> In the post in question, the poster telling me to save myself first by converting to Christianity from Judaism has many {implications}.One implication is that since I am a Jew, that Judaism does not lead to being saved and that Christianity does.
I see that not as an implication, but as jumping to a conclusion. Since he just said you, not all Jews.
> {pressure } is defined more than one way. One way is by repeated questioning or repeated statements, but another is by what any consequences could be to the recipient if they do not do what is said for the subject person to do. An example hypothetically could be if one poster tells another poster that they are to convert to Christianity or they will not be saved. The {consequences} of not being saved could be considered by a subset of readers to be {pressuring} the subject person.
That's a good point, but he didn't mention any consequences.

It turns out that's this thread. :-) So let's move on?
