Am I in trouble with Judaism?

My parents say my father's line and mother's line is Jewish because of their Mormon patriarchal blessings (through Ephraim). I am mostly British. I have been circumcised but not by a Mohel.

There is always a chance that I'll want to convert to Judaism bad enough to do it. I want to study the Torah next year when I'm not too busy and have studied it on non-busy days since I started that other thread. I kept the Hebrew Sabbath today because I wanted to. I started using electricity accidentally 1 minute before sunset and I touched some traffic lights in the day, so perhaps I kept it. It turned out to be very productive and I got dozens of pages worth of ideas for a book I'm writing. I want to keep doing it.

But I want to be friends with the Jewish state, so what should I do?

If by "friends with the Jewish state" you mean "supportive of it", then you don't need to be Jewish to do that. There are plenty of people of other faiths who are supportive of it and there are plenty of Jews who are not. Keeping the Sabbath or any other Jewish Law, isn't going to make a difference in that regard whatsoever.

No it doesn't. But that's all I'm going to say on the subject, as this is the Judaism DIR. I'm actually glad it is, though, because I can see this thread turning really nasty really fast. I'm glad I have a good excuse not to participate in it.

Whatever religious belief one espouses, if love is not the main ingredient, than you have nothing.

Blessings, AJ

I'm trying to understand you here. Are you saying that you are quoting this text and its not yours?
Like its possible to have a text that belongs to a certain person or group that won't get appropriated by another person or group and taken as their own? I'm trying really hard to understand that concept here on RF. Really, really hard.

PopeaDope, I like all religions but have restrictions in joining some because of others so that I am looking for what I can join right now... I understand that it's possible I'm not wanted in Judaism. This does not offend me.

Some people are afraid everything is offensive to Jews.

My mom was like that. She wouldn't want men dancing with women for fear of offending the one Jew at the party.

It would be more accurate to say that there are conditions that you would need to meet in order to join that you probably have no intent to fulfill given your upcoming religious affiliation. Judaism doesn't have a revolving door policy.
