The Jedi and/or their religion, as it is presently, is inherently flawed.
This seems to be the Only website with any presence still active.
This seems to lead itself to the original statement.

What are your views?
What are some flaws, and/or possible solutions if any?

If your observation is that we are inherintly flawed, may I ask what the flaw is?

I think this site is great, but there are a few things things that I would do a bit differently, such as:
  1. More real world Jedi activities: Meetups, training, temples and retreats
  2. Emphasis on real esoteric Jedi practices that work, such as qigong, meditation and yoga, and less on idle intellectualizing and debate
  3. More of a cosmic perspective informed by sciences such as astronomy, physics, ecology and (para)psychology.
  4. Greater Eastern influence. Jediism is rooted primarily in Taoism and Zen Buddhism, along with Sufism, Shamanism, Shinto, Zoroastrianism and Hinduism. The strongly Christian flavor of this site doesn't quite jibe with my vision of Jediism.

From a simple observation of reality you'll find that nothing is inherently flawed. :dry:

That's why it shouldn't be a religion.

Flaws: Rules, Limitations, Classes, Ranks, Dogma, etc.

Flaws can be simply a matter of perspective.

There is nothing about this Temple I would change. But I'm not against change either.

I take it you are not a Jedi?

Isnt life flawed?

Wouldnt your logic, and opinion, as is ours/mine, be flawed possibly as well?

Streen, I think he means with lots of activity, or at least thats how I read it...

If we knew of flaws, and had solutions, we would fix them...;)

But, instead of asking us to tear up what we think (might) have some problems, that we fix as we discover them, please, feel free to criticize us, and offer you insight...:)

I would ask, what flaws you find with Jediism?

And, how would we resolve them?

Would we set rules and guidelines to cover every situation that all members must strictly adhere to; like so many other religions have… thus creating internal dissention where people wish to break off and start their own sect/group? Or would it not be better to allow a certain amount of freedom?

Just some food for thought. ;)

I am always open to ideas. :)
