Depends on the person. I can only example EO and that is usually a year. I remember seeing a thread on here about a former Muslim like myself and it took about 2yr plus for that guy.
I saw this, thought it was the most amazing thing.
My fiance once mentioned having any children we have learn Coptic versus Arabic or English first. Sadly, I am not the best at learning languages :(
As one of the few who have been married and divorced with children here, I can chime in a bit. I would advise this man to get over himself, as it is selfish for him to think of leaving just based on his own unhappiness. And as always there are 2 sid…
Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry over tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
I also struggle with worry over tiny things, especially the future and what if this or that happens and how to plan t…

North Carolina...land of the protestants hahaha. No really, it is.
Maybe I've been spoiled then. The Church here is like 15min away from me. I'm double torn because I haven't been baptized yet, and I am uneasy about going elsewhere just for that r…

I think you may have people who frown on your marriage or relationship in some way/shape/form no matter what, even if you are never aware of it.
That being said I don't think it would be the best to marry someone who converted just for another per…

Not sure if that is too late to reply now dear rebecca.ann, so if you have already found your answer, ignore me. I have been having unfortunate internet problems; so I am s…
I know. It is sort of a must for now sadly. I'm not done with grad school for another year, and he is taking a contract job in UAE very soon for almost the same timeframe. Plus we have yet to pin down living in the US, Egypt or both of us moving to …

I agree with Amoussa01 on this one. In my personal opinion, I cannot stand a guy who would do that. If a guy cannot trust you, you could potentially have a lot of problem…

hi, welcome! i am also on the other forum.
we get more bots here (spammers) so don't be surprise…
Thanks geomike and nice meeting you too :)
It has been hard because I lost most all of my friends and social circle, but my actual family is pretty pleased since they are all Christian as well. Looking back I had slowly been giving up Islam little …
I have not officially been re-baptized yet :)
Anyway, as weird as is sounds, probably my Muslim years. Islam took so much from the early/Orthodox Church, and I was ignorant of that for a long time. I assumed well, this is all strictly in Islam only…
