Forget it, once I have listened to today's 'response' podcast then I'll comment.

@27:30 "We're completely transparent, we tell this to everybody we know" - then where are the financial records?

Jones, if you want us to trust you then prove to us you can be trusted.

I listened to it and counted several more lies.

ChurchOfJediism.org is registered with a domain registration proxy. It does not show the owner. He said it shows me. And this domain was registered Creation Date: 2007-08-16T00:01:46Z while ChurchOfJediism.org[dot]uk was registered 07-Apr-2010 - almost 3 years later - but he said he registered it first then I ran to get a similar domain.

Where are the public financial records anyone can look up?

He counts everyone who's ever put in their email address for a newsletter as a member even if that's all they ever do.

Their Facebook page has 2,300 members - only a few post - and there's only 1 to 5 posts on any given day.

Daniel rephrased what he says in the interview regarding being the first church.

First he said that he looked online and there were no other Jedi churches at all, so he decided to start the first one.

Later on, he then says "there were no other Jedi churches doing what we wanted them to do so we made CoJ", and then began trying to use the phase "we are the first to do WHAT WE DO" to replace the (now obviously false) notion that they were the very first Jedi church period.

He essentially went back on what he thought he was going to feed them at the beginning.

I made mistakes. I did that podcast on a very bad day. I'd just received some bad and sad news the day before and was in a horrible state. Nonetheless I should not have said some things or said them the way I did. Several people here are crossing the line on abuse and I will not have it.

If it was a bad day, if you were in a horrible state... Then perhaps you should have rescheduled. Hindsight....

Yes, mistakes were made. And as has been said in the other thread, certain people are going to be held to higher standards with mistakes. You happen to be one of those people. Comes with the position.... *shrugs*

Time to figure out how to fix it. I personally don't think continuing to go on about them within a thread on the site is the best way to work on that....


BTW, that "publicly judging" thing applies to everyone commenting on that podcast response. People don't really need other people to point out things like the guy back tracked, or what have you. It'll be obvious enough to anyone who's paying attention.
