Dear Temple of the jedi force,
I have lied to the temple. I have repeatedly claimed that I was 15,
This was false I am really 13 I was trying to prove a point around the
temple that age was just a number and that It is knowledge that matters
I have reported to the council my age and now am asking for forgiveness
of the temple, The focre wanted me to tell, human natuere told otherwise.
thank you,
Daniel W. Lewis

Daniel, honesty and integrity are crucial to a Jedi's life. I believe you had honesty in your heart when you lied about your age and this apology is both heartfelt and sincere. The sincerity in it has me hoping desperately that no one is brow beating you too badly about it.

I will agree with you though, one's age shouldn't limit potential. Extraordinary often places itself in the ordinary and tests the bounds.

Good for you and job well done.

Daniel,

When your admission of truth was brought to my attention there wer two things that came to mind.

1) It was an issue of age maybe to fit in better, to be heard, etc.

Someone of your age, at times, will do something like this believing that age is not a matter, so to say it means to feel belonged.

2) My decision, was set that no punishment was to be taken on this matter.

It takes more courage to tell the truth than to say the false. The Force guided you to do the right thing and it is settled.

Let's move on from this, and good luck with your studies.

Greetings, i am thud thorax. I am currently pursuing a vow of "no postings" here, and usually confine myself to the chatroom, but i feel i must say a few words at this time. JediDaniel, the internet is a place where people can be something other than what they truly are, be it male, female, good or evil and many other guises formulated to deceive, cause disruption to others etc. To inflate ones age by a couple of years is by no means the worst infraction i have come across and really caused no harm, other than to your conscience. Be happy that you have one, and don't sweat it too much. Yes it may have been dishonest, and i am not suggesting you continue your life journey in anything but an honest way, but don't sweat it too much, your motives were relatively harmless.

Padawan, all is forgiven.

I also wish to thank the temple for the forgiveness they have shown my padawan, and am honored to call you all brothers and sisters.

JediDaniel,

I wouldn't worry about it man. Thank you for your honesty though. I know others including myself appreciate it.

Tis nice to see the Conceous at work...

Your a good man, Jedi Daniel, and a True Jedi, at that.

I rarely post within the walls of the TOTJF, but today, I have the honor of being in the presence of a Real Jedi Knight.

Bows*

Your Friend,

Well at least you had a good reason. People on my site will lie about their age because they don't want to be seen as "young" when they don't realized half the people there are their age. Yay for you, have a Jedi treat.

You told the truth when it was best. Congrats...

Daniel!

Your apology is happily accepted and you are further endeared to us. Thank you for beginning this thread .. it is a thread of personal spiritual growth & brotherhood. It is a thread of courageousness and compassion. Thank you Daniel and gracious posters.

May the Force continue to guide us on the Jedi path,
