Hey, I'm a convert from Catholicism (one of those "I was raised in it but never bought it" type things) and I have a big head!
I wouldn't take it too seriously. Seems like a stupid comment coming from a stupid kid.

when did you convert , like how long ago?
I'm like you i was brought up cathlic in a really cathlic family, but i never fit in. I'm kind of in a slow process of converting.

Pretty recently, ish. I'm in a Reconstructionist congregation so I'm not even sure there is a formal conversion ceremony. x_o I really hated Catholicism a lot so I just quit going to church, and spent my time studying Judaism instead 3nodding

Silly question, but how long did it take? My friend may want to convert, but I don't know how serious she'll be when I tell her the work involved.

I think she wants to learn when I get around to getting my bat mitvah. (my parents never bothered with me neutral , but it's something I want to do when I have the resources.)

it's not the converting that's alot of work, it's what comes after.

then again, that's just my view, and hardly anyone gives half a damn stare ...

i'm pretty sure you've had your 12th birthday. for girls, that's about it. and a party. but i'm sure you get enough of that.

Well, Beth Am lets anyone who wants to uphold Jewish law in 3nodding but, if your friend is looking to join a more traditional synagogue, it will certainly take more work than that, both in preperation for conversion and the adjusting to a whole new lifestyle!

I will probably celebrate becoming a bat mitzvah eventually, but right now I'm pretty financially dependant (I'm 16...) but someday 3nodding

In a Conservative conversion, you often have to be more observant than the majority of the congregation, because you have to be following the laws (most of them... the modesty ones for women tend to be ignored, as well as a few others) to convert, and in a Conservative congregation, the vast majority ignore at least some of them. *from own experience in assorted Conservative synagouges*

As for the being 12 and having a party, that's only Orthodox. Conservative Jewish young women have their Bat Mitzvahs at 12 or 13, and in most of these congregations, do the same as the boys. (Same in Reform). In this one synagouge that was borderline between Orthodox and Conservative, the Bat Mitzvah read Haftorah and did a D'var. For my Bat Mitzvah, I lead Shacharit, had an Aliyah, did half the Torah service (too many kids... had to share. Other person did other half the Torah service, and half the Haftorah. I did the other half). I also read Torah. I would have lead Musaf, but my dad didn't want me showing up the MALE person I HAD to share with. *shrug* I knew more than he did. I knew more than most Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. I still read Torah occasionally.

Zonko, not all of us are Orthodox, and to many of us who aren't, and are female. (Perhaps all, but I don't know) the Bat Mitzvah is an important event.
