Jehovah's Witness doctrine is not from the Bible alone
Many Jehovah's Witnesses will tell you that they derive their doctrines from the Bible and only from the Bible. In reality, they derive their doctrines from what the Watchtower says about the Bible. Following are various quotes that demonstrate this fact.
- If the Witness says he learns his theology by reading the Bible alone, then he contradicts the Watchtower which says that is not possible:
- "Let us face the fact that no matter how much Bible reading we have done, we would never have learned the truth on our own. We would not have discovered the truth regarding Jehovah, his purposes and attributes, the meaning and importance of his name, the Kingdom, Jesus' ransom, the difference between God's organization and Satan's, nor why God has permitted wickedness," (Watchtower, Dec. 1, 1990, p. 19).
- "Thus the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the Christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals, regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the Bible," (Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1967, p. 587).
- Additionally, the Watchtower says only its organization understands the Bible
- "Only this organization functions for Jehovah's purpose and to his praise. To it alone God's Sacred Word, the Bible, is not a sealed book," (Watchtower, July 1, 1973, p. 402).
- "All who want to understand the Bible should appreciate that the "greatly diversified wisdom of God" can become known only through Jehovah's channel of communication, the faithful and discreet slave," (Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1994, p. 8).
- Therefore, whatever argument the JW offers is not from their understanding of the Bible but from the watchtower's interpretation of it.
- Can the Watchtower be trusted and especially since it has made false prophecies?
- " . . . the 'battle of the great day of God Almighty' (Revelation 16:14), which will end in A.D. 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced," (The Time Is at Hand, 1908 edition, p. 101).
- "The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the Scriptures than 1914," (Watchtower, Sept. 1, 1922, p. 262).
- "Our thought is, that 1925 is definitely settled by the Scriptures. As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon which to base his faith than Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge," (Watchtower, Apr. 1, 1923, p. 106).
- "Receiving the gift, the marching children clasped it to them, not a toy or plaything for idle pleasure, but the Lord's provided instrument for most effective work in the remaining months before Armageddon," (Watchtower, Sept. 15, 1941, p. 288).
- "There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah's faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1917, 1918, and 1925, which disappointment lasted for a time . . . and they also learned to quit fixing dates," (Vindication, p. 338).
- "Why are you looking forward to 1975?" (Watchtower, Aug. 15, 1968, p. 494).
- Can the Watchtower be trusted and especially since it has made false prophecies?
- The Watchtower says if you read the Bible alone, you'll become a Trinitarian.
- "From time to time, there have arisen from among the ranks of Jehovah's people those, who, like the original Satan, have adopted an independent, faultfinding attitude . . . They say that it is sufficient to read the Bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home. But, strangely, through such ï'Bible reading,' they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by Christendom's clergy were teaching 100 years ago . . . " (Watchtower, Aug. 15, 1981).
- What are the apostate doctrines of 100 years ago? Why, the Trinity of course.
Obviously, the Watchtower organization tells its members what to believe. From the last quote, we can clearly see that the Bible teaches Trinitarianism since that is what we would conclude if we simply read the Bible without the Watchtower guiding our thoughts.

About Rancho Santa Margarita crime rates
According to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI crime statistics, Rancho Santa Margarita is safer than 88% of the cities and towns in the US of all population sizes. In California, only on the order of 4% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Rancho Santa Margarita. If you live in Rancho Santa Margarita, your chance of becoming a victim of crime in the community is 1 in 142. The US average across communities from the largest to the smallest is 1 in 31. It is for these reasons that Rancho Santa Margarita is ranked as one of the top 100 safest cities in the U.S.A.
Additionally, NeighborhoodScout analyzed all cities and towns in America with a similar population size to Rancho Santa Margarita, and we found that the crime rate in Rancho Santa Margarita is one of the lowest in the nation for its size. This means Rancho Santa Margarita is one of the safest places in America in which to live for its size, a very important finding.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Rancho Santa Margarita does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Rancho Santa Margarita.
For Rancho Santa Margarita, NeighborhoodScout found that the violent crime rate is well below the national average for all communities of all population sizes. Violent crimes such as assault, rape, murder and armed robbery happen less often in Rancho Santa Margarita than in most of America. One's chance of becoming a victim of a violent crime here is one in 1816, which is a violent crime rate of 1 per one thousand inhabitants.
NeighborhoodScout's analysis of property crime reveals that the property crime rate in Rancho Santa Margarita is below average to all cities and towns in the nation. This means that you are less likely to become a victim of arson, motor vehicle theft, larceny, or burglary in Rancho Santa Margarita than in most communities in America. Your chance of becoming a victim of property crime if you live here? Just one in 154.

Romelu Lukaku came back to haunt Aston Villa as he scored in Everton's 2-0 win at Villa Park on Saturday.
Villa manager Paul Lambert admitted during the week that he tried to sign Lukaku last season, and the Belgian star swept home Leon Osman's pass from the edge of the box in the 68th minute to open the scoring and register his fifth league goal of the campaign. Osman hit a second later in the match to secure the Toffees' away win.
Villa Park hosted the two teams' 197th meeting - the English top flight's most-played fixture - and both sides looked determined to claim three points as chances flowed at both ends, with Lambert bringing back striker Christian Benteke after a month out with a thigh injury and Everton manager Roberto Martinez replacing Osman with Steven Pienaar in the only change for the away side.
Villa looked the livelier team in the early stages and the home side almost got off to an excellent start as Christian Benteke was tripped by Seamus Coleman in the area to win an early penalty, but Tim Howard was down quickly to his right to tip away the spot-kick on eight minutes.
Howard frustrated Benteke once more in the 23rd minute as the striker was played through on goal, but after coming in from the left saw the United States international palm his controlled effort away as chances started to become more commonplace.
Everton ended an entertaining first half on top as Barkley saw his long-range effort crash off the crossbar, before Kevin Mirallas weaved his way into the 18-yard box and poked wide.
Seven minutes into the second half, Barkley tried his luck from range again, but this time he missed the target altogether as his effort flew wide.
Fabian Delph was also trying to leave his mark on the match and his side-footed shot from the edge of the area looked goal-bound, but Phil Jagielka made a crucial block with his shoulder.
Substitute Osman secured the three points for Roberto Martinez's Everton in the final 10 minutes as he slid a left-footed shot past Guzan from Gareth Barry's cut-back to the 18-yard line.
Everton's second away win from 13 matches was completed in the 81st minute as Osman hit a low shot past Guzan, leaving Villa just outside the relegation zone.
Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert: "Look at that start we had - three fantastic chances and, on another day, the lads put them in. It puts you on the back foot when you don't score and, at this level, you know that a team only needs one chance to score. We conceded when we were on top of the game - it looked as if we were going to score and we then get hit with a poor goal.
"We've already played five of the top six teams in the league, and it's up to us to regroup."
VIDEO: Watch Paul Lambert's press conference >>
Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "Romelu Lukaku looked a real threat throughout the game. He didn't just contribute with the goal, his movement was terrific and his starting positions were always difficult to pick for the Villa back four. You are seeing a player that is enjoying his football and we want to see that continue."

I applied for this opportunity about 1 month ago. The total process for me is 1 1/2 month. Got email back with about 10 questions (tech and salary questions), I answered it and didn't expect to have an interview. I got interview afterward. However, it is very tiring experience. I was told to have Web/Video interview (at NYC location) with 5 people. It turned out to be 6 people, each person, about 1/2 hour. Continuously from Tech co-workers, manager, to supervisor, non-stopped. When it came about almost end of the interview, my mouth was dry. Talking two and 1/2 hours straight in interview with six people was really first time. On top of that, I was in a very small phone with a pc, webcam in front of me. Sometimes I feel like being interrogated instead of being interviewed.
I don't know how they determine whom to hire. But to me, if all agree with one candidate, it will be tough one. Weeks passed by, and on news or response, I guess I didn't get accepted....Interview Questions

So, it's now all of a sudden September. Wow, where did the time go?
With fantasy playoffs set to start in head-to-head league and with this month being a pivotal stretch for rotisserie players, things are set to get very interesting.
There is no time for second guessing, Â as every decision you make this month is critical.
So let's look at some hot, trendy and intriguing names to watch this week.
Alex Rodriguez: New York Yankees
With the Yankees in need of some stability and pop in the order with Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson recently being sidelined, the return of Rodriguez could not come at a more opportune time.
Out since late-July, there will be some rust to shake off for A-Rod, but he still possesses a powerful bat and could help owners down the stretch.
This week A-Rod and the Yankees take on the Rays (James Shields, Alex Cobb and Matt Moore) and the Orioles (Wei-Yin Chen, Chris Tillman, Joe Saunders and Zach Britton) on the road in an important week for AL East supremacy.
Kris Medlen: Atlanta Braves
There is perhaps no hotter pitcher in baseball than Kris Medlen is right now.
Medlen is working on a 28.1 scoreless inning streak and is 5-0 in his last six starts, while allowing just three earned runs in 40.2 innings pitched.
Medlen has been a scorching name off the waiver wire and at this point he has to be considered a must start pitcher. With two starts (vs. Colorado, @NYM) on deck this week, Medlen is a pitcher to count on this week.
Jurickson Profar: Texas Rangers
One of the more exciting September call-ups, Profar had a fantastic debut on Sunday vs. the Indians when he went 2-4 with his first ever home run in his first at-bat.
While it's unclear how much time he will get going forward since he has no set position (he was filling in for Ian Kinsler, who could be back soon), but he is a player that bears watching.
He is a must-own in dynasty/keeper leagues, but he could do enough in yearly leagues to help out in at least stolen bases.
This week Profar and the Rangers will face the Royals (Bruce Chen, Jeremy Guthrie, TBA and Will Smith)Â and the Rays (Jeremy Hellickson, David Price and James Shields) on the road.
Matt Harvey: New York Mets
Enjoy him while you can, because just like Stephen Strasburg, Harvey is on the verge of being shut down. But not before he gets two starts this week against the Cardinals on the road and the Braves at home.
Harvey has been spectacular of late and is 2-0 in his last four starts while giving up just six earned runs in 26 innings. Harvey also boasts 49 strikeouts on the year to just 17 walks.
Tyler Colvin: Colorado Rockies
While not much has been going right for the Rockies of late, they have found a nice slugging hitter in Colvin.
Colvin has been picked up in a lot of leagues of late on the account of him going 13-42 in his last 11 games with three home runs, three doubles, two triples and 11 runs batted in.
While he does face a challenging slate, having to go on the road and face off against the staffs of the Braves (Kris Medlen, Tommy Hanson, Mike Minor and Tim Hudson) and the Phillies (Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels and Tyler Cloyd), Colvin could help out if you find yourself in a pinch.
Edwin Jackson: Washington Nationals
Jackson has been on a bit of roll of late.
While Jackson has only won two starts in his last six tries, he is keeping his team in games. Jackson has given up only five earned runs in his last 21 innings while also striking out a whopping 29 batters in that time.
With Strasburg about to get shut down, Jackson will be leaned on a bit more heavily in the last month.
This week Jackson will draw two winnable starts at home vs. the Cubs and the Marlins.
Mark Reynolds: Baltimore Orioles
It's either boom or bust when discussing Reynolds.
Well, with the week Reynolds is coming off of, we're talking a whole lot of boom here. Reynolds was 7-22 with four home runs and seven RBI's in the last week.
Reynolds is a streaky player and that streak could extend into this week when he and the Orioles square off against the Blue Jays (J.A. Happ, Carlos Villanueva and Brandon Morrow) on the road before tangling with the Yankees (David Phelps, Phil Hughes, C.C. Sabathia and Freddy Garcia) at home to end the week.
Yu Darvish: Texas Rangers
It has been an uneven season for the much-hyped Japanese import this year, but Darvish is starting to hit a stride as we approach the stretch.
Darvish is 2-1 in his last three starts, while allowing just six earned runs in 20.2 innings pitched. In that time Darvish has also amassed 28 strikeouts while allowing 15 hits and eight walks.
This week Darvish should be in a line for a solid week when he faces two offensively-challenged teams in the Royals and the Rays on the road.
Delmon Young: Detroit Tigers
It has been an inconsistent season for Young this year, but right now he is on the right side of the ledger.
Young is swinging a hot bat of late and is 13-30 in his last eight games with four home runs, three doubles, one triple and 11 RBI's.
While this hot, Young is a player you must ride. This week Young and the Tigers will go up against the Indians (Corey Kluber, Justin Masterson and Ubaldo Jimenez) at home before heading out west to Los Angeles (Ervin Santana, Jered Weaver and C.J. Wilson) to end the week.
Shaun Marcum: Milwaukee Brewers
Since coming off the DL on August 25, Marcum has been so-so while not lasting past the fifth inning in any outing and allowing seven runs (three earned) in nine innings.
If you're a risk taker, this may be the week to take a flier on Marcum since he'll be due for two starts on the road (@Miami and @ St. Louis).

Contact Don Ledford, Public Affairs ● (816) 426-4220 ● 400 East Ninth Street, Room 5510 ● Kansas City, MO 64106
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – John F. Wood, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that the operator of a Kansas City, Mo., trucking company and truck driving school pleaded guilty in federal court today to participating in a conspiracy to provide fraudulent commercial driver's licenses to large numbers of Somali and Bosnian nationals.
Ernest Arnel White, also known as Mustafa, 50, of Kansas City, pleaded guilty before U.S. Chief Magistrate Judge James C. England this morning to the charge contained in a Sept. 20, 2007, federal indictment.
By pleading guilty, White admitted that he was involved in a mail fraud conspiracy from April 1, 2003, to Feb. 6, 2006, that defrauded others by denying the public the right of honest services of contract employees of the state of Missouri. The conspiracy involved fraudulent testing for commercial driver's licenses on the part of the South Central Career Center Truck Driver Training School (SCCC) in West Plains, Mo.
White operated Muslim Brothers and Sisters (MBS), a trucking company that operated a truck driving training school in Kansas City, which directed individuals to SCCC in order to obtain a Missouri commercial driver's license (CDL). White had an agreement with co-defendant Orbin Dale May, 64, of West Plains, who was employed at SCCC (at that time a division of the West Plains R-7 School District) to train truck drivers and administer CDL driving tests. May would give an incomplete or inadequate driving test, fraudulently certify that the MBS student had legitimately passed the driving test, and mail the certifying document to the Missouri Department of Revenue. May also provided the student with a copy of the certifying document that the student could use in obtaining the CDL at a Missouri Department of Revenue office.
White paid May $300 to $500 for each student that May passed in this way.
White is the sixth co-defendant to plead guilty to his role in the conspiracy.
May pleaded guilty on Nov. 9, 2007, to his role in the conspiracy. May admitted that he gave incomplete or inadequate driving tests and fraudulently certified that applicants had legitimately passed the driving tests. During the course of the conspiracy and in furtherance of the conspiracy, May submitted fraudulent CDL forms, indicating that applicants had successfully completed the competency test, to the SCCC office, which then mailed them to the Missouri Department of Revenue. May would provide the applicant with a copy of the certifying document that could be used to obtain the CDL at a Missouri Department of Revenue office.
May also admitted that he received additional payment (above that which was required under law) to administer the tests, in order to ensure that applicants passed the CDL driving test.
Howard E. Schneider, 41, of Overland Park, Kan., pleaded guilty on Nov. 28, 2007, to his role in the conspiracy. Schneider is the owner of H.E. Schneider Trucking Company in Kansas City, Kan., and involved in the operation of Muslim Brothers and Sisters.
Schneider admitted that he assisted co-conspirators in directing individuals to SCCC in order to fraudulently obtain commercial driver's licenses. Schneider also took the CDL driving test at SCCC on Jan. 24, 2005, and knew that the test was not legitimately administered.
Abdulfatah Osman Farah, 24, a citizen of Somalia living in Kansas City, pleaded guilty on Dec. 10, 2007, to his role in the conspiracy.
Farah admitted that he obtained a CDL after testing at SCCC on Dec. 28, 2004. According to the plea agreement, May administered the CDL driving test. While Farah took two of the three portions of the driving test, White drove the tractor trailer in order to assist Farah in successfully completing the last portion of the driving test. May then certified that Farah had passed his driving test, and sent a copy of the certifying document to the Missouri Department of Revenue.
Afterward, Farah assisted White in taking students to SCCC in order to obtain a CDL in the same way. On several occasions, Farah simulated a driving test with May's assistance, in order to help those students pass the CDL test.
Ahmed Muhidin Sharif, 28, a citizen of Somalia living in Kansas City, Mo., pleaded guilty on Nov. 9, 2007, to his role in the conspiracy.
Sharif assisted White by transporting students from Muslim Brothers and Sisters truck driving school to SCCC, knowing that May would fraudulently administer the competency tests. Sharif made about 15 trips in which he transported 70 to 80 students of Somali descent to West Plains in order to fraudulently obtain CDLs. Sharif knew that the tests were being fraudulently administered by May, and observed May give incomplete or inadequate CDL driving tests to the students.
Abdiwahab Mohamud Mohamed, 38, a citizen of Somalia living in Minneapolis, Minn., pleaded guilty on Oct. 31, 2007, to his role in the conspiracy.
Mohamed, who had fraudulently obtained a CDL after purportedly testing at SCCC, directed students from the state of Minnesota to SCCC in order to obtain fraudulent CDLs. Mohamed was directed to White by an acquaintance in Minnesota who informed him that White's school would only cost $800, as opposed to the $5,000 for a legitimate CDL school in Minnesota. White took Mohamed to SCCC, where he was tested by May. Mohamed, who had never driven a tractor trailer prior to traveling to West Plains, drove a tractor-trailer around the parking lot at SCCC for 10 minutes. Normally the CDL test takes two hours to complete.
A commercial driver's license allows a person to operate heavy commercial trucks – such as 18-wheel tractors and trailers – and buses on the public highways. In order to obtain a CDL, a driver-applicant must first pass a written test. If the driver-applicant passes the written test, he is issued a temporary permit and must then take the practical "skills test" or "competency test" administered either by the Missouri State Highway Patrol or a third-party tester, such as SCCC. This second test requires the driver-applicant to physically demonstrate his knowledge and ability to inspect and safely drive a commercial vehicle. These tests are required and regulated by both federal and state laws.
Under federal statutes, each of the co-defendants could be subject to a sentence of up to five years in federal prison without parole, plus a fine up to $250,000. Sentencing hearings will be scheduled after the completion of presentence investigations by the United States Probation Office.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Randall D. Eggert. It was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department, the Kansas City, Kan., Police Department, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Overland Park, Kan., Police Department, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Missouri Department of Revenue, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, and the Springfield, Mo., Police Department.

Back to Reality and Looking to the Future
|January 9, 2011
|Posted by Katy under Breakfast, Dinner, Inspiration, Lunch, Upcoming races
(If you haven't already, check out my WDW Half- Marathon Recap! )
"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning." -Louis L'Amour
Whew! What a weekend! Back to normal life.
I really enjoyed being in my "Disney Bubble" and found it super difficult to leave this morning. Everything that I worked for since October is done. All the training is done. The race is done. I honestly woke up this morning with the "post-race blues." As we left the resort, we passed some of the marathon runners, and a lump in my throat formed. I wanted to cry. I guess the reality of everything I had achieved finally set in.
So, what's next? You'll have to wait until the end of this post to see. I have BIG plans!
Before heading back to Gainesville, we stopped at a supermarket to grab a few breakfast items. I was honestly tired of going out to eat and wanted yogurt! However, the store did not have Chobani, so I had to settle for another brand.
In the mix:
- 1 container plain Greek yogurt
- 1 small peach
- Handful of Kashi Heart to Heart cereal
- Handful of almonds
I spent the duration of the car drive to Gainesville catching up on some schoolwork. Once I made it back to Gainesville, I did some laundry and made lunch while I waited for my clothes to dry.
- Mixed greens
- Mushrooms
- Celery
- Tomatoes
- Water chestnuts
- Carrots
- Pineapple
- Blueberries
It may sound like a weird combination, but it actually was pretty tasty.
While at home, I talked to my parents about school for a little. Remember how I said I was taking 26 credits this semester? I realized that there is no way that I am going to make it through without having a few panic attacks over the next few months. So I decided it was in my best interest to drop a class. I decided to drop the marketing class because, while only an 8-week class, it had a lot of reading and projects during the time. I'm still taking 23 credits, but I can breathe a little easier!
At around 4pm I had to head back up to Jacksonville for a sorority meeting at 7. I said my goodbyes and headed back to my apartment. I had a good meeting (despite a little mix-up with my dues payment), and came back to the apartment to eat. I have no idea what my problem is but my appetite is all weird right now. :/
I had a roasted vegetable salad with a side of black beans. It does not look like much, but considering I was snacking all day, I was full!
Okay, food aside… I know you want to know my big plans for the next few months! ;)
I have signed up for two racing events coming up pretty soon!
First up:
On February 26th and 27th, I will be in Tampa running in the 2011 Gasparilla Distance Classic! I have decided to participate in the Beck's Light Challenge which consists of running a 15K, 5K, and a Half- Marathon, all on the same weekend! The 15K and 5K are on Saturday with the half on Sunday morning. I am super excited for this challenge, and my training program will be interesting. It will be difficult running 12.4 miles on one day and 13.1 only 24 hours later, but I am confident I will be able to do it!
My training plan is to be determined. I need to look over and analyze my Disney plan to see what worked and what did not. (Look for a post in the next few days!) I am hoping to finalize my training plan by tomorrow evening. I have seven weeks till the race and I really want to work on getting my half- marathon time down. I would like to amp up the amount of speed work and tempo runs, all while preventing injuries!
Half- marathon number three will be the IronGirl Half- Marathon in Clearwater, FL on April 10th. I am really excited for this event, one because it is only four days before my 21st birthday (happy early birthday to me! ), two because I've heard that the course is super fast, and three, I know that other bloggers will be running this (I know another Katy is running!). I know that this training is going to be a little weird because more than likely I will be taking a full week off from running right in the middle of training because of my spring break trip to Costa Rica. I am still trying to figure out how it will work and if it will hinder me in anyway, but I am excited for this race!
Oh, and did I mention it is an all female race? Girl power!
I'm sure I will have a few 5K's and 10K's thrown around in the mix during my training, but I am super excited for the next few months. It's a little crazy jumping from one training into another, but it keeps me motivated and striving for new goals.
This week I am reducing my mileage a little bit for good measure. I was a little sore today in my quads, but I have no IT band pain which was a miracle. Tomorrow I will take an easy run to stretch out the legs after a (well-deserved) rest day today.
Even though Disney is done and my first half- marathon is behind me, I hope that you will continue to follow my journey as I achieve new goals and PR's. I really appreciate all of the comments and encouragement you all give me everyday! I am a blessed girl!
Have a fantastic evening and week!

Wow that Beck's challenge sounds like fun! I am tempted to do the Iron Girl but I think I'm going to stick to the Florida Beach half in March so my husband can run it with me! I would love to see your training plan for the Beck's challenge though!
Your eats look absolutely delicious! I want that salad right now.
Congrats on the first 1/2 of many!
Yay those challenges sounds great The best way to cope with the post race blues is to book more races. The 3 races in one weekend sound challenging, but achievable which is what you need! I look forward to reading about how your training goes
Huge congrats again! And wow on the upcoming races!!! You are on a roll.
I'm running the Iron Girl Half, too!
Go you! It is so easy to sign up for a few more races after a post race high!!
Hey I just found your blog! Congratulations on the hfalf-marathon! I spectated a little of the WDW marathon last year and I was so inspired!
Looks like you have a bunch of great races lined up!
Finding an all-girl race is so great! Have a BLAST!!!

Windows 7 Professional 32bit.
Often BSOD first with XP, now with Windows 7 after reinstalation
I recently reinstaled my laptop but before doing so it was making blue screens at least once per day. Already with windows 7 I thought the problem is solved as it wasnt making me any troubles until yesterday. It blocked (anything was responding) and afterwords it started having problems with shutting down - freezing with the shut down screen; and also it stopped recognizing my external hard drive.
Any suggestions?

Happy Thanksgiving CFDR community! We, the coaches, are truly blessed and thankful to be part of such a fantastic community.
I'd like to take a moment to list a couple of things I'm thankful for:
- My family. They are super supportive and just good people to be around. They say you don't have to like your family, but you'll always love them. I'm fortunate enough to love my family AND actually like being around them.
- You, the CrossFit DoneRight members. Let's face it, some people dread going into work. You guys make the gym a place I am excited to wake up and go to in the morning.
Have a fantastic Thanksgiving and I hope to see as many of you as possible tomorrow morning for the CFDR Toys for Tots 5k!

My dread journey I believe started a couple years ago when I decided I wanted to loc up my hair someday. I couldn't get enough. I researched and researched (started out on the Knotty Boy website), bought some things here and there, tried a few dreads using wax and backcombing but my mother made me take them out (both times I did them, each time doing one or two locs only), and started coming up with ideas for…Continue

Try using like a silkier pillowcase instead of a cotton one if you haven't tried that yet. It's supposed to cause less friction on your head and you could also try pulling them back in a hairwrap before going to bed. I do that every once in a while. :D
Parting was super hard for me too! I had to have my boyfriend do the back of my head because I just couldn't get it myself lol But your dreads are looking great so far, I'm excited to see them once they're finished!
Thank you, I started off with backcombing and palm rolling for the first month or so, but it was useless so I switched to twist and rip :D
hey there dear..
thank you so much for the request.
hope you enjoy your journey a lot and find whatever you wish...
take care..

My View: It's not education; it's indoctrination
Date: December 22, 2011
by: Dean Kalahar | Guest Writer
It is assumed that public schools focus on a simple philosophy, teach kids how to read, write and add. But data show chronic academic deficiencies among students.
Parents, aware of the systemic ills in public education, think their children's schools are great and that problems happen "someplace else." This creates a paradox. If the three R's are supposed to be the guiding principles, is it possible that something else is driving the public school syllabus?
Colleges of Education, the National Education Association and textbook and curriculum developers embrace a therapeutic ideology broadly called "identity politics." They believe injustice and victimization of members in certain social groups entitles people to special treatment. Public schools act as the surrogate host, transmitting this view to unsuspecting students who are not immune from its influence.
Traditional principles for learning the basics based on accountability, opportunity and responsibility have been replaced with developing a "social consciousness." Let's look at what some call education and others indoctrination.
• Political correctness, or not offending certain gender, racial, cultural, sexual or religious classes is one tenet. The county has used an American history textbook that has been characterized in a review as "a propaganda tract." Its revisionist history and emphasis on the oppression of minorities, women and the poor taught white guilt instead of American exceptionalism. Competition and valedictorians have been replaced with speech codes and participation awards.
• Moral relativism/equivalency dictates there is no moral truth — natural rights or wrongs — and all value systems are equal, so judgments are evil. The county's 9/11 curriculum says to "challenge (students) to find the commonalities," between the 9/11 terrorists and Norway's recent killer. The International Baccalaureate mission suspends reason by stating students should "understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right."
• Social justice promotes equal outcomes because oppression has caused some people to have more than others. Florida school administers are evaluated on being "advocates for equity and social justice." The NEA "opposes any immigration policy," promotes reparations and believes "efforts to legislate English as the official language ... must be challenged."
• Multiculturalism promotes "group-differentiated rights," meaning special treatment is required under the ethos of diversity and tolerance. Florida teacher preparation programs demand teachers believe in "diversity" and practice "tolerance" before being certified.
• Sexism, sex education and family planning promote sexual orientation and gender identification. A Florida Celebrate Freedom Week lesson asks kids to "write a new Declaration of Sentiments from another viewpoint; e.g., gay rights." The National Youth Risk Behavior Survey, given in our schools is a morally questionable set of sexually explicit questions asked of children as young as 11. The NEA wants "the right to reproductive freedom," "school-based family planning clinics," and "rehabilitation for the assailant, and the protection of privacy" in sexual-assault cases.
• Bullying now means a focus on harassment against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. The school board has 13 pages of procedures on bullying.
• Globalism and environmentalism: The NEA says, "Allegiance to a nation is the biggest stumbling block to the creation of international government." Sustainability and global warming are religion.
Last, gifted education has been co-opted by misusing Multiple Intelligence Theory to define everyone as gifted. This has created a false sense of self-esteem and superiority that glorifies egos at a cost to those truly needing services.
If identity politics is what parents expect, then there is reason to celebrate the success of creating socially conscious kids who can't read, write or add. If parents don't accept identity politics as education, they have a serious challenge: how to inoculate their children and stop the indoctrination before it's too late.
Dean Kalahar teaches economics and psychology at Sarasota High School; he has authored three books, including "Practical Economics."

Fooled by Science
The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement
Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure disease, inspire awe, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's a perpetual temptation to drag it into problems where it may add little or even distract from the real issues. David Brooks appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who, enamored of science, are bound and determined to import the stuff into their thinking.
Brooks is, of course, familiar as a New York Times columnist and regular political commentator on the PBS NewsHour. His views are right of center but often moderate. He represents a gentle and somewhat eclectic brand of conservatism—he is, for example, pro-choice and fond of President Obama—and, not surprisingly, he is sometimes dismissed by mainstream Republicans. Though his newspaper and television duties have made him a household name, Brooks first gained fame as the author of Bobos in Paradise (2000), a best-selling and satirical look at "bourgeois bohemians," those who grew up on rock and roll and liberalism but who subsequently made a killing as entrepreneurs or trend-spotting businessmen. Brooks followed this up with On Paradise Drive (2004), another sly look at the sociology of contemporary America, but one that didn't fare as well as Bobos.1
In his latest book, Brooks shifts gears entirely. The Social Animal is more ambitious and, in some ways, more serious than his earlier books. Gone is the focus on what are likely passing fads in American culture and gone, at least largely, is the irreverent wit that characterized his previous efforts. Instead, The Social Animal is an attempt to write an accessible treatment of a set of weighty topics, many of which require Brooks to stretch in a distinctly scientific direction. The book, which was excerpted earlier this year in The New Yorker, focuses on big and somewhat diffuse questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't?
To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines, including evolutionary psychology, neurobiology, cognitive science, behavioral economics, education theory, and even the findings of marriage experts.
Given all this, you might expect The Social Animal to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox, and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of a chapter on evolutionary psychology, followed by one on child development, and so on, he tells a story. Following Rousseau's approach in Émile, Brooks makes his larger points within a fictional narrative. This literary conceit is presumably intended both to keep the reader's attention and to provide a natural frame for all the research that Brooks reports. So as the characters in his narrative live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development, and as they begin to date we hear about the biochemistry of sexual attraction. Nothing if not thorough, Brooks carries this conceit through to the death of one of his characters.
Although Brooks's scientific message is frustratingly unfocused, he emphasizes that the new sciences of human nature have revealed, among other things, the importance of the unconscious. Indeed "the central evolutionary truth is that the unconscious matters most." Though we like to pretend that our decisions and fates are mostly determined by deliberate ratiocination, our unconscious minds are, he says, saturated with instincts, biases, habits, and emotional responses that silently shape our most important attitudes and decisions. Similarly, Brooks says, research into human nature "reminds us of the relative importance of emotion over pure reason, social connections over individual choice, and character over IQ…." In a phrase, "The French Enlightenment, which emphasized reason, loses; the British Enlightenment, which emphasized sentiments, wins."
The Social Animal might seem an odd project for Brooks. He is neither a biologist nor a psychologist and his book takes him into some fairly technical literature. So why should he bother? One reason, he tells us near the start, is that he believes the problem of human nature is, in fact, connected to his day job as a political commentator. Public policy in the United States over the last century has, he says, often failed. Moreover, he insists that these failures have been characterized "by a single feature: Reliance on an overly simplistic view of human nature." Furthermore, Brooks is convinced that our public policies "will continue to fail unless the new knowledge about our true makeup is integrated more fully into the world of public policy…." Though Brooks offers few explicit policy recommendations in The Social Animal, some are implicit in his story.
The central characters in The Social Animal are Harold and Erica, a married couple whose lives make for the "happiest story you've ever read." Brooks's narrative actually begins with the courtship of Harold's parents, Rob and Julia (which leads him to survey the biology of human sexual attraction). We then follow Harold and Erica from infancy on.
Harold is a child of privilege. His parents vacation at fashionable resorts and move in a world of Fulbright scholars. They ensure, of course, that Harold receives a fine education, providing Brooks with the opportunity to talk about the science of learning. Harold, blessed with good looks and athletic prowess, is a popular kid with strong social skills. In adolescence, he discovers the life of the mind and develops into a more serious adult than one might have expected. He meets Erica, falls deeply in love, largely devotes himself to her, and takes up the quasi-professional study of history (he writes a few books and works at a think tank for a while).
Erica comes from a different world. She's Chinese-Mexican and grows up poor. Her father is largely absent from her life and her mother is largely overwhelmed. Erica's world is transformed by her admission to a charter school that immerses disadvantaged youths in a demanding culture that replaces expectations of failure with ones of elite colleges and financial success. (In case you missed it, Brooks's implied view is that poor kids need more than education; they need a whole new culture.) Erica, a talented teenager but one with anger management issues, is wowed by a businesswoman who visits her school and she sets her sights on a career in business. Over the years, Erica becomes a leader in the business community and rises to national prominence, eventually becoming secretary of commerce.
Harold and Erica's adult lives are characterized by professional satisfaction and considerable wealth. Their marriage, though sometimes strained, is mostly rewarding and rarely gets in the way of their professional ambitions. (Harold and Erica are also childless.) As they age, we watch them mellow and, ultimately, come to terms with their mortality.
Brooks's narrative is not without bumps. In places, Harold is an absurdly awkward mouthpiece for Brooks's ideas. (Brooks admits to the ventriloquism, noting that "there was a New York Times columnist whose views were remarkably similar to [Harold's] own….") In one passage, for example, Harold, like Brooks, becomes fascinated by the British Enlightenment. When Erica experiences problems at work, Harold earnestly explains how the ideas of Hume and Burke might help her at the office. (One wonders what those marriage experts would have to say.) And when Harold joins the think tank, The Social Animal devolves into a series of synopses of the papers he writes there—wonky nonfiction packaged halfheartedly as narrative.
On the whole, Brooks's story is serviceable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, in fairness, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers, under the tutelage of a talented young high school teacher, how to think on his own. And those tempted to dismiss Brooks as predictably conservative might be surprised by his sympathetic rendering of Erica's difficult childhood. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. In part, these problems involve Brooks's attempt to translate his tale into science.
One certainly can't fault Brooks's attempt to master the science that he reports. The Social Animal canvases an enormous technical literature—indeed several literatures—and Brooks has plowed through a good amount of it.
Despite this, Brooks never seems fully comfortable with all this science. He often appears ill at ease in a world of technical journals, disagreements among experts, and statistical measures of uncertainty. A working scientist knows, for example, that some findings are more secure than others, often because the former derive from studies that involved many subjects and the latter from studies that involved few.
Brooks doesn't seem to grasp this difference. To Brooks, science is science. It's all equally sound and can be taken at face value. His lack of expertise also presumably accounts for his occasional reliance on popular scientific journalism. Thus we're treated to conclusions from Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers and Jonah Lehrer's Proust Was a Neuroscientist, among others. Since these writers are also nonscientists, Brooks's analysis sometimes leaves us two steps removed from the actual scientist and his facts, facts that are often accompanied in the scientific literature by caveats or exceptions.
While Brooks concedes his lack of scientific savvy, it nonetheless leads him into several difficulties. For one thing, his arguments sometimes simply don't make sense. Brooks claims repeatedly, for instance, that the unconscious—that most important part of the mind—corresponds to a murky domain of the unpredictable, the irregular, and the nonlinear. Indeed rationality, he announces, can't acknowledge the importance of the unconscious because "once it dips its foot in that dark and bottomless current, all hope of regularity and predictability is gone." But none of this follows. A process can be both perfectly unconscious and perfectly predictable. You are not conscious, for example, of how you use visual information from one eye to fill in for the blind spot from the other eye but I can confidently predict that you are doing so now.2
Similarly, Brooks's talk of nonlinearity is a red flag warning of scientific naiveté. "Nonlinear" has a precise mathematical meaning: the relation between two variables when plotted on a graph doesn't look like a straight line. However, in Brooks's hands, it means something that's fuzzy or "cloudlike." But there's nothing fuzzy or cloudlike about, say, the change in the frequency of a gene under the action of natural selection; yet the relevant dynamics are nonlinear.3
Brooks also sometimes champions both of two opposing scientific views, apparently without appreciating the resulting absurdities. On several occasions, for example, he praises emergentism, the view that a whole (say, an organism) is greater than the sum of its parts. Emergentism is often taken as opposed to reductionism, the view that we can understand a whole by understanding its parts. ("Divide and conquer; the devil is in the details. Therefore, for decades we have been forced to see the world through its constituents.") But The Social Animal veers erratically between Brooks's endorsement of emergentism and his recitation of major accomplishments of reductionist science. Indeed the science that Brooks reports is mostly reductionist. There may not be a flat contradiction here but there is at least a serious tension and it's one to which Brooks seems oblivious.
1 This October Simon and Schuster will publish these two books together in one volume, The Paradise Suite, with a new introduction by Brooks. ↩
2 Some of Brooks's scientific findings are also crushingly banal. On their first date, Rob checks out Julia's curves and Brooks dutifully reports that studies show that men's eyes are drawn to the curve of women's breasts. Anyone who needs science to tell them that men like women's breasts may need to get out more often. ↩
3 While Brooks's difficulties are mostly scientific, others reflect sheer carelessness. Thus he tells us that "the brain is not separate from the body—that was Descartes' error," a claim that would require Descartes to be desperately confused about anatomy. Ironically, Brooks warns a few pages later that "it is important not to confuse brains with minds." ↩

The Center For Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) did a study recently on religious life and here are some of the reported findings:
The NRVC reports that religious are an aging population overall, with most communities reporting diminishing numbers. According to the institutional survey results, about 75 percent of finally professed men and 91 percent of finally professed women are aged 60 and over, while a majority of those under the age of 60 are in their 50s.However, some religious orders are attracting new members and a few are experiencing "significant growth." "Men's communities and women's communities following more traditional practices have better success attracting younger members today," the NRVC says.Looking at the big picture, the report finds that a majority of religious communities have at least one person in formation but only about 20 percent had more than five people in initial formation. Further, some responding institutes had recently merged, increasing the proportion of those institutes with postulants.The survey reports that most new religious members want to live, work and pray with other members of their community. New entrants prefer to live in large communities of eight or more, while institutes in which members live alone face challenges attracting new members.Older entrants to a community are drawn to its mission, while younger entrants look for an institute's fidelity to the Church. Younger members also seek to wear a religious habit.
Here are some findings directly from the study (pdf) emphasis added:
• Younger respondents are more likely than older respondents to say they were attracted to religious life by a desire to be more committed to the Church and to their particular institute by its fidelity to the Church. Many also report that their decision to enter their institute was influenced by its practice regarding a religious habit. Significant generational gaps, especially between the Millennial Generation (born in 1982 or later) and the Vatican II Generation (born between 1943 and 1960), are evident throughout the study on questions involving the Church and the habit. Differences between the two generations also extend to questions about community life as well as styles and types of prayer.
Then there are the "Best Practices". Very interesting, because almost all orders do what is mentioned in the first bullet, so I don't know how it could be considered a "best practice" if it isn't working for many of them:
One point - wearing a habit does not equal fidelity. But, in most cases the religious who wear a habit are those who don't have issues with remaining faithful to Church teaching. But, as is the case with the Apostles of the Interior Life who work here at St. Mary's, there are exceptions to the rule. They are an extremely faithful and orthodox community, but they don't wear a habit, for several reasons - one is because in their work of evangelization a habit is off-putting for those who are not en-culturated into church life.
Best Practices in Vocation Ministry• The findings from the study suggest a number of "best practices" for vocation promotion. These include instilling a "culture of vocations" and involving membership and leadership in concerted vocation promotion efforts; having a full-time vocation director who is supported by a team and resources; using new media, especially websites and other online presence; offering discernment programs and other opportunities for potential candidates to meet members and learn about the institute; and targeting college students and young adults as well as elementary and high school students to expose them to the possibility of religious life and inform them about the institute.• Although these practices can have a positive impact on attracting and retaining new members, the research suggests that it is the example of members and the characteristics of the institute that have the most influence on the decision to enter a particular institute. The most successful institutes in terms of attracting and retaining new members at this time are those that follow a more traditional style of religious life in which members live together in community and participate in daily Eucharist, pray the Divine Office, and engage in devotional practices together. They also wear a religious habit, work together in common apostolates, and are explicit about their fidelity to the Church and the teachings of the Magisterium. All of these characteristics are especially attractive to the young people who are entering religious life today.
