It's official: "Jedi Knight" is ON the list of religions for the 2001 UK
census.

A campaign to get people to write the entry on their census forms has
succeeded in the term being included on the list of religions, alongside
Church of England, Roman Catholic, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu.

Sufficient numbers of people wrote the entry in for it to be allocated
its own code for the census processing team to use.

But officials from the Office of National Statistics are keen to point
out that just because Jedi Knight has been given its own code, that does
not confer on it the status of official recognition.

"We are not defining what a religion or a faith might be," a spokeswoman
said. "We are recognising what some may have entered on their census
form and ensuring that our coding framework will cater for it."

Other religions which are included on the list, alongside the better
known cases, are the Church of Free Love, Wiccan, Divine Lightmission,
and Coleraine Christian Centre.

Shortly before the census last April, an e-mail was circulated in the UK
stating that if 10,000 people put Jedi on the census form, it would
become a "fully recognised and legal religion".



So, help you, I can ...

p.s. I dont do the Jedi mind trick too often ... it scares the
children!!

Ahh .. its good to see the art of humo(u)r isnt totally wasted on the
elderly.

Somehow it makes sense that where there was an Empire the Jedi's are now
involved.

thank you for your intelligent and wry response.

it took very little to make light of a silly subject without the
unnecessary previous posts.

I sometimes wonder why I bother

I think I might convert

May I borrow your light sabre please?

Mine has flat batteries..

Lady Vader now u have a bunch of english people who want to worship you
as a goddess

Its the hat I tell you...the hat...

it would still look great under the bottom bunk!!!

Complete with cabin boy uniform...

hey, do jedis play with butterflies, ****roaches, and ravens?

The cabin boy uniform???

Since when was that obligatory???

Lori ... Jedis will play with anything ... but c0ckroaches are a special
case.

They need careful handling and unless you are consequent in your
actions, they have a real bad-arse temper!!

Well, since Lady Vader got a constituency, and a new hairdo,...I
guess...not sure, but somewhere back in the doctrines, was a hat, a bunk
and a cabin boy uniform...I will have to check the scriptures...

The truth is in the scriptures.

Now I remember!!!

The uniform has to be under the bunk with the hat, and then ...

We all set sail to a foreign sea to swim and play above and
below the water close to some amazing reefs...
