Jedi Church Rises to Force False Religion to Masses

You've heard about converting to Judaism. But Jediisim?

It's one more "ism" in a word of "isms." And it shows just how far religion has strayed from its true purpose.

Hold that thought. Let's explore the world of the latest religious fad first.

It's called the Temple of the Jedi Order.

A few months old, but worthy of sharing.

" but it's a plot of the enemy to mock and distract us from the glory of Jesus Christ...."

More christian fire and brim-stoning. Not even worth the 2 seconds it took to read it

Blind hate lives anywhere. To hate some one for some ones path is one of the things I hope we can “evolve “ from. I can’t blame or hate on J LeClair because my faith and path says we are all inherently worth. This is a great reminder of our faiths influence in our actions. Does our faith or our application of it makes us hatful or compassionate? Let us learn as we live life to see this distinction in ourself not really in others but in us. It can happen to any one - even Jedi.

Agreed. Quote "Is this a bad joke? No, this religion, if you can call it that, complete with a statement of faith and a doctrine. Doesn't sound too harmful, right? But it is. It's one more brick in the enemy's false church structure."

but its pretty much all explained in the "about the Author section". "Jennifer LeClaire is senior leader of Awakening House of Prayer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, founder of the Ignite Netweork and founder of the Awakening Blaze prayer movement." Dunno, sounds a lil bit biased... ;p

What I take most objection to is the title! I can't see any forcing of religion on anyone here... if anything you have to be self motivated to go through the Initiate Programme...Oooh! A good time to plug this event: https://www.templeofthejediorder.org/forum/ip-study-hall/121525-live-ip-study-hall-sat-8-11-2018-8pm-est

Maybe we can see what we can gather from the Awakening House of Prayer to help us further build our syncretic ideas...

I suppose we should be flattered. SOMEBODY NOTICED US! :lol:

It always gives me a slight laugh when I see people who to me are insecure within their own belief that they have to trout someone elses views to make them feel strong in their faith!!!

In my WWJD view, denigrating someones views without sharing differences is not Sharing Faith at all!!!

No one person sees things the exact way, that's the virtue of Sharing... If not we'd be robots and drones

As someone who is both a) a survivor of spiritual abuse in an evangelical Christian cult and b) studying to become a counselor specializing in spiritual abuse, I spend a lot of time cautioning against so-called anti-cult/spiritual abuse recovery resources that have a religious agenda. Most of the time, they just brand anything that doesn't agree with their doctrine as "weird and therefore evil" without actually looking to see if there's actually anything there worth worrying about.

I don't have the wherewithal to run a word count, but it almost looks as if (once you take the ads out) they used more words from this website than they did original ones for the article.

Fundamentalists gonna fundamental-ate xD

But in all honesty, it really sucks to live in the fear that everything around you is trying to hurt you and/or drag you to hell. I can't bring it upon myself to make their lives any more miserable by being mean about their ignorance.

Whenever new religious groups arise they should ask the adherent or adherents more about the religion so they can better understand it

Is this adherent stealing anything? Are they doing any sort of physical, mental or emotional torment to anyone, causing pain, death or destruction?

Then what are they doing wrong?

And I never understood why adherents need to stand up for their god as if their god is offended. Does God really NEED your help or intervention? xD If he wants someone smote or punished he will do that. He doesn't need your help for that. It's like me asking an ant to do my work.

Are they miserable and ignorant, or are they just selling something?

As the Coca Cola representative for TotJO, I like to remind everyone how important it is to drink a refreshing Coca Cola, otherwise you might drink something else (I don't know why you'd want to, Coca Cola is clearly a superior beverage, and all your friends, and people you respect and wish to emulate are drinking Coca Cola)

Is this adherent stealing anything?

Souls, arguably. (and to a lesser extent, so unimportant it is barely worth mentioniong, money)

Whew, all this debate is making me thirsty, I'm going to enjoy a nice crisp Coca Cola!

I didn't know I got to force my religious views on the masses! Why did no one tell me?!? I need to change boots! I have just the boots for this!

Seriously, I always look carefully at anyone who starts screaming that someone else is a dangerous cult. Sometimes, it's true. But sometimes... my grandmother used to say that the thing about gossip-mongers was that it said more about what they would do than about what their targets were actually doing.

It's a shame when it comes to fundamentalism. It's annoying but it also gives the other adherents of christianity that are not fundamental a bad name. Fundamentalist ideals always bother me. I'm sure a fundamentalist jedi, buddhist or sikh or would be just as annoying.

There is no winning an argument against a fundamentalist. “Points of view” are dismissed as “tricks” of the devil/enemy to confuse from the One and Only Truth.

And of course They are always privy to the Truth, even if you quote back their own scripture at them, they are right. You are wrong.

I guess we can all fall prey to being as stubborn with something.

Hand me that Coca Cola. All Pepsi is evil. :laugh:

I absolutely love threads like this. We spend so much time in the forums fighting with each other and sometimes arguing just for the sake of arguing. I’ve long said this temple needs a common cause. And nothing makes me happier or brings a bigger smile to my face then seeing us unite around a common idea! ( even if that idea is someone being stupid in the media). Not saying we need to return fire by any means. But a united temple is my idea of heaven! Happy Jedi here!

Did anybody read the comment section of this article?..

Not very christian-like, some of them lol

But to be fair, I can't remember the last time I saw a comment section anywhere that was anything I'd be proud to claim. Maybe on a Tool video or something xD

F*** you!!! Pepsi is God!! That evil SOB Coke is the source of all evil! Its brought down upon us a blight of high fructose corn syrup and massive conformity in market share. The masses drone to its jungles without even understanding the evil witchcraft beneath them designed to enslave us. The illuminati are in charge of the coke industry and plan to use it to addict us to artificial sweeteners and fake sugar so they can enslave us in their web of lies!!! Just ask [insert name here]!! He knows the truth of this and can provide so much superficial and suprifelous information and red herrings that in the end you will not be able to deny the truth of his statements!!!

Embrace Pepsi as your true savior my friends! Only pepsi, who embraces true natural sugar in limited quantities, can provide you the path to freedom and from there enlightenment in its purest form by achieving the highest state of vibration through the caress of its co2 bubbles possible!!!

That was to funny! It seams after I take off my glasses you are right .
My friend told me you both can't be right !
And after thinking about it . I realize he is also right
