OK i understand what you all have concerns about and i respect them but i am tired of re explaining this when it never gets completely understood so i'm done with explaining if you really care enough to find the absolute truth then you can contact me but i'm done with this topic.
What is Absolute Truth?

I can also understand the idea behind all of this, the idea of an established, serious Jedi Community. It somehow reminds me of the Jedi community presented in the Star Wars saga. The problem I see here, is that we already live in an established society full or regulations, warnings, guidelines... . At least for me, this is quite enough to be getting on with. As Jedi we have to our best in the society we find ourselves in, trying to respect and uphold that society. If the Jedi were organised with a power authority, this would present each Jedi with the dilemma of who has primary authority: the state or the UJ. Because do not think that society will idley sit back and watch a strongly organised \"belief group\" grow on their doorstep.
An important point mentioned in the description was the free room which each group would still retain. I was disturbed, just recently (as Master Jidun and Br.John also pointed out), that a leading member of the UJ attacked our liberty to quote scripture. To change would mean to loose our syncretistic identity. I think it would slowly kill me if I could not be myself.

The only \"Absolute Truth\" that I can think of, is that someday, we're all going to die Physically, and leave behind this crude flesh that we currently inhabit.

Don't let yourself become discouraged in your efforts either. Some of our membership is very outspoken and blunt and that is what makes them unique. I'm not aware of what Master Finch is speaking of on one of the UJ members being against people quoting scripture, but that would hinder many in our membership. Most here follow the syncretistic way. Some quote Buddha, some quote Christ. The various world religions and their truths are what helped gave birth to Jediism as we know it today. To bind the use of those truths would be just, wrong, to put it in a word.
As I said, worthy cause, but I don't believe it is the right move for this temple for the time being.
