Public Forum

The Public Forum is designed for those who do not wish a certificate and be included in the Inner Circle (includes participating in establishing the direction of the Jedi Church), while still maintaining their Jediism faith and belief system. Up until now the Outer Forum was not moderated by anyone expect a computerized guideline. From now on (December 22nd, 2008.) the forums will be moderated by a council member, and all previous writings have been removed except for the first posting. We would also like you to know ideas from general members are reviewed within the Inner Forum.

The idea behind the public forum is for brainstorming and progressive positive thoughts, for general members. Should you feel it necessary to poke fun of our religion because it is not something you believe in, we forgive you. As we already understand that people are afraid of  what is different, and generally opposed to change.
