Summary: Gag me with a tire iron!

As a Jew married to a Gentile who is the daughter of a Jew who got his
fiancee to convert, I agree that the pressure put upon Gentile partners
of Jews to convert is absurd; it really ticks me off that many rabbis
would rather give a Jew up for dead than marry them to a non-Jew.

I saw what kind of Jew my mother became and decided that it was absurd
to ask my husband to convert.  I'd rather have a non-Jew for a spouse
than a pseudo-Jew any day!
