Alan added as Pagan Special Interest Advisor.
V-Tog added as Assistant Pastor (and description for Associate and Assistant Pastor changed)
MCSH added as Clerical Communications Secretary
tzb added as Clerical Recording Secretary

Also please note that a new page for information about minors and parents has been written and the FaQ updated accordingly:

http://www.templeofthejediorder.org/component/content/article/40-information/2104-information-for-youth-members-and-parents
http://www.templeofthejediorder.org/faq#RulesforMinors

This is part of a long process of shortening the FaQ by concentrating more information on specific and more easy-to-read pages.

Lots of miscellaneous stuff like fixing links.

I have consolidated every Youth FaQ into the new Youth FaQ: http://www.templeofthejediorder.org/component/content/article/40-information/2107-youth-faq which has cut down on a lot of words and should make it easier to find all of the Youth info.

Edited this page a little: http://www.templeofthejediorder.org/ordermembership by combining some stuff with the Oath article: http://www.templeofthejediorder.org/component/content/article/40-information/2078-the-oaths-of-temple-of-the-jedi-order

Faq 16 which was formally 'additional ranks/offices' is now combined with faq offices. http://www.templeofthejediorder.org/faq#Offices
Clerical ranks faq was removed. Clergy faq title was edited to include mention of clerical ranks, which now links to the clergy article: http://www.templeofthejediorder.org/clergy

Because I do not currently have proper access to a computer several articles have formatting errors I cannot fix (because for some reason my table is unable to view the html code version of the articles), I will fix them when I get the chance.

I am also looking into getting rid of the 'Don't the clerical offices sound awfully catholic' faq too. Probably mention it in the clery article. EDIT I just did exactly that

Finished merging all of the offices into one section: http://www.templeofthejediorder.org/faq#Offices

Also removed lots of redundant words, there was a lot of "The current [insert office title] is: [name]" changed to "[insert office title]: [name]"

As Wes and I will probably be the ones to deal with issues of security.. Go ahead and list me, and remove Phortis...

... The forum moderators are (supposed to be) the security officers ...

Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.

With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

When I arrived, Wes and Phortis were shown beneath each forum as the mods, and they were listed as "Security Officers" in the FAQ. I always assumed that the office was called that, but the forum software just defaulted to "Moderator".

That post is moved to the council forums, but you made it on the 16th December 2013 saying to

faithfully execute the Office of Security Officer

The Role of the Security Officer is maninly to ensure the quality of our site remains high in terms of content and behaviour of its members. We are NOT a 'police' force, more of a moderation team, but given the varied elements of this site, moderator does not quite cover all bases.

They are here to maintain standards and make sure our rules are followed, if you are unsure of these they are in the FAQ in the following link:


I only put in the FAQ what is agreed upon in the Temple lol.

If you want to introduce the office of moderator then we can.

In fact all of these offices should be looked over again, whether we actually need them and so forth. The people who have left should also resign from them (and there should be no stigma attached to that).

This is correct....

And Phortis did resign.. I think Adhara (maybe Adder) was asked then...

Ren used to watch over the people and their oaths... Either you or I needs to... Or both, lol...

Whatever the case is we should contact everyone and have a post made here: http://www.templeofthejediorder.org/forum/offices

Then make sure that they have the corresponding oath of office taken for council records. We should probably have an 'Oath of Resignation' too, an official 'Statement of Resignation' rather, for council records.

The Office announcement sub-forum is just that 'announcement', it shouldn't be used in any other official capacity for record keeping.
