[ironcross]

ok now i feel better

[Vemynal]

Well...trekies and oprah fans are said to be cult like with some people...

 

starwars is the same for others...

 

just to get the religion ratified as an official religion...wow...

[Corki]

However much I would love to be a Jedi Knight (lightsabers are COOL), this is stupid!

[Naeann]

Yeah... I also heard that there is a bible in the Klingon language.

[Guest Far Dareis Mai]

AHHAhahahahahahahahahaahahahahhahahahah!

 

 

ahem....lol. >:D

[Tenshin_Xo]

Wow I thought I was a geek.  So how do I go about becoming a Jedi?

[Guest Far Dareis Mai]

I imagine you have to be tested for medichlorians (sp). Then if you have the right amount, you get hooked up with a Jedi Master, and he/she starts referring to you as their young paduwan(again, sp). Then after many many years training with a rat tail, you become one with the force. Forget about relationships though, since it hinders your force oneness....yeah.

 

Have I laughed in this thread yet? ;)

[ironcross]

heres the "official" web site for the "church"

[Silver]

and yet you don't post a link :P

[Corki]

Maybe you need to use the Force to see it? Or just use Google!!  ;D

Actually, the people of Austrailia made Jedi their religion a few years back.  On their census data, many people put Jedi as their religion, enough so it is a recognized religion.

 

I have put Jedi as my religion on the 2000 census, and I plan to put Sith as my religion for the 2010 Census.

 

There is no peace; there is anger.

There is no fear; there is power.

There is no death; there is immortality.

There is no weakness; there is the Dark Side.

 

[Shendare]

Huh, that's a little different from the KotOR version:

 

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

Through passion I gain strength.

Through strength I gain power.

Through power I gain victory.

Through victory my chains are broken.

[Jelly]

Ha...well I think that's great! :D Why not?

Now to convince people that the One Power exists...

I've just stumbled across their website, and the greatest number of "Jedi's" are students. And most come from the UK. And there is an order not that far away from where I live back in Wales. Well, it's a couple of hours, but it's scary!

[Segurant]

My favorite part about the website is the typos.

[Tenshin_Xo]

I like this quote from their "Official Doctrine Page".

 

The Jedi church has no official doctrine

[Niamh Sedai]

I want to be married by a Jedi Minister!!

[ironcross]

and yet you don't post a link :P

 

i put it in there i wonder what happend to it

 

 

on a side note i second the motion to make the one power a religon  :-P

[Kaznen]

I'm all for starting a Church of The Wheel of Time.

 

Based on what is in the books, it would make more sense then Scientology.

[Jelly]

Not a church; a White Tower! ;D

[Silver]

Hmm, what would a Church of WoT be like? Talks about the Creator and Dark One?

[Vemynal]

oh oh! can I be a darkfriend?

[ironcross]

no we kill dark friends

[Shendare]

Nobody expects the Randland Inquisition!

[Tenshin_Xo]

Unless you where white of course. :D  Then you're open for inquisition 24/7 like the seven eleven of religious persecution. ;)
