Jediism?

I have a few questions about Jediism...
Is it a religion?
How many Jedi are in the U.S.A?
If your saying Jediism as if your saying "I'm a..." do you say Jediism, Jediist, or Jedi?
I'm new, just saying.

It can be.
Who knows?
I am a Jedi.

Hello Friend,

1. To some (meaning alot) yes it is a religion To others it is just a Spiritual practice of precepts and philosophical lessons.
2. Who knows how many! There is too many to count. Gathered Force Community is attempting to create a World Map for registered members. Perhaps one day it will help reveal to us numbers
3. Optional/Your choice. Mainly we just say "I am a Jedi." Though I have heard the other terms used.

Welcome!

Is it a religion?
For me it's being religious about living, which is Jediism, which then yes makes it a religion. Though the devil is in the detail of course.

If your saying Jediism as if your saying "I'm a..." do you say Jediism, Jediist, or Jedi?
I'd say Jedi, but it assumes understanding its the real approach and not the roleplay approach, else Jediist might be more suitable - so different titles might be more apt depending on the audience.

We like questions around here. We might get squirrelly with answers, though...

Is it a religion?

It can be. Doesn't have to be.

How many Jedi are in the U.S.A?

Not enough.

If your saying Jediism as if your saying "I'm a..." do you say Jediism, Jediist, or Jedi?

If you are a Jediist, you say "I am a Jediist."
If you're a Jedi, you say "I'm a Jedi."
If you're not sure which one you are, pick the one you think sounds coolest. There's not really a difference at any perceivable level, and there are about ten million ideas on the super-critical, ultra-technical differences between them, but they're all subjective.

Since this ISNT the Gathered Force Community, perhaps we can discuss this site?

We too have a map, located here: http://www.templeofthejediorder.org/forum/Offline-activities

No worries...

Not all members are aware of everything... We were just talking about our non-english speaking groups in the knight forum...

Thanks...
