as for anything else this topic has covered, for my part its pretty simple: a jedi's responsibility is to promote social unity through mutual understanding, recognition of shared principles, respect for personal autonomy, and cooperation- this is true regardless of who the president is

I don't quite know what to say to the original post. Other than the fact that I am protesting nonviolently.

I will say that it bothers me to see Jedi at each others throats over this. Though it doesn't surprise me.

Let's not forget that Jorge Lucas created the jedi, and if we follow the doctrines and teachings of the jedi we are following what Jorge Lucas created "based on many religions" if each one of us start to change the code we will not be jedi, you can call yourself whathever you want but you will not be a jedi, the jedi have the code and the jedi doctrines. Its like the protestant church they become one diferent thing they are not catholic Church.
A jedi must trust in the force, in the code and in the fellow jedi, by the way i follow the first code " there is no emotion, there is peace"....

We are keepers of the peace, anger, agression that is not the jedi way!

By your "opinion" the entire Temple isn't really a Jedi Temple then, as we have adopted the middle way so to speak...

Emotion yet Peace
Ignorance yet Knowledge
Passion yet Serinity
Chaos yet harmony
Death, yet the Force...

That is the Temple's code, are we any less Jedi for it? I think not...

In terms of social sciences, if someone is a citizen of a country, they've given their tacit consent to the majority of actions therein.
It's much easier to change what forum-based internet site you visit than to move internationally, so by labeling yourself a Jedi here, you are implying that you agree with the majority of the teachings here (and thus can be judged by them).
I tend to stay away from the judging side, because I'm not an authority figure, but if you genuinely spout wrong rhetoric I'll discuss it.
Going back to one of the OP's responses that was something along the lines of

exactly. Just because I, for example, voted in the election and think that's the right thing to do doesn't mean that it's a part of Jediism. On the other hand, there's a Doctrine tab and our core teachings are reaaaalllllyyyyy flexible, but some things are a lil hard to stretch *cough* you know who you are comrade *cough*

Also, +1 to Adder

The rules are always stricter than the enforcement. Don't push the rules so that your grace credit increases.

In my opinion that midle is the same as te original code the jedi had emotions just not the bad ones i belive that is what the code mean by "there is no emotion, there is peace" is jsut the same as "emotion yet peace" i belive they are the same have emotions but not the bad ones as anger, hate, jealous all those dark feelings. And i only said that we jedi must follow the code , in this temple some of us see jediism as a religion others as a way of life, to me jedi are peaceful warriors, i study in college, train martial arts and go to the gym, and i meditade and follow the jedi code to me this is the way of a jedi, but this is my opinion.
