It is easy to criticize when it appears there is no movement.
However, were the hierarchy here to move quickly and make mistakes (which happens no matter the speed, it is just easier to fix at a slower speed, instead of having to backtrack a great distance), that too, would be critcized.
We do not know what is going on within the higher levels. Since my beginnings here, the initiates program has changed, the rankings, the Marketing department, the ID cards, people moved to different posts, promotions and the like.
I cannot wait to see what will come. Or maybe my part in it.
If you haven't offered to help, then in my opinion, you haven't the right to criticize.
I have spoken to people in the physical world about Jediism. That is all I can do at this time. Well, that, and live the life as best I can.
This is not aimed at anyone, or any thread.
I do not like criticisim for it's own sake.
These are my thoughts.

Going through the Introduction Lessons, posting and telling people about Jediism IS doing something. I read a post that did irritate me a little but instead of wasting time being even a little 'dark' about it I made a sarcastic post in response to it - proofread it - laughed about it - then hit Submit.
I know there was no evil intent or real criticism in it just a wee bit of thoughtlessness and I do not want the poster to feel bad or guilty. Constructive criticism is good especially when asked for.
I had fun writing the post and I can only reread it and laugh. I'm thankful for all of you here as TOTJO is nothing more and nothing less than the sum of all of us who participate here - each in their own way.

the biggest snowman begins with the smallest snowflake.
a little thing here and a little thing there next thing you know you have this giant thing.
doing the simplest thing such as posting an introduction is a bigger step then one would think. while it may seem like you're not doing much, in actuality you are.
think about how you felt the first time you posted anything about yourself, probably a little nervous putting yourself out there for the world to see(most of these posts are searchable), probably a little ashamed or scared of being labeled should someone you know find out...yet you posted anyway...taking a big leap of faith and trusting in some higher power....that my friends is doing something....

Warning: Spoiler!
There is passion, yet there is peace
Through passion I gain strength and knowledge
Through strength and knowledge I gain victory
Through victory I gain peace and harmony
Through peace and harmony my chains are broken
There is no death, there is the force and it shall free me
