I've even found out whats involved in this conversion thing... Apparently i would be required to recite some creed infront of their members... Which i would not do... Im not going to lie to a group of people and state something i know is incorrect

Then you wouldn't be 'converted' and you'd be living a lie.
Honestly, I don't know how you can even stomach any of this
especially for a person who doesn't respect you.

Where'd you get all them stars by the way?
what say you lend this kitty a few thousand?
You already don't RESPECT the church that she has already become entrenched in.
Adorable when she's mad, eh? Not a good sign.
I believe that God is going to pull off some super dramatic supernatural demonstrations of His authenticity and supremacy as things begin to fall apart wholesale on the planet.
How convincing such will be toward a durable relationship with him--from your perspective--could be interesting to observe.
...I haven't heard mention of anything (of commensurate significance) that has been 'sacraficed' by her in the relationship
...all I keep seeing is more and more sacrifices from you because...'she told me that IF we were to be together in the future, I would have to...' - this is basically saying 'I'm in complete control here, if you don't do what I ask, I'm outta here - singing heart, or not...bye, bye'.
It must be mentioned, even IF you fulfill the cascade of 'conditions'...you will still be dealing with manipulation...this 'relationship' does not seem like it is based (in any way) on equal terms...why would you expect it to change in that respect?

I haven't asked anything of her... I like her as she is

I've only stated what i'd be willing to do... lets all keep in mind I've known this girl for about 1.5 months...

Because I am who I am... and I can't be anything less or more then who I am.... And she likes that
my comment revolves around cascading demands by her, with the obvious 'we CANNOT be together if you do not meet those demands'...

Dude, she says it because she means it. You would be the last to accuse her of being a liar...and under the scenario you have presented...my guess is that the phrase has been used more than once...and there is no guarantee that it will not be used over and over again...because it works...
Don't get too high then...it'll hurt more from higher up...
