Seriously, though- I know, as do many others here, just how stressful the decision can be. While it's freeing, it's not without a price. I will never understand how anyone could turn their back to a loved one just because they aren't involved in the same religious organisation. You may be surprised by how many others feel the same way, Traci- maybe you won't get the reaction you expect from some of your family and friends. It's entirely possible that some of them are wrestling with the same or similar issues.
