Should Gentiles be discouraged from converting to Judaism?

[Tarheeler]

I don't think you have to make an official announcement, but I don't think anyone is going to convert you if you express a belief in Jesus being a prophet or god or whatnot.

My signed statement to the beit din included an official announcement.

Oh, wow. I didn't know that. I wonder if Orthodox conversions have that too.

Let me just mention that more liberal branches of Judaism generally do allow for intermarriage, but not without a lotta questions and agreements first.

Why would anyone want to convert? It is a burden to be Jewish.

When you are raised with actual idols, your motivation is pretty high, and alternatives are pretty few.

I can't remember a time when I did not want to convert away,, even as a child. One of my earliest (and traumatic) memories is of an idol.
