Driving home from work tonight I heard a news story about two brothers, last name Jones who are founding the Church of the Jedi in Whales, England. Apparently they plan to give sermons about the force, train people in lightsaber techniques and meditation.......:D. Maybe if this takes off we too can attend the Jedi Church......:p

Learning Jedi mind tricks would definitely get me out of bed on Sundays. Wait... is Sunday the Jedi holy day?

What are the religious holidays observed?

I need to know these things before I consider switching.

Where's the Star Trek Temple? I gotta hone my phaser skills, for the upcoming Star Trek/Wars religious crusades!

I'd say Star Wars fandom is much worser when it comes to the stigma you face when meeting girls.

Well the closest thing I can think of is a little town called Vulcan in Alberta a couple hours south of Calgary. They host a Star Trek convention every year. Neat little town if you have never visited. Had some farm equipment stores, a Subway and a Star Trek store where you can get your picture taken with cut outs of evey Trek character and the Gallelao shuttle from the Enterprise. Even have a big Enterprise on display at the town limits......:D

I'm actually always surprised at the amount of women on Star Wars fan boards. It might actually help for meeting girls.:D

I can see it now..... Huge makeshift "church" full of 20-30 year olds going at it with their homemade lightsabers taking everything way to seriously.....
...on the other hand, I'd give my left nut to be trained in the Jedi mind trick.

Man, 30 years down the road, parents are going to wake up their kids and ask if they want to go to Jedi church this sunday, or Klingon church, or Flying Spaghetti Monster church, or Church E. Cheese, etc. etc.

There's nothing wrong with the dark side. There must be shadow if there is light, there must be death if there is life. The Sith realise that they're as much a part of the force as anything else, and take a more active role in shaping the world around them. A Jedi is passive, yang to the Sith's strong yin. Remember, the force does not choose favourites, the force gives us whatever strength we call from it. Sith use the the dark side to do what they must, because they can.

Oh shit, I think I just founded the Jedi version of the Church of Satan.

LOL and then i just start force choking them, and they'll actually stop and act like they're choking cause well who can argue with a force choke.

The more the i talk about this, the more i wanna go to a Jedi church and see if they'd actually play along.........ROAD TRIP!

In true Star Wars nerd fashion I must point out that the New Republic officially ceased to exist a couple years ago and was replaced by the Galactic Alliance and later a new Sith Empire :p This Jedi Church has to try harder to keep up with the Star Wars Expanded Universe. :D.

I don't believe in Primus. Fairy tales and nonsense. Transformers evolved from naturally-occurring gears and pulleys.
