My dreams of a self-moderated community simply didn't happen, and the forum has now decayed into something unbearably ugly. As a result I have made the forum read-only. Be mindful when reading this forum, there are all sorts of people claiming all sorts of things on the internet, and the Jedi community is a perfect example of that.
I have no time to work on administrating this forum, and would rather spend the little time I get to have fun, or do something useful.
TJW will come back, and not only as a forum. In fact maybe not as a forum at all. I've been working on this for almost a year (a.k.a a few hours
, spare time is rare). Expect more articles, more features, a better looking site and most importantly, much, much tougher rules.TJW first fell as the moderator team was too big, JUSTJedi because Em wanted it to be "everyone's website". I have joined their ranks, with that bitter taste in my mouth.

Countless men and women amongst us, both common, and giant, have been influenced by history: historical acts; historical figures; and historical groups. Generals; politicians; and business leaders continue to draw also from fables and mythology. Chaucer's tales, brothers grim, Aesops tales, Homer's Iliad and Odessy to name an important few. These have connected with people in such ways as to influence groups and individuals to aspire to greater things. Our history owes many things to men's actions who were inspired by stories.
The community of Jediism today, those who connected with the stories in Star Wars, share the belief in an open concept of divine power known as 'the Force'. Many aspire further to the concepts in the stories, living thier lives similarly to that which they connected with in these tales, with many of those who, by extrapolation, are living life as a full Jedi in todays world.
Many people ask, how can Jediism be a religion? The definition of religion states that religion is a group of people who share a common belief. The Force is our religion and in that, it is not a question of belief in a God or not, for us it simply doesn't come into play as we believe the guidance of the Force will bring us to a course of right action. As a result, some have been guided to a belief in a God and others have not, but all believe that the Force will set them on their best path possible. We all walk our own path in Jediism. That is to say, none of us all believe and interpret the exact same things on many aspects of the Jedi path. On this website you will find a description of what a Jedi is and what it means to be a member of Jediism. Throughout this site you will find the foundation of the house, from there it is up to the individual to build the house on top of the foundation.
