[edit] What´s the idea with this article?

Why did these people convert from protestantism? and what did they convert to?

And i also miss sources? --Comanche cph 23:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Protestantism is really a blanket term for several, not entirely related, denominations. I've done a bit trying to fix this article to reflect that. I'm also not counting former Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, or Anglicans. There's so many Anglicans that became Catholic in the period of 1850-1950 it'd be too redundant with List of Catholic converts. Also some don't count them as Protestant. I'm uncertain what to do with former adherents of Christian Science or Quakerism.--T. Anthony 10:11, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Make Former Christian Scientists into a seperate article.

Also it says Britney Spears on the article isn't protestant anymore because she is interested in kabbalah that is as stupid as saying a catholic that does yoga isn't catholic anymore.

I tried to remove her, not sure I did due to a glitch, but I thought the Kabbalah center was an actual religious movement. Anyway these need sourced, but I'm wanting to be less active in December.--T. Anthony 17:22, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Qualifications for inclusion of "List of former (x)s"

I have recently started a thread at Talk:List of notable converts to Christianity#Qualifications for inclusion of "List of former (x)s" in which I am hoping we can standardize the qualifications for inclusion in such lists. Any constructive comments would be more than welcome. John Carter 14:56, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] britney et al

tina turner is/was a baptist. britney no more believe in a personal god or in any baptist doctrine. a catholic can´t believe in yoga, according to official declarations by pope himself, when him was a cardinal.

[edit] Converts to Mormonism okay to add?

I'm guessing ministers and preachers who joined Mormonism would be seen as people who left Protestantism. Mormonism, even the Community of Christ variant, still isn't deemed a Protestant denomination correct?--T. Anthony (talk) 11:02, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
