I decided to convert to Latvian Orthodox for this girl I was seeing. Turned out she was moving to Latvia for a year so we broke up anyway.

I actually reverted back to the Catholic Christian faith after I met Jesus personally in a Catholic Bible study in college!! Never felt this much joy and peace and purpose in my life. Consulting gives me lots to offer to Jesus as well 😅

Good question.. I was desperate for friends, didn’t like who I’d become and thought it might help me be a better guy, and also I had given up on a lot of the normal things making me happy (partying, money, prestige, popularity, beauty, intelligence, etc). Not all bad things, but I had this aching sense that they wouldn’t ultimately fulfill me, so I was looking for something more.

I actually converted from Christianity to a spiritual journey. I honestly couldn't have made a better choice.

Not sure what FB is an acronym for, but I guess I can share some experience. I was raised Catholic, and my entire family and relatives are Catholics. I came to despise the religion in my young adult life for multiple reasons: lack of acceptance of gays, abortion views, molesters among the clergy, etc. Furthermore, I became to doubt the church’s teaching as well as question the existence of a god. This marked my conversion from a catholic to an agnostic which was slowly followed by self-identification as an atheist. My current partner is a non-orthodox Jew and understands my religious beliefs. I’m leaning towards converting to Judaism as I see myself marrying this woman and intend to move to Israel with her some time in the future as she is from there. This conversion is not only for her, but also my desire to ground myself in principles, something I feel I have lacked as I have strayed from the faith over the years. While I may not believe, at least I am surrounding myself by a community of people grounded in morals. My mother’s reaction has been what would be expected: disappointment and sadness. While I care about her feelings, I’m not going to orient my religious beliefs around her emotional well-being; that wouldn’t be authentic or fair to who I am.

I have been selected at citi but HR is unable to release offer letter.

HR is checking my SP ID or GP ID which was allocated to me in the past but I don't recall it is. HR is checking this with US team and this process is taking time. If they cannot extract it due to some reason, will they release my offer letter? Please clarify this.
