"I'm afraid I must amke a comment about someone who claimed to be into jediism. This persom has alot to learn about what it stands for. For one never pass judgement on other's. What a shame for someone to call themselves jdeiisim when in fact they are not. " -Sue
THANK YOU for pointing this out. It brings up something else I wanted to mention, but forgot to.
Every Religion has two kinds of people that make the whole look bad: Hypocrites and Extremists.
Hypocrites 'claim' to follow the Religion, but use it for something other then what it was meant for and do not follow the main points. For Jediism the example given is judging others, while it could be that this person is a Hypocrite it could also be that the person is simply a learner who has much to learn. Still, Hypocrites make the whole look bad, so please don't judge any Religion based on the acts of a few people.
Extremists don't always follow the Religion, but more often then not the case is that they consider the Religion to be law or they simply don't understand what it's about. For Jediism this was actually expressed by a couple of people who went so far as to dress in Jedi Robes, confront a U.N. politician, and INSIST that a certain peace statement be switched from 'international' to 'interstellar' or 'intergalactic'. Naturally, the demand was refused and scoffed at, but this makes anyone claiming to be Jedi look bad.
Every Religion has Hypocrites and every Religion has Extremists. Please do not judge the Religion as a whole based on the acts of a handful of the ignorant.
Yes, of course. I realized how my post was poorly worded after I had posted it, but figured I'd leave it that way to see if anyone else noticed. :) What I should have said is that I'm still learning *the basics*, I'm not that advanced yet and that is why I wouldn't consider myself to be a Master yet. As others have pointed out(mostly off this site) a Master can also be a teacher, so I could be considered a teacher/master for people here, but even then I'd prefer to be called a teacher. Or Sensai. Sensai sounds cooler to me. Sensai Ragnorok. :D
Not specifically, but I am teaching several people and helping several more learn on their own(basically just pointing them in the right direction to learn what they want to learn). A Padawan would be a specific pupil/apprentice and I have no individual apprentice as of yet. Until I have learned more I wouldn't trust myself with one. I prefer to be a guide for many then a 'father' for one.
