Need Help Moving Offline.

[RO1234]

Hi everyone! I'm looking for someone to talk Jedi with:) I take my training very serious but don't really have anyone to talk to about it. I would like to build some relationships with other Jedi outside of the forums. For one, because I still see the Jedi continuing to build into a real group, and second, because it's always healthy to have friends you can associate with.

These days I'm still pretty busy with job and school, but I have unlimited text messaging and I check my email fairly often as well. I'm off after 5 EST and on weekends. If anyone would like to contact me, please send me a pm. I don't want to put my contact info out publicly. Also, if anyone is in the area of the Carolinas, maybe we could train together sometime.

May the Force be with us,
Ro

if you go to the jedi map and place a pin, it will allow other local jedi to find you, likewise it will let you find local jedi. your concern with putting contact info out is understandable, however simply putting your town and state on the map or profile won't really compromise safety.

Greetin's RO1234 *bows* feel free ta contact me anytime if ya require anything in regards with yer trainin, or even just ta chat

[RO1234]

Thanks for the replies. *bows*

As far as the map is concerned, I don't think it's really working. It seems like their are many more Jedi in the list than what actually shows up on the map. Also, I still don't want to list my town because it does still compromise me to an extent. At least for the time being. Has anyone else noticed the same problem with the map feature?

[RyuJin]

not everyone that joins puts a pin in....
one must sometimes put more faith in the force than reason in order to achieve one's goals.

[AdamGolfer]

The map is working fine, anyone that puts in a pin and is on the list is there.

You also do not need to put your town down. It places a pin in the location you give so you can give something in a couple of towns over or even a county over if you want to. It can be as specific or not as you want.

Also, if you are really interested in meeting other offline Jedi, it would be helpful if you put at least your real country, and preferably also state, in your profile, even if you don't want to put your exact town.

I can definitely understand being wary of revealing your exact location and it is important to take precautions when interacting with others both online and offline. But this site is designed to help fellow Jedi find each other offline, along with aiding the Administrators, Gathering Organizers, and Chapter Leaders in determining areas with high concentrations of Jedi to organize groups and events. By including false information in your profile, you take away one of our major tools in helping you to move things offline which counteracts the very thing you seem to want most. How can we direct other offline Jedi in your area your way if we have no idea for sure what area you even live in?

We're not asking for you street address, but if you really want to use this site to its fullest, it works by people sharing a little both ways, and sharing even just your country and state can go a long way to helping you to connect with other Jedi offline.

The system wouldn't let me not give a country. Otherwise I wouldn't have put anything. I have my reasons, if only for my own mental ease. If this was a private registry rather than a public one I might reconsider. I'm mostly looking to talk on the phone anyway. Or possibly skype. I have issues with written communication. It's slow, and however one my have the lugusry of reviewing and rewriting before they submit, there can always be falsities read into someones post. That's even if they do take the time to review. Besides (and I feel this is becoming a bit of a rant and I appoligize) people tend to portray themselves different through an online written media like forums than they do over the phone or even in person. I'm tired of forums, scattered and desolate. I want to get to know other real Jedi as if I'm getting to know a good friend.

Ps, I am horrible at spelling and I'm not going to take the time to spell check this time.

May the Force be with us all,
Ro



The Force has life through our lives

There is nothing to apologize for RO1234, That "rant" as you put it was only what was in your heart and is well understood by us all. It can be somewhat difficult to tell who is being honest and who isn't just by a typed message. I myself am struggling to re-connect with the force and would love to get to know everyone here on a deeper level. I know that i shall do that one day and feel complete inside just as you will.



May the force be your ever Stalwart companion.

Just something to think about...Some day you will have to start trusting in the Force and your ability to use it. The Force will tell you if you are in any danger. If it doesn't feel right don't do it but don't let worry hold you back. You can call me if you would like to talk. (904) 219-9039

now that's putting trust in the force.
it's nice to see others living instead of exhisting.
when we let worry or fear control our actions we simply exhist, when we trust in the force and our abilities we truly live.
