No...I was married to a Catholic for 20 years.....When a Catholic priest refused to marry us because I wouldn't commit to the faith, I decided to learn about all religions and have spent the last 30 years reading about all of them....
I really think that the people that have claimed Jedi as their religion, do so because they like the name and have adopted it from Lucas...but you are correct.... they have adopted a number of different religions by taking the best part of each.

[glow=blue,3,0000]I started to research religion, but I've almost given up. You spent 30 years... and I've only spent 2. Is it worth it? Or will I feel just as lost at the end as I do now? ::is currently the cynic of his church::[/glow]

Eqin, Don't stop. Just cuz there's a few jerks out there, it shouldn't turn you off to God at all. There are hyporcrites in every religion. Main thing is having a relationSHIP with God not a religion. THis si where people get messed up. Watch the person's actions.

Well, Eqin....I have enjoyed my research...A lot of times I found that I was angry at it all, when learning of all the atrosities carried out in the name of religion....Don't stop learning. Knowledge is power, even if no one knows you have it......When you have the power of knowledge, no one can sway or demean the way you feel.......

[glow=blue,3,0000]Mynn - Thanks. I know what you're saying, but I'm afraid my problem is a little more complicated . You're right... someone shouldn't leave just 'cause of a few finger-pointing idiots. But when they disagree with the doctrine, there isn't much they can do.
Em - Thanks. I'll keep looking. [/glow]

I do not understand why the way of the jedi or jediism is spooky or watever ppl call it i for one can say i support it just because i have looked at wat they believe and it is really a good way to live. honor trust lolalty good not evil no anger fear hate egrseeion or suffering but peace. and it was thought on some sites say in 1966. ppl can call it wat they want but i can say that it is a good thing.

They don't have any 'set ciriculum' it's mainly from each person's opinions. At times that can be VERY chaotic. SOme order needs to be in palce , ya' set thigns that are reeliable and all so people know what is the 'norm'. As to your post about weird stuff happening when you've meditatied? No problem. I can help ya out with that stuff. Been there done that. :-D

It is really nice to see some of our old threads re-visited.... but also sad...in a way.... Posts from Ryss, Eqin, and some of our other members that have "disappeared" are always a source of sadness for me....

Yeah, I hope those two come back. At least Ryss we know is alive and well. And Tek and Toba are still MIA.
