may not be a visit to the Israeli equivalent of the Spanish Inquisition, yet social ostracism, harassment, bullying, and state-sanctioned discrimination is enough to keep many (though not all) living secret lives. From its beginnings the twin purpose of Zionism has been the creation of a safe haven for Jewish people(s) and culture(s). Likewise, the Declaration of the establishment of the state of Israel promises to "open the gates of the homeland wide to every Jew," and guarantees freedom of religion to all. Yet when organs of the state and its citizens discriminate against certain Jews for their beliefs, they are be
--------------------
Reports of Israel's Anti Christian activities are isolated incidents and not government policy. They hold Messianic Jews in low regard however. Yes it should. What a person thinks about another person is does not make them what they are. Basically there are two kinds of Jews. Messianic Jews and Non Messianic Jews. There are also Christians and Messianics. Some Non Messianic Jews insist in defining Messianic Judaism as a form of Christianity. They also tell you that only Jews get to decide who Jews are. In the same breath they tell you who Christians are. In this way they get to define Christianity yet and at the same time Christians don't have a right to decide who Christians are. Non Jews don't believe that Messianic Jews are necessarily Christians. People calling themselves Messianic Jews are as diverse in beliefs and practices as Non Messianic Jews or even Christians, so it's hard to pin down universal beliefs that some here insist that they have. A person becomes a Jew by being born of a Jewish mother or converting to Judaism. Once a person is a Jew they are always a Jew. There is one exception for some people belief that Jesus is the Messiah. Jews will tell you that Messianic Jews have joined another religion and that they stop being Jews at the moment of joining. At the same time you have Jews practicing Paganism (Jewitch), becoming Buddhists (Jewbu) and joining the Unitarian Church and they will say that they are still Jews. Yet you will never see any complaints about that. (please google these terms and see for yourself.) All of these religions have a very different understanding of who God is but they will tell you that belief in Jesus invalidate a persons Jewishness because they have a different understanding of who God is. They will accept the Pagan Buddhist and Unitarian influences on Jewish practice but not from Jesus. Some will even admit that Jesus just taught traditional Judaism but wasn't anything special even though he taught others that he was the Messiah. Jews will admit that Christianity started out as a sect of Judaism and that Jesus and all the apostles were Jews. They will also tell you that Jews that are trying to live that life are not Jews. So you know that all the rules are being bent for this one group. It's just a matter of prejudice. Someone asked a question about worshiping the Fire God Ferris here on Yahoo. The focus of the question was" ...would you PERSONALLY feel comfortable welcoming me not just as a fellow congregant at your Synagogue, but as a member of the Tribe?" (so he was clearly asking about converting to Judaism). The response was "Reform Judaism covers a wide swath of beliefs and practices and I am sure you will be wholly accepted. ... I personally would accept you whole heartily as a fellow Jew." Some Jews can go around proclaiming that a hybridization of Judaism and Paganism is OK but belief that Yeshua is the Messiah is not. As one person said "we've become one big new religion." This is how Israel views the reform Movement "Conversions performed by the Reform movement in Israel are also not recognized by religious or state authorities. Arguing that their conversion procedures should be registered in accordance with civil law, the Reform and Conservative movements petitioned the Supreme Court in 1995 to have their converts registered under the Population Registry Law. As noted earlier, the head of the Conversion Authority in the Chief Rabbinate's office, Rabbi Israel Rosen, was prepared to allow Reform conversions as long as they were registered as such in the Population Registry, since he views Reform as a different sect. The Supreme Court had actually considered the analogy of comparing Reform Judaism with other sects, specifically, the Karaites, when it had earlier deliberated the recognition of Reform rabbis for registering marriages. The court found a basic difference between the Karaites and Reform, in that membership in the Karaites is based upon birth while membership in Reform is based upon belief. The Reform movement is still not obtaining the political support in Israel that it needs for its recognition, and more importantly, it also lacks the active mass support of the Israeli public. The Majority of the most vocal opponents of Messianic Judaism here on Yahoo are Reform Jews many of whom are Converts who's conversions are not recognized by Israel or any other Jewish sect. You don't need a degree in Psychology to understand where their feelings about the Messianics are coming from.
