happythoughts 0 #1 January 24, 2008 clicky QuoteTwo Star Wars-loving brothers planning a Jedi church hope it will be much nearer than a galaxy far, far away. Barney and Daniel Jones want fellow devotees to be able to join them close to their home on Anglesey. Barney, 26 - or Master Jonba Hehol - and Daniel, 21 - Master Morda Hehol - head the UK Church of the Jedi, in honour of the film's good knights. You can pick any name at all... and you picked "Hehol". That's just almost too easy. I am unsure if that is the braying sound that jackasses make "Heee-hol" or some anal reference. QuoteThey say their services will include sermons on "the Force," light sabre training, and meditation techniques. Good idea. Learning to fight is a good idea. Learning to fight with a round-edge weapon powered by batteries... oh. "Desist your evil or we shall strike with our wrapping-paper tubes." I think that the Evil Laughers of the Dark Side are just going to punish these guys when they stop rolling on the floor. QuoteHairdresser Barney became interested in the Jedi faith after 390,000 other Star Wars fans across England and Wales declared it as their religion on the 2001 census. Hairdressing. Yep, that's how Obi-Wan started. Quote"We had a knowledge of the Force from that and the teachings of Yoda. We've read the teachings on the internet. Ah... great sources of all things true. A puppet and the internet. At the end of it all, jealousy. I never seem to get in on that ground floor of all the really great scams. Perhaps, here is my big opportunity. People are stupid everywhere. If they can convince 390K people in the UK, then California will be a cinch. I now pronounce myself Jedi Pope. There are bishop openings available. I expect only 4% of the take offerings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here comes the comment who will move the thread to SC: Is it any less valid than Christianity? The jedis get at least to play with light sabres...

riddler 0 #5 January 24, 2008 Cool concept, but there will be always something missing without actual demonstration and usage of Force powers. Yoda said "you must learn control", but you know the padiwans were thinking "or he'll kick my ass with that Force shit."Trapped on the surface of a sphere.
