Can someone bring me up to speed on the new Order?

IN reference to “does jestor take on apprentices…..the answer is un fortunately no. I’ve seen jestor on here twice in the last 5 years and it was for like 5 minutes each time.

And while still great to reminisce with things and people from the past, my advice would be to focus on the here and now. I’ve answered that question above multiple times in this very thread. I’d like to see you both work your way through the ip so in December you could become apprentices to a knight who is actually still here.

Please don’t think I’m being rude…far from it. From all I’ve heard about jestor he seemed like a great guy and I’m friends with his apprentice edan, but he’s moved on from totjo.

Dear Zero, I like your spirit and warmth on the IP matter.. but I cannot give a guarantee I will be ready in December because learning is a very delicate process to me! For me it may be earlier than December but as well be later depending on how the Force directs me.

It won’t be earlier. There is a moratorium on new apprenticeships until the new DQS comes up in December

DQS? Dairy Queen Service?

Degree Qualification Scheme

I think my (and councils) biggest concern is the several new and returning members who keep mentioning a new order. There is no new order. Yes We have new ip lessons, yes we’re creating new lessons for the degree scheme. But that’s about it. Our existing council members have all been on council for many years. Our rules and policies haven’t changed much since I came here 5 years ago. So my question is a simple one, why are all you returning members convinced there is some new order? Who has convinced you of some non existent big change? Being someone who has logged in to the temple daily for working on 5 years, I can promise you that short of a few new ip lessons, totjo hasn’t changed much at all. Curious to see who responds to this with an actual answer.

I told Aqua that i feel things are a lot calmer and more balanced here and that there is more focus on study. For me study is more important than fretting over change and over people that have their reasons for not being here. But then , i dont fret over a lot of things anymore

That’s a wise perspective to have serenity. Stressing over the small things is something I wish more people would give up. It makes life so much simpler

What happened to VTOG? She was barely out of diapers back when I was on here .

The person you remember is now called Ben and he is very well! Am not sure how he'd take being referred to as 'just out of diapers' though . . .

The new Order means the people who replaced the ones that were here back when I was doing the IP some 8-9 years ago. There was Br. John, Jestor, Wesclii, Brenna, VTOG, and a few others I'll probably remember. I do realize people come and go, the council has turnover, the moderators have turnover, etc.
