sith/jedi

should I stop using this site if I favour the Sith over Jedi?

Not if you're respectful and wish to learn...

That you're asking this question suggests to me that you don't think you should stop.

Life is not black and white, things are not Jedi OR Sith.. and you don't have to be a Jedi to spend time here and learn.

If we've got something here you think you'll find useful, then stay, don't worry about labels.

That really depends on you.

If you feel that you benefit from this site then I would recommend that you stay. There are a few members here who identify with the Sith path but still find this site beneficial to them. Not all of them go through the training, but prefer to simply partake in the discussions on the forum.

Have you found a good place to explore the Sith path? If so, then I would recommend joining them in addition to or instead of here.

We are an open and accepting community, you may stay or leave at your choosing.

That isn't really a distinction on this site. Jediism isn't about the films.

You might consider also seeking out an explicitly Sith sight just to get a broader frame of reference.

In addition to, not in place of.

not many of those left....at least not many non role-playing, quality sith sites....the path tends to be self destructive because of poor interpretations of it by some of the followers.

I see the Force as something that doesn't make such distinctions as "light" and "dark". My kung fu grandmaster said that in the highest level of external martial arts, there are internal practices, and that in the highest level of internal martial arts, there are external practices. Two different approaches to the same goal, each requiring the other to exist. So when it comes to Jedi and Sith, both of us have common ideas and goals. Is there really a need for such a distinction in the first place?

Im a Sith.

I do fine.

What's a sith? You do realize that there is no such thing as the dark side right? We really gotta fix the IP on this issue

How do you know there isn't and what "issue" is it that you feel needs fixing? And why?

Its all about balance ....

Let's not go there. He asked a question, it doesn't need to be turned into an argument because your opinions differ. Please respect the beliefs of others even if you disagree...

Rather than respond with our opinions, I think it is better to simply contemplate what he's (she's? sorry, I don't mean to assume) asking. And, respond to them. The time for proselytizing our beliefs is when this person asks us to. haha.

In any case, I would suggest perhaps finding your own balance. Go find a good Sith site (I recommend Order of the Sith and Force Academy) and see if Sith Realism is for you. Mind you, it is not about having Palpatine's force powers (which is depressing, I know...), but you can achieve a power far more useful. I have learned much in my limited time studying under Khaos and David.

Then, of course, try our teachings here too. Do a few lessons of the IP (especially Watts and Campbell) to begin to grasp with what we're trying to say here.

I believe everyone is welcome here as long as the are respectful.

I personally find discussions with sith interesting.

I know I would like to hear more from Sith, simply because I don't know.

thanks every one.

I meant it more as if a person (not nececeraly me), were to favour sith practices, would their presence and contribution to the site be unwanted.

I'll give you the same answer as before, so long as they're respectful and wish to learn, it doesn't really matter. We as a Temple are a pretty open minded group, for the most part...
