Yes. Martin Luther was very interested in converting Jews to his new church, and when friendly outreach did not bring many converts, he got angry and wrote a rather nasty pamphlet "On the Jews and their Lies." This led to a long period when Lutheran rulers in Germany variously slaughtered, expelled or taxed their Jewish subjects. Many Jews fled east into Poland, some hung on, but some converted. Things got better after Napoleon emancipated the Jews, but with the rise of ethnic nationalism as part of the romantic movement in the late 19th century, there was a rise in discrimination against Jews and renewed pressure to convert. This climaxed in the Holocaust. Unfortunately for Jews who converted in response to ethnic nationalism, nationalists do not care as much about religion as they care about ethnicity, so from their point of view, a Jewish convert to Lutheranism is still ethnically a Jew.

Why does the Lutheran religion prohibit joining Girl Scouts?
There are many Lutheran girls who are members of Girl Scouts. In fact, there is a National Lutheran Association on Scouting which supports scouting in both Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) and Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) churches. It also supports the earning of the PRAY religious emblems. However, there are some Lutheran Synods which do not allow girls to join Girl Scouts. One of the reasons is that they do not allow public prayer, so if they were part of a Girl Scout troop, the girls would not be allowed to pray with other Girl Scouts.

Can a Catholic join another church without first being excommunicated from the Catholic Church?
Roman Catholic AnswerApostasy is the complete denial of the Christian religion, whereas heresy is the post baptismal denial of some truth of the faith that must be believed while remaining a "Christian". In the case of someone leaving the Catholic Church to join the Lutheran church, we would be talking about heresy. "Objectively, therefore, to become a heretic in the strict canonical sense and be excommunicated from the faithful, one must deny or question a truth that is taught not merely on the authority of the church but on the word of God revealed in the Scriptures or sacred tradition. " from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980If one is a Catholic and one joins a Lutheran church, then you have pretty publicly denied the faith as revealed by God and so have excommunicated yourself, by the very act of publicly repudiating the Church.
