For your perusal, I present to you, in vivid Technicolor even, a recent interaction with people of my former faith, Mormonism who claim that Mormonism is true and cannot be proven false and if you leave it, you are probably just depressed, sinning, or lazy…

One cannot prove mormonism false

So? Neither has Catholicism been proven false (in their view). Nor has Islam. Nor Jehovah's Witnesses, Nor Eckankar. Even Scientologists believe that Scientology has not been proven false. Evangelical Christians "know" that Mormonism is false. It's all subjective to the perspective.
QUOTE(Fairboards Poster @ Nov 14 2006, 07:29 AM)
And this is why, Noggin, that you will not hear me say that all the above religions are false. All have the pieces of truth inside of them. However, in the mormon case, there is a book which is claimed to be of devine origin. And this claim has not been proven false. And that is my point. Those who leave Mormonism do not leave because of falseness but rather because of a perceived falseness. And it is this perceived falseness of feeling that many [like you, Noggin] attempt to use to destroy someone's faith in the Mormon church.
And that is dishonest and a problem.
Hi, Fairboards Poster. Just a question. I will leave your claim that the Book of Mormon has not been proven false on the table for now. You claim that Mormonism is true because the Book of Mormon has not been proven false. You claim that the other religions I listed are not false but you extend a qualifier in that the other religions have only pieces of the truth inside of them, suggesting that they are found lacking when compared to Mormonism. If they are found lacking, then they, by default, do not have all of the truth, and thus are incapable of saving a man's soul. Else what would it matter that Mormonism claims to have all of the truth pertaining to god's outlined organization on earth today?
Do you claim that Mormonism has all of the pieces of truth inside of it?
I guess that you do.
Do you say that the Qur'an's divine origin has been proven false? Can you prove that? There are many who believe that they can prove it. But then we see 2 billion Muslim souls who vigorously refute that they have succeeded. Yet I do not see you running out to face Mecca 5 times a day on your knees. You are the Mormon version of the 2 billion Muslim stalwarts. You are no different. You believe that your book has not been proven false while many believe that it is… else we would be along side you, linked arms, singing the anthems of Joseph Smith.
In the end, there is no proof against religion except logic or probability for the case that it is all invented to assuage our human fears against scary unknown existential death conundrums.
In this very thread [on FAIR] we have painfully read the words of a few practicing, struggling, Mormons who admit that they cannot get any gods to talk or respond to them. This is a pervasive problem. The more I talk to people around me about how god interacts with them, the more I see how selective the gods are. And it raises a legitimate red flag. One person has private 2-way conversations with her god on a daily basis while the rest of us are, what? shunned? If god exists, it would not be so selectively capriciously hit and miss with it's creation.
Yours in the spirit of [a reknowned Book of Mormon Atheist villain],
I do not know everybody that claim's God is talking to them on a regular basis is always experiencing a conversation. People can get carried away by feelings, and get worked up into thinking God talks to them.
Who say's God is shunning the person because he does not visible talk to them? I have had the presence of the Holy Spirit in a mild way manifest. That to me is God talking to me. So I don't have to have others mighty experiences in order to believe in God. I can have the best experience with God I can, and thats ok. Even if my experience is from my own subjective feelings to a degree that's ok with me.
I think that you have to make sure before you approach trying to experience God that you don't suffer from depression. Depression can make you feel very apathetic towards spiritual things. I have suffered a chronic illness the last three years. I have been depressed. I don't have as many warm fuzzy experience as I used to.
Read faith promoting literature. Listen to spiritual music. Nuture what faith you have. If yu don't do that you are more likely to [leave Mormonism] than those who stay. Church attendance takes discipline. I have been to ill lately to be that disciplined. But I try & set apart some time for spiritual things. I am horrible at prayer, but I try & read spiritual things.
I should probably give up…...... This is way weird. It's me 4 or 5 years ago. You know, perhaps this man is depressed because god simply does not work reliably enough. What if that was the case? I know I battled mild depression for decades off and on due, in part, from cowering frequently from my god for feeling like a sinful schmuck and never getting any where with god's approval mechanism.
Interesting. Did you notice a sudden lifting of your depression when you left the church Noggin?
Also, Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, said that the Flying Spegetti Monster can't be disproven either.
ALL HAIL the Flying Spaghetti Monster! :twisted:
I did experience bouts of depression in Mormonism. Especially towards the end when I was going back and forth trying to figure out if it was bogus or not. I can't tell you adequately how horrific it was to feel so alone among my family and friends. What was wrong with me, you know? Why did I figure all this out and no one else? Why were they all so adamant against looking at what I found out? And why make me feel so shitty for trying to get to the bottom of it?
Then I'd give Mormonism another try… a good heave ho effort of redoubling and recommitment. Perhaps I just needed to read more scriptures and pray and fast (no eating or drinking for 24 or more hours) more. ??? Maybe God was testing me. The depression was worst at the end. I had all of these church responsibilities and hardly the will or desire to fulfill them all. I was supposed to attend the temple once a month, visit and administer to about 4 families needs each month, teach the 19-41 year old men on about a weekly basis which required that I prepare an invigorating "sermon" that usually lasted about 30 minutes… and which was designed to motivate these men according to the assigned topic at hand… the duties were many and I just could not find the strength to go out and do it any more. In my church, resigning was not an option. Unless you reveled in failure. Asking to be released from church duties was done by those who had extreme hardship and sometimes was not granted even though the individual asked for it.
Anyhow. I am sure that sums up nicely how I was able to experience depression relevant to my religion. I can also say that as I approached the decision finally to leave the church, I was counseled that satan was deceiving me and I needed to be strong and will myself to be more faithful and this trial of faith would eventually pass and I would be all the stronger for it. I asked why god would abandon me in my hour of need. I had prayed my guts out for about a year full time. All I got was silence. The reply? God abandoned his son Jesus also when Jesus was on the cross. Gee thanks.
It's all part and parcel dogmatics. Its so thick that when you are in it you just cannot see it.
Coming out of Mormonism was like a fog lifted from my life and I saw things in brilliant technocolor for the first time. That has somewhat faded but I still appreciate being able to "do" life as it makes sense to me. Those tradewinds are enough to fill my sails and send me on down the island chains. It just feels so great to know I can stop at any island, coe or just drift if drifting is on my agenda that day. My kids are what matter most to me, I hope to show them how rich life can be.
I forgot to mention the experience I had at our Stake Conference (regional Mormon meeting) yesterday. Again, I attend to support my wife in what she believes. I am always amused with the preaching out against the "evil world". Is our world really all that evil? Was the world but only a few generations ago really all that puritanical or is that just selective hindsight? This "our world is so evil" tripe probably ranks among the top three themes that The Bretheren in Mormonism use in just about every point of doctrine that they discuss over the pulpit. Here is an example:
The Internet is good, what a wonderful tool! But remember Satan has commandeered this technology and is using it to feed our childrens minds full of pornography, violence and subtle agendas of tolerance for things against god. We must be ever vigilent against the adversary lest we slip and fall into a pit of despair.
Now I agree that pornography is not something I want my kids to be around. But I don't want them growing up in a bubble either. Women, imo, should not be objectified, and pornography can do that. But does it really take a church in my life to enforce that? Maybe it helps to hear messages like the one I just quoted above on a regular basis.
Another example:
Marrige is a holy union between a man and a wife approved by god. The World is trying desperately to blur the lines between what god has approved and what has been decreed an abomination.
The ever ready call to arms for the Anti-Gay marriage agenda. I still haven't figured out how two men or two women marrying affects my marriage in any way.
and the third example:
Today is a wonderful day to recommit yourself to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Your Heavenly Father wants you to read your scriptures daily and draw near to him on your knees in prayer. This will strengthen your convictions and renew your ability to serve in his kingdom here on earth.
This could easily read:
Today is a wonderful day to reindoctrinate yourself into believing unquestioningly and unflinchingly ever word that we tell you is true. We want you to read your scriptures and pray mightily in searching yourself for how true our words (dogma) feels. Then give yourself up to us, your time, your talents, your money.
I found that statement to be false. Truth cannot be verified by how things feel. Once this Mormon methodology for establishing what is true and what must be therefore false lost its luster, I no longer had the power to follow it. In fact, I can hardly see how that formula ever made sense at all.
I guess I am completely in the minority as practically everyone else I know does this prescription for verifying Truth and declares it to be wonderfully bullet proof. In fact, it was just that this oft touted formula failed to do what was promised that eventually lead me away from the church.
And hell, as if this is not long enough I present the fourth item for review in this curriculum (Pop Quiz—likely tomorrow):
My dear brothers and sisters today we live in the final winding up scene, even the last days before the great and terrible day of judgement when Jesus descends in his clouds of glory to usher in the final millenium. Make no mistake about it, our world is ever ripening for destruction and we cannot afford to be found seperated from the flock. These are the days when mens' hearts shall fail them, wickedness will abound, and lofty pride shall be one of the terrible scourges of the earth.
You have to appreciate the doom and gloom factor. Couldn't leave that out… as it's another staple dietary necessity for just about every sermon given in that church. Nevermind that for the last 175 years this earth has always been deemed "extremely wicked" by whatever current prophet of that day.
Thus concludes this chronicle. There you have just read but a few selected tidbits from two current apostles of the lord jesus christ. If you ever wondered what they talk about in mormon regional conferences, now you know. It isn't exactly bad stuff, but it is chalk full of dogma.
[quote author="Noggin"]Again, I attend to support my wife in what she believes.
And two weeks out of every month, she goes to support YOU in the worship of YOUR choice, right? No, I thought not.

And is, therefore, "bad stuff". You must not mind it that much.

It's often assumed that I am steam rolled over here. She does support me in significant ways. I don't have to attend church with her, but it makes her happy. It's kind of like going grocery shopping with her. I really can think of one hundred things I'd rather do, but she likes puttering through the aisles once in awhile with me so I go.
I honestly feel she loves me even though I took off the named sacred underwear and quit on her dreams of having an "eternal family" bond. So for at least 2 or 3 hours a month she does demonstrate that she supports what I believe.
Noggin wrote: It isn't exactly bad stuff, but it is chalk full of dogma.

I think it's more along the lines that I wear a teflon coating these days. The stuff doesn't stick to me anymore. It took several years off and on for me to develop this capability.
I believe my posting "Chronicles" might allow people who cruise over here to see what's what in the "cult" section (those like "alloutjeff", an ex-JW) peek into another similar world and help them see they aren't the only ones who belong or belonged to a truly authoritarian based dogma machine. Seeing such a machine in a different shape, size or color can be eye poppingly refreshing.
I should mention here that if the reader hasn't been immersed in any culture like this, it can be difficult for them to understand the fascination and the collosial tractor beam pull those struggling to get out of it face. Those of us who have successfully deconstructed, I think, have a duty—if they care at all about others in this plight who might wonder what they are involved in—to shed light on the subject.
My mom and I were talking of matters Mormonia the other night, and we wondered what happens to the Mormon wife who dies before her husband? What if it's even decades before? Is she temporarily placed on some other man's planet, in his harem, to await her husband's death, or is she held in a sort of stasis, as he lives out his mortal days with a second and possibly third earthly wife?
Part Deux of the question—and I can't remember if Mormons can reproduce in the afterlife—but if they can, what if that wife has some other man's children before her 'real' husband arrives? Who gets custody of the offspring when he finally shows up to fetch his wife and take her back to his own planet?
Oh Hi Mia!
[quote author="Mia"]Nogs,
My mom and I were talking of matters Mormonia the other night, and we wondered what happens to the Mormon wife who dies before her husband?
Well, according to the story line, the two of them are sealed for eternity to each other. There is one caveat. They can be together forever only if both of them were completely faithful to the Mormon ideals while they lived on earth. This includes paying 10% of ones income to the church, no drinking, no smoking, no sex outside of marriage in any way shape or form.. even imaginary sex. That and a required willingness to devote anywhere from 5 to 20 hours or more per week to working in the church in various capacities. Hung over the heads of the members is the dangling carrot that if they do not perform the traditional role as dictated by the current living prophet of God on earth, and do so willingly and happily (service with a smile), they will not inherit celestial glory with their spouses. They do not have a prayer to become a god in the next world.
what happens to the wife if she dies prior to the husband? The traditional belief is that she is ushered into the spirit world where she will be kept very busy doing a variety of tasks in preparation for Jesus' 2nd coming. Lots to do there! It is pretty certain among most Mormons that the dead assist in the monumental task of assimilating the huge amount of names of other dead who died without a knowledge of Mormonism. These must, under Mormon law, be baptised into Mormonism in the temples posthumously. Yes, this means that one day every person reading this post (YES—YOU) will be baptized posthumously into the mormon church. If you have a birth certificate, regardless of nation or creed, you will eventually be considered Mormon by the living mormons after your death. Or at least, having had the opportunity to be Mormon. If Mormonism is true, though, what dead idiot is going to say NO Thanks to the dead mormon missionaries preaching to them. I mean, logically, it is not like there will be competing Jehovah's Witnesses or Catholic doctrine to choose from, eh? So what then? Those who aren't Mormon can live a riotous life now and then accept Mormonism later when it is obviously the really for reals true church? (just hypothetically speaking of course…).
Sidebar note: Jews are currently raising a huge stink about this and have gone rounds with the Mormon church protesting the baptising of their Jewish ancestory into Mormonism. Mormons agreed to quit it, but the rumor is that they still do it but keep no record (traceable ones that is) of the baptism.
It's written that every soul shall have the opportunity to accept or reject Mormonism as the saving gospel for mankind either in this life or the next.
So busy busy busy. The dead are doing a host of activities in connection with this salvation post humous baptism activity. Included in this work is rumored to be much missionary work in a place called "Spirit Prison". Spirit Prison is that place where all the Non mormon souls go after they die. If you die faithful Mormon, you don't go there. But so, much preaching to the non mormon souls is done. Those who are preached to in Spirit Prison hear the Mormon version of gospel and can then accept the message "on faith" that Mormonism is true. If they do this, their names are placed in a holding tank until someone on earth, a living temple worthy Mormon, goes to some temple on some continent and gets baptised for the person that accepted the message in Spirit Prison.
Many tales are told about desperate disembodied spirits haunting their progentors to get their work done. My own father had a dream once where he dreamed his dead father (who incidentally died non mormon, eschewing his son's religion to his death, ) screamed out my fathers name in order to get his attention that his Mormon baptism needed to be done… PRONTO. That year we all high tailed it to the temple and he baptised me for his father's sake. As I came out of the water, my dad said into the air something to the effect, "Well Dad, your work is done, you can now enter the Kingdom".
What if it's even decades before?
Sorry. I got side tracked. It doesn't matter if it is decades. Usually, if the marriage is strong when she dies, that serves as a great motivator for the husband to ratchet up his commitment to Mormonism so he can be sure to see his sweetie pie again.
Normally, he will get married again to another woman in the temple. If the woman is not married to another man, the man will now have two wives or three as the case maybe (if he has two dead wives already etc). This is how Mormon polygamy is practiced today in mainstream Salt Lake mormonism. I know several Mormon men who are in this situation. Most of them openly embrace polygamy principles as a divine principle. They are married to their current wife, but still consider themselves married to their previous wife (wives) and love them all, they say, equally. It is a given that this man and the live wife understand that when they all die the three or four of them etc will live a life together that includes polygamous marriage.
If the woman is already married for eternity to another man and this man has died, she can get married to another man but not for eternity, for earth time only. Its a wierd deal. It's basically a companionship gig only.
Is she temporarily placed on some other man's planet, in his harem, to await her husband's death, or is she held in a sort of stasis, as he lives out his mortal days with a second and possibly third earthly wife?
Okay. Mormons believe that one cannot govern a planet as a god until they are exhalted as one. This cannot happen until they are resurrected. The resurrection cannot happen until Jesus comes again. There are rarest of rare exceptions. Joseph Smith is rumored to already be a god.
Therefore, she is not placed on another man's planet, though I guess in theory she could be if several exceptions to status quo rules and regs were made. Traditional exegis of the doctrines dictate that usually, the dead serve god in the capacity of missionary work getting the temple work furthered along for the ushering in of the great and terrible day of the lord. Then the resurrection happens, then the crown of Godhood, if earned, might be bestowed to a select few who are worthy enough for it. Then the planets can be created by these who will reign over them as "Kings and Queens unto the most high".
Part Deux of the question—and I can't remember if Mormons can reproduce in the afterlife—but if they can, what if that wife has some other man's children before her 'real' husband arrives?
See, no, the traditional model serves out that reproduction of spirit offspring will happen only to those who qualify to become gods through proving themselves here on earth to the God of this planet that they are strong willed enough to exercise faith in Mormonism that they can be trusted with the powers of Godhood. Mormonism is pretty far out there stuff. That only serves to make the "test of faith" all the more challenging.
Okay. These who prove themselves faithful to Mormonism on earth will then be able to create galaxies and planets and then go about populating them with spirit offspring for eternity. BUT. In order to become a god, one must first be resurrected. So you see that procreation, for mormons, is extremely sacred as the human couple becomes tandem with God in very deed by providing mortal bodies for the spirit offspring created by the God of their planet.
Now you might see why homosexuality is such an abboration among Mormons.
Who gets custody of the offspring when he finally shows up to fetch his wife and take her back to his own planet?
not applicable.
I could talk all day about this. Writing it out reinforces how bizarre it all is to me now. But it was so perfectly June Cleaver normal to me once upon a time.
The thing about creating galaxies and planets makes me wonder if L. Ron Hubbard borrowed some of those ideas for Scientology.
Hi rab
I wouldn't be surprised. But only as primer. Mormons have a planet they named Kolob pegged as the home where God is. Scientology has Xenu or Xenon as I recall. Hubbard's tale of the thetans and nuclear bombs exploding is more creative, imo.
Back to the wierd deal. I hope you don't mind but I had another thought real quick here.
Quote Mia:
Who gets custody of the offspring when he finally shows up to fetch his wife and take her back to his own planet?
Noggin responded: not applicable.
But what is applicable is the scenario my dad is now in. He is marrying again in May. This lady is already married for eternity to her husband who just died last year. So. Dad and his fiance are "pledged" for eternity to other spouses. Both know that they are marrying for "Time" only. When both die, that's it they go back to their other spouses.
Meanwhile, here on earth en vivo, they share conjugals etc and have some very good times and laughs for say 2 decades. I don't understand the premise of love that these two people are pledging to each other. My dad has a picture of my mom on his desk, and right beside it is a picture of his fiance. He told me he has two women that he loves now. But it's so wierd.
In a sense, my father has to have a looming qualifier placed on the end of the sentance he utters to this new flame of his.
I love you so much… (uh, but when we die I don't love you like I do now.. in fact, I won't be able to love you whatsoever because I'll then go back to my 1st wife and you go back to your 1st husband to whom we are eternally sealed.)
That's a very strange qualifier. Like I said, it's a companionship gig.
BUT they both know this is a companionship gig and they both fully believe that they will part ways at death and go back to their 1st spouses. BUT having shared conjugals and all that, how weird is that? Assume for a second there is an afterlife and all four of them made it to the status of a God…
What if 1st spouse was a lousy lay? Wouldn't there be a nagging pining away for the good stuff in the eternities? Or lets not be crass here, what if two decades of marriage is enough to determine that the two that married for time really love each other more than they loved their first spouses? What then?
And how awkward, as a god, to bump into the woman you shared 2 very pleasant decades with on earth… ah, the makings of a Mormon soap opera. As The World, Kolob, Turns. Days on Kolob. Hee hee. But, of course, since you are a god… and you bump into your significant other that you loved for 2 decades… what will your god wife think? They can't be jealous, you know. No pining away possible. They are gods! It's kind of comical. I do not understand how my dad cannot think about this stuff and not go crazy admitting he believes it.
You don't actually need to respond—It's all so bizarre. I should ask my dad how he compartmentalizes all of this. We have talked and he repeatedly affirms how much he loves his new fiance. He is early 60's and is like a drug addict for her opiate. Kid in a candy store. It's good… I mean.. he was hardly this happy with my mom. He's lost weight, he is more friendly than I have seen him ever…. a bounce in his step you know? I hate to say it, but it is quite possible that there could come a day when life is so blissful, the sex so incredibly different, her touch so wonderfully distinct… that my mom might become more of a troubling fixture in his mind. As in his feelings run the risk of becoming too deep for this new love… how wierd would that be to be married to someone, Mia, and constantly have to stem back your feelings so you don't love them too much (out of respect for your dead wife).
Oh man.
Noggin, that was amazing. Thanks for strolling me through at least a few chapters of this intense sci-fi epic.
I have to believe that's a big part of it—that the whole epic nature of the plan is very enticing to the human mind, which seems to naturally attach itself to good (or even bad) storytelling. Mormons get to feel like they are crucial participants, actors in this far-reaching storyline, with all sorts of possible pitfalls and triumphs hanging in the balance. The progression of the story depends on them! The fates of souls! What could be more compelling?
Can't say as Catholicism had anything that interesting mapped out. We could look forward to Pergatory and, ideally, Heaven, but the details were very sketchy and stilted. And where they weren't sketchy (or simply fabricated in extra-biblical literature), they were unappealing, at least to me. But what guy wouldn't want to aim for an eternal harem, and lordship over his own planet? It's the women I wonder about—how they can embrace that whole idea. But I guess by now nothing should shock me about the capacity of humans to accept and even adore what is lined up for them, even if it repulses other people.
So, if I understand correctly, until Jesus returns, much of the greater storyline remains on hold? All the dead can do in the afterlife, for the time being, is a lot of busywork and tidying-up of their souls, and the souls of the non-Mormon dead?
It also sounds as if a great deal depends on the behavior of the husband in the Mormon marriage. After all, if he slips up, and maybe fantasizes about his neighbor's hot wife, even once or twice, he is jepordizing the whole deal for both he and his wife (or wives), right? And it would even screw things for the kids? For example, if the wife dies, and ten years later her still-living husband either has an affair or has a series of sexual fantasies, then he has basically trashed her eternity, right? She's cast adrfit, or doomed to busywork forever, or maybe then assigned to a new harem? Where she once could count on his arrival, and, possibly, the whole "we got our own planet, honey!" scenario, instead she is now approached and informed, presumably in hushed tones, that her hubby messed up and unfortunately her path is now going to change because of that. Sheesh.
Sorry if I am way off base here. . .

I used to have a field day with Catholics in Spain. Our church was a complete abboration to most of the preists. I would walk down Las Ramblas and get heckled almost daily.
Brainwashers! Zombie Cult!
I was spit on, harrassed, all for the name of Jesus. It so empowered me. I gloried in it. Oh well. Catholicism was very bleak to me. I admit that I enjoyed (and still do on occasion) sitting in the basillicas. There is such history in Europe. Something grounding (to me) about sitting in such old edifices.
So, if I understand correctly, until Jesus returns, much of the greater storyline remains on hold? All the dead can do in the afterlife, for the time being, is a lot of busywork and tidying-up of their souls, and the souls of the non-Mormon dead?
Yeah kind of. It's the whole enchilada wrapped up Millenium thing. When Jesus comes (any day now as this world gets "increasingly evil",) the great and dreadful last battle ensues, Jesus triumphs over evil, Satan is bound for 1000 years and during that time the Mormon temples will run 24/7 and the whole earth will be filled with billions of mormons doing little more than missionary and temple work for the hosts of billions and billions of deceased. Since Jesus just got done with his 2nd coming, most of the world will turn to and embrace Mormonism, you see.
Then Satan is unleashed for one last time to do his final reaping, another very terrible battle takes place on earth, Satan is defeated forever and the earth is transformed into it's paradasiacal glory. It becomes a sea of glass.
Then the judgement day happens where all are judged of their works and the faithful get crowned gods and godesses and that is when they can start as gods making planets and solar systems… populating each planet with spirit offspring… making their own adam and eve start things in motion on each planet… and each adam and eve have a tempting snake too.
I'll stop. The entire shpeel is fatally flawed beginning with what moron would, after seeing Jesus ride down from the clouds declaring Mormonism as his true church, turn it down? Yet it is prophecy that so many will do just that.
It also sounds as if a great deal depends on the behavior of the husband in the Mormon marriage. After all, if he slips up, and maybe fantasizes about his neighbor's hot wife, even once or twice, he is jepordizing the whole deal for both he and his wife (or wives), right?
Probably 50% of every Mormon authority speech I ever heard deals with repentance. It is supposed to work somewhat like this: If you are striving to be Christlike, you receive his image on your countenance and as you draw nearer to Jesus, you lose the desire to do any evil until the perfect day.
Part and parcel to that is how all are supposed to, even required to repent daily and start over. Sincere repentance is supposed to cure people of lust, drinking habits, drug addictions, spousal abuse, pornography addictions, child molesting tendencies.. backbiting, habitual lying, laziness, slothfulness, pride, and a host of other things. Jesus is supposed to work magic in people's lives. And you know that many are able to change. But… anyhow. It's not Jesus. It's them.
And it would even screw things for the kids? For example, if the wife dies, and ten years later her still-living husband either has an affair or has a series of sexual fantasies, then he has basically trashed her eternity, right?
I can find early sources that say something to that effect, yes. BUT. Mormonism has evolved. For instance. I no longer believe at all… but my wife still does… and devoutly. When we die, the doctrine states that I will be a goat herded to the left and she will be a sheep herded to the right (it's a metaphor). It is said now that she will be assigned another mate and assumedly she will get to have some say in the matter. BUT. Theoretically, she will never be the 1st wife of a man. She will be one of the wives of some worthy righteous man who lived up to the Mormon ideals while he lived on earth.
Incidentally, she chooses to not believe in that part of Mormonism. I applaud her wisdom.
I asked her once if she'd come visit me in hell… which is basically where I am self-assigning myself according to the doctrines she believes in. We have fun with it kind of not really.
She's cast adrfit, or doomed to busywork forever, or maybe then assigned to a new harem? Where she once could count on his arrival, and, possibly, the whole "we got our own planet, honey!" scenario, instead she is now approached and informed, presumably in hushed tones, that her hubby messed up and unfortunately her path is now going to change because of that. Sheesh.
Well… see above.
Hey Noggin'—
I enjoy reading the detailed accounts you provide of the Mormon beliefs. It makes me think that maybe there should be a book of sacred writings that actually contains the truth about these things. For instance, after your death, if you happened to be buried in the same cemetery, next to your wife… say, in pine boxes without all that cement liner and permanent seal kind of nonsense…. Well then, you and your wife could very well be together for all eternity. As a matter of fact, you could even be part of another planet someday. Right? On a molecular level? Maybe all these crazy stories in these crazy religions aren't really so crazy after all. Maybe they're just telling the truth, but in a confused and unclear way. What do you think? Okay—very confused, and very unclear… but still…
[quote author="woofy"]Hey Noggin'—
I enjoy reading the detailed accounts you provide of the Mormon beliefs.
thanks. It's cathartic, you can tell by the way I get totally distracted as I write it.
It makes me think that maybe there should be a book of sacred writings that actually contains the truth about these things.
That's the trick. what exactly is the truth.

oh! totally! except there is no more me when the lights go out and my body achieves room temperature. Having no religion really sucks sometimes It used to be so romantic to have an afterlife all planned out. I never did enjoy paying for that afterlife every month though (10% of my gross income to be exact).
Maybe all these crazy stories in these crazy religions aren't really so crazy after all. Maybe they're just telling the truth, but in a confused and unclear way. What do you think? Okay—very confused, and very unclear… but still…
yeah, I tried to think about what you just wrote and aw no I can't give them that much credit See if the truth is that bodies decay back to dust and that's it… then I have to say that the embellishments stemming from that truth going on out there in religion are HEINOUS whoppers!! btw, If I had my druthers though and had to pick a religion I think I'd be happy with one that held reincarnation as tierra firma.
10% of gross income for every mormon? Holy Mackerel! That's alot of money. Where does it all go? Not just to temple maintenance, I would imagine. Missionary schools maybe? Printing new books of Mormon? Do they use any of it for good old charity type stuff? building hospitals and schools in third world countries and the like? maybe donating to research on renewable energy and agriculture? I still think religious groups can and often do do alot of good with all their moolah. Maybe someday, all the dross of God will be burned off, and what will be left is the shining gold of charitable acts of good will. It could happen. I do believe.

For Harriet
Most of the BSKG Board met last night and began to wrap things up from our 1st successful year, and we began to look forward to programming and planning for next fall. (I haven't even gotten my first sunburn of the season, and we're already thinking about September! It's hard for me to wrap my head around.) We'll share some of the details with you next week at our last meeting for the 2006-07 year.
Just because we're heading into our last meeting, doesn't mean there's not a TON of fun planned for the summer. Kim has led us in some AWESOME field trips and retreats, and she's got more up her sleeve for the summer. Next up is a trip to Lansing and ThreadBear Fiber Art Studio as well as Rae's Yarn Boutique. Both have great selections of yarn, interesting samples and knowledgeable staff to help us spend our money. ThreadBear publishes a weekly email newsletter that includes links to free patterns. If you don't have time to surf the net on your own, you'll want to sign up for it. . .lots-o-knitting eye candy will come right to your mailbox!
Our May meeting is this Tuesday. We'll be having a light dinner of sandwiches and salad catered by The Coffee Beanery. (Cost for dinner is $12, please RSVP by this weekend so we have a close count. . .you can pay at the meeting if you haven't yet)
We'll also be having our first annual "Swap and Sale". The event is intentially loosely planned hoping to encourage creativity and fun. We want our members to clean out their stashes and bring those yarns, patterns, needles and knitting bags for us to oogle and perhaps go home with. The pricing is completely up to you. Some of us may want to recoup some of the money we spent on the yarn, others may simply want to swap it for something else. The choice is up to you! There will be conference tables set up in the hallway, we'll be eating in the Home-Ec room. Come prepared to barter, haggle, swap and perhaps hand over some cash. Hopefully, we'll go home with some new treats to dream of knitting. As always, Judith can collect yarn you want to donate for charity knitting if you have some.
I'll even throw in a prize for the ugliest item (as voted on by members). . .now if that isn't a challenge, I don't know what is!
Glad to be back,
Pictures next time. Promise.

Hmmmm. Harrassing and harumphing, eh? Well, maybe I should take that as a compliment. I think I will, cause I sure don't want to take it as a criticism. LOL!
Glad to see you back in the saddle(so to speak). Hope someone writes a bit about the retreat and how great it was. I finished my moebius last night and did steam block it. Unfortunately, now it's a bit too big, so I think I'll have to wet block it and hope it'll get back to being a bit smaller. It does look great though. 8D

YIKES! I just realized that you posted at 4:47 AM. I certainly didn't mean for you to lose any sleep in order to write a post! Sorry about that.

I don't have your email address or phone number, but am hoping this gets to you soon. Would you have the fall 2004 issue of Interweave Knit magazine? Or know someone who does? I'm trying to locate a pattern for the Flower Basket Shawl that was in that issue. If you do, please contact me (email@example.com) - thanks and hope you have a great weekend.

Kent County Levy Court commissioners are considering helping Homeowners Associations with gathering fees.
More than 50 members of local Homeowners Associations attended the Nov. 6 Kent County Levy Court meeting, intent on finding a resolution to the problem of how to get deadbeat community members to pay their required dues.
HOAs are charged with collecting money from community residents to pay for services such as storm water pond maintenance, upkeep of common areas and snow removal.
Problems arise, often causing dissention within the community, when someone decides they no longer wish to pay the fee, but continue to receive services from the HOA. Studies have shown between five and 10 percent of HOA members do not pay their dues.
It's an issue many HOAs have struggle with for years, but it now appears Levy Court is considering a solution.
HARP committee chairman Ben Kuntz told commissioners when HOAs fail, consequences can be widespread.
"Some [HOAs] have significant delinquencies to the point they do not have sufficient funds to manage their properties as required," Kuntz said. "This eventually will require the HOA to default, leaving the county and state the question of what to do."
Commissioners expressed concern because not taking care of items such as storm water ponds could cause flooding and other problems in nearby communities, troubles Levy Court or the state of Delaware then would have to address.
Commissioners in general seemed receptive to the committee's suggestion that Levy Court put its weight behind some sort of government-run fee gathering effort.
"Anything that supports an HOA and it not pitting neighbor against neighbor is great," Commissioner Alan Angel said.
Ideas floated included sending collection letters from the county or putting the fee as a line item on property tax bills. In either case, the funds received then would be disbursed back to the HOA.
The idea is similar to a system used in New Castle County, but legislation from the state General Assembly would be required to enable the county to start collecting the fees. The HARP committee already has set Nov. 12 as a date to sit down with local legislators, to include Sen. Brian Bushweller, (D-Dover) and Rep. Trey Paradee, (D-Dover) to discuss such legislation.
Both men were at the Levy Court session in support of examining the idea.
Commissioner Eric Buckson said afterward he is sympathetic to problems faced by the HOAs, although he normally does not favor increasing government intervention in non-governmental issues.
"I don't think Levy Court wants to be involved, but I think we have to be involved," he said. "As a county, though we don't require HOAs, we enable them and rely on them. If they don't function properly, eventually it will fall back into our laps. That's my greatest fear.
"What we're trying to do is be proactive. I could kick this down the road, but that's not the right thing to do. This is our attempt to try and help."
Buckson agreed with fellow Commissioner Terry Pepper, who worried about "unintended consequences," such as having to increase staffing -- and increasing the county budget -- to deal with the added work.
This and other issues bear close examination before the county moves ahead, Buckson said.
"We are saying the idea has merit, but let's see where it will take us."

SW Wood Bat hurlers show their stuff
The Sweetwater High School varsity baseball team had a 2-0-1 record through Friday at the 2011 Wood Bat Classic tournament held at Newman Park, and pitching was a big reason why. Shown is freshman Kaleb Hoover, who on Thursday threw a five-inning no-hitter in a 7-0 win over Post. The Mustangs also tied Ozona 5-5 on Friday before the game was called due to the tournament time limit. Sweetwater was 6-1-1 going into Saturday's final day of the event when the team was scheduled to play games against Post, Slaton and Clyde. In Friday's other games, Wall beat Clyde 6-0 and also knocked off Slaton 13-1; San Angelo Lake View won 9-3 against Post and shut out Clyde 7-0; and Ozona defeated Slaton 6-3. The Mustangs' 6-1-1 record through Friday's games represents Sweetwater's best start to a high school baseball season in several years.

Hey, Friends! Happy Autumn!
I apologize that it's been a while since I've posted a "Sunday with Sarah" video. I love connecting with you through my weekly video series, but we have been so busy at Bella Luna Toys getting ready for the upcoming holiday season (be on the lookout for the dozens of new natural toys and crafts we will adding for the season!) that it's been a challenge to find time to turn on my video camera each week.
Hoping to be back with you in video land soon!
In the meantime, I get questions by email weekly about Waldorf education, parenting, and toys. I realized that when one person writes, it is usually with a question that many others share.
So rather than replying privately to individuals, I thought it might be helpful to post those questions and answers here, for others to benefit from.
This week's question comes from Nicole, a recent LifeWays grad who recently began teaching Parent/Child classes in Florida.
hello sarah,
This is a great question, Nicole! It is a question on which not all Waldorf teachers agree, and one for which there is no clear answer.
In addition to the idea that stick crayons are important for being able to draw archetypal figures (with which I agree), there has also been a lot of research conducted within the last couple of decades that suggests that the use of stick crayons also helps to develop a child's grip and their pre-writing skills. Developing this "triangular grasp" is also connected with brain development.
On the other hand, block crayons seem to be easier for younger children to hold and they are less likely to break, which is why they were used exclusively in Waldorf early childhood settings for so many years.
From my understanding, block crayons were originally developed for use by Waldorf grade school children over the age of seven to create borders in their main lesson books, as well as wide expanses of color when creating a drawing with sea or sky.
Without a definitive answer, I chose to offer both types of crayons to the children in my kindergarten class, believing that each type of crayon offered benefits and that children would instinctively choose the crayons they needed developmentally.
I found that in most cases children would choose the stick crayons to draw people, animals, trees, and other representational figures. Some of the 5- and 6-year-olds would imitate me as I drew, and use the sides of block crayons to create sea and sky. I found that 3-year-olds tended to gravitate to the block crayons, and you might find that block crayons are more appropriate for the 2- and 3-year-olds in your Parent/Child classes.
Joan Almon, a leading authority on Waldorf early childhood education, wrote the following article which you might find helpful:
Crayons in the Kindergarten: Block or Stick?
Parents and teachers new to Waldorf education often seek "rules" and have the feeling that there is one correct "Waldorf way." As you delve deeper into this work, you will learn that there are many areas of ambiguity and difference of opinion among Waldorf teachers. It is always best to do what makes sense to you and to have a reason for your choice.
Your choices may change along the way as you learn more, and spend more time observing the children, and that's okay! One should never let one's teaching get rigid and bound by "rules." That kind of teaching is not living and breathing.
Hope this helps. Let me know what information you decide to share with your parents!
With warmest wishes,
Have a question on Waldorf education, parenting, or play? Leave it here, and I'll do my best to answer them all in future posts!

Mother-Lode Media
Seventeen-year-old LEXI stands on her front porch, checking her wayfinding gear. She looks up, noting the surveillance cameras at the corner of the house and on the light pole down the street. There is absolutely no one on the street. She scrolls through various screens on her cell phone, showing the nanny-cam views of the interior and exterior of her house. LEXI sees herself in the porch shot. She takes a step casually and disappears from the nanny-cam screen.
(Nodding with satisfaction)
I'm in the zone!
She frowns, scrolling through the screens again.
Where is he?
(grinning from the bush beside the porch)
I'm in the zone, too!
Twelve-year-old TROY is loaded with hiking gear, all ready to go.
You weren't thinking of leaving without me?!
No, just worried about being off the grid too long.
(nodding sympathetically)
Yeah. Dad will go all renegade on us. Do you think we should wait til after the evening sweep?
No, we'll lose the light. We'd better hurry.
They begin to walk away from the house, under a tree that screens them from the cameras. They flip their cell phones to screens that show maps of camera angles along their street, and navigate a course that leaves them out of camera sight. As they walk they converse.
Don't worry. I've been working on a project that will allow us to be gone as long as we want without tipping Dad off.
LEXI thumbs off the camera-plot map on her cell phone to play a nanny-cam recording of herself studying, then one of herself making dinner.
That only works for you!
LEXI snaps down to a recording of TROY playing a video game.
If Dad sees that for hours, I'll still get killed! Maybe we should just file for a hiking permit like everybody else.
Relax! I've got lots more. I just need a few more cuts and I'll be able to patch it into the security cams on a loop I can control from here. Besides, you know we'd never get one without a "responsible adult" on the request.
She taps her cell phone. They have arrived at the end of the street. Pavement is locked off at the entrance to a hiking trailhead. The sibs hesitate, peering into the trees. TROY still has the camera-plot map up. The display shows a solid barrier of camera-coverage lighting up the edge of the forest for as far as the display shows.
Remember when Mom used to bring us here and we thought it was a game walking single file in her footsteps?
(nods, trying to be brave)
I miss Mom....It's like all the air went out with her.
Yeah, the accident changed everything....(she gathers herself) I hope it didn't change the song.
They stand in the last camera-free zone and whistle a 3 or 4 note signal. They look at their cell phone maps. Nothing changes.
Maybe we weren't loud enough to trip the jammer.
They try again. This time the camera coverage blinks off their cell phone maps. They sigh with relief and start running.
A law-enforcement office bristling with computer monitors. It is lit only by the many computer screens. One monitor has a blinking light and and irritating claxton sounds in time to the blink. The officer manning the monitor swings around in her chair to call her supervisor.
Sir! Surveillance perimeter breach: sector 5!
(Leaning in to look at SAM's display, reaches down to adjust the view.)
That's right down the street from my house!
We see the same display the kids were seeing on their cell phones.
Shall I arm the perimeter lasers?
Cut to LEXI and TROY slamming a button on an electrical device in a plastic bucket buried under a fallen log. They collapse in relief.
The blinking light on the police monitor goes off. The display is back to normal. We see the two officers' faces peering at the screen.
Probably just a wildlife bogey. Curfew is in 30 minutes. No lasers. Post Sector 5 sweep officers early, and make sure they go door to door tonight.
TROY and LEXI are circling a huge, live tree, searching for something that isn't there. A dead tree has fallen against the tree, lodging solidly with the upper part of the dead tree resting in the crook of a large branch of the living.
The web entry said it was gone...
Maybe some fool left food inside and a coon got to it.
LEXI leans against the living tree, her shoulder just under an arrow pointing up crudely scratched into the trunk.
(pointing at the arrow)
Things might be looking up!
They look up and see a squirrel's nest just about where the dead tree connects with the living. TROY scrambles up the dead tree, using its branches as ladder-rungs.
Whoa! Amazing!
What! What is it?
A new improved cache - but it isn't our placer.
He lowers an ammo box down by a pulley which has been anchored to the tree in the squirrel's nest.
Hey! This nest is big enough for me! Kinda pointy, though...Waaaiit! This isn't a squirrel's nest. Just looks like it. There's a platform. A man-made platform!
Get back down here! This is weird!
TROY comes to look into the box with LEXI. They start to unload it.
Our old logbook. Two self-charging flashlights. Two MREs. Two space blankets (she pauses significantly) non-reflective.
Are you thinking it?
Resistance...But why here? Our placer coordinates are still out there.
Yeah? Someone reported that cache missing or damaged. Check the logbook.
They open the book to the last page. A string tied to the spine of the book swings free.
Our signature stamp is gone.
(pointing to the last page)
It was here just two weeks ago. Look! And....
It's...Mom's...signature stamp and a rubbing of her forest geo-coin.
Mom!...We saw her...
We see in memory, a small plane taking off. Then close-ups of flames, emergency vehicles, flashing lights. We hear sirens, screams.
Suddenly we realize the sirens are in the present. The sibs are frantically re-packing the ammo box. LEXI tears the last page of the logbook out, stuffing it into her shirt.
Early sweeps!
(climbing the tree)
Hurry! Tie it on! Hurry!
They hoist the box to the squirrel's nest. And race for home.

The Mets will announce a contract extension today for general manager Omar Minaya to run through the 2012 season. His current contract runs through 2009.
After Minaya's deal is announced, the Mets will focus on an extension for manager Jerry Manuel who replaced Willie Randolph, June 17.
Minaya said he took responsibility for the Randolph administration, and although the firing was clumsy, he should receive kudos for making the move when it would have been easy to stay put and hope for the turnaround.
Manuel has the player's endorsement. Said Carlos Beltran: "I believe he should be back. He's a great man and he did everything possible.''

Discrimator values in versioned entities causing problemstalios Oct 1, 2008 8:26 PM
Hey all, Adam,
After realizing that we were still running our system with a slightly pre 1.0 SVN build I decided to update ourselves to 1.0, and also check out the new 1.1 beta release.
However, I seem to have run into a few issues, one which looks to be my setup (need to modify our versions schema for collection versions, or disable that (as I current am)) and one which looks like its an actual bug.
The problem I'm seeing is manifesting itself against an subclassed entity with a secondary table, and a discriminator column.
The error seem is:
02.10.2008 11:35:14.218 *ERROR* [btpool1-105] org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter The column index is out of range: 5, number of columns: 4.
Tracing this down to the SQL generated/used by hibernate I see:
insert into smx3.contact_mech (info_string, contact_mech_type_id, contact_mech_id) values (?, 3001, ?) insert into smx3.postal_address (address1, address2, attn_name, city, country_geo_id, directions, postal_code, postal_code_geo_id, state_province_geo_id, to_name, contact_mech_id) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) insert into smx3.contact_mech_versions (_revision_type, info_string, contact_mech_type_id, contact_mech_id, _revision) values (?, ?, 3001, ?, ?)
Looking at the insert for contact_mech_versions, there's 5 columns, 4 variables, and one fixed value (the discriminator). When trying to trace back what envers was doing, I got confused and lost as the stacktrace I see:
02.10.2008 11:35:14.219 *ERROR* [btpool1-105] org.hibernate.event.def.AbstractFlushingEventListener Could not synchronize database state with session org.hibernate.exception.DataException: could not insert: [smx3.schema3.PostalAddress_versions] at org.hibernate.exception.SQLStateConverter.convert(SQLStateConverter.java:77) at org.hibernate.exception.JDBCExceptionHelper.convert(JDBCExceptionHelper.java:43) at org.hibernate.persister.entity.AbstractEntityPersister.insert(AbstractEntityPersister.java:2272) at org.hibernate.persister.entity.AbstractEntityPersister.insert(AbstractEntityPersister.java:2665) at org.hibernate.action.EntityInsertAction.execute(EntityInsertAction.java:60) at org.hibernate.engine.ActionQueue.execute(ActionQueue.java:279) at org.hibernate.engine.ActionQueue.executeActions(ActionQueue.java:263) at org.hibernate.engine.ActionQueue.executeActions(ActionQueue.java:167) at org.hibernate.event.def.AbstractFlushingEventListener.performExecutions(AbstractFlushingEventListener.java:298) at org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultFlushEventListener.onFlush(DefaultFlushEventListener.java:27) at org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.flush(SessionImpl.java:1000) at org.jboss.envers.synchronization.VersionsSync.beforeCompletion(VersionsSync.java:147) at com.atomikos.icatch.jta.Sync2Sync.beforeCompletion(Sync2Sync.java:58) at com.atomikos.icatch.imp.TransactionStateHandler.commit(TransactionStateHandler.java:279) at com.atomikos.icatch.imp.CompositeTransactionImp.doCommit(CompositeTransactionImp.java:320)
points to VersionsSync.beforeCompletion, line 147, but according to envers-1.0.0.ga's src file, VersionsSync is only 145 lines long (the version in trunk however matches up with the stacktrace).
The parent class is defined as:
@Entity @Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE) @DiscriminatorColumn(name = "contact_mech_type_id", discriminatorType = DiscriminatorType.INTEGER) @Table(schema = "smx3", name = "contact_mech") @Versioned @Cache(usage = CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE) public abstract class ContactMech implements Identity<Integer> {
with the child class:
@Entity @DiscriminatorValue("3001") @SecondaryTable(schema = "smx3", name = "postal_address", pkJoinColumns = @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name = "contact_mech_id")) @Versioned @Cache(usage = CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE) public class PostalAddress extends ContactMech {
Is envers properly attaching the @DiscriminatorColumn definition to its generated version entity? Does anyone have any pointers as to where/why/how/what could be causing this, or how I should go about further diagnosing it?

Funeral Friday: Eulogy for my mother Penny Brown Geiszler
My mother passed away on 10 Dec of this year. Since I created a family history scrapbook about her life (or 'wrote the book on her' so to speak), I delivered the eulogy at her memorial service. Many friends and family were unable to attend the wonderful celebration of her life. I share this eulogy, modified slightly to protect the living, so all many celebrate the life of my sweet momma.
"My mom was loved by many people near and far. She also never did things the easy way. Passing away during the busiest time of the year, strains the schedules of many. Good news though, she got her Christmas cards out!
|Penny Brown, 6 months old
My mother was born after my Grandpa Lew returned home from serving as a mechanic during World War II in India. She was welcomed into the home by an older sister and her mother Louise Long. Penny had an average American upbringing in an average American town. Lew was a Bowling Lanes manager and later became a home delivery milkman in Ohio. For the most part, Louise was a stay at home mom. Lew and Louise raised their daughters near German Village in Columbus Ohio. And they enjoyed Ohio State University football, where Lew often worked as an usher.
|Penny as Baton Twirler for the
Columbus Hurricanes Drum & Bugle Corp
When Penny entered her teenage years, she was boy crazy and loved being a part of the Columbus Hurricane Drum and Bugle corps as a baton twirler. She was looking forward to graduating in 06-66. At the age of 12, her baby sister was born. Penny won a bet with her daddy to name her sister. Thankfully she didn't pick a strange name, though she's been known to think of a few weird ones. (For instance, I could have been named Cynnamyn Rayn... all those y's).
|Penny and her sisters in the late 70s
In December of 1966, mom met my dad. Mom loved telling the story about how she was dating a guy named "Moose". They went to a dance at a roller skating rink. Moose told my dad, a roadie for a rock band, to hold my mother for a minute. I guess Daddy didn't hear the 'minute' part. Penny forgot about Moose and was married to Robert Geiszler the following September.
|Penny Brown and Robert Geiszler
Formal dance in 1967
My father held a number of jobs through their early married years. He was a loading dock worker for Borden's, the same company Grandapa Lew worked for. In the early 70s, Daddy knew that he needed to improve his education so he attended Franklin University. He worked all night and attended classes by day. In the meantime, Penny welcomed her son into the world. When he was 2, he attended daddy's graduation. Penny and Bob couldn't have been happier. However, the early 70s was not a great time for accountants.
So Bob became a gas station owner. Penny worried constantly about him during this time period. Penny doesn't like guns, but my father grew up with a Hunting Club member for a father. He knew how to use a gun and wasn't afraid to pack heat. Since this was the Carter administration and times were tough with a capital T, Daddy looked for new job opportunities and Penny began working for Ohio Statue University Medical Center as a medical secretary.
When I joined the family, my mother continued to work for the OSU hospital and my father took a civil service examination. He proved himself to be a good accountant and was given several job offers. Penny and Bob chose the job in Houston. In 1978, the family left Ohio and came to the southwest side of town.
Now, I need to back track just a bit because I haven't shared another big change in the Geiszler home. In 1975, my parents were introduced to missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints by some friends. My father challenged the female missionaries relentlessly during their first meeting. My mom, really didn't want a part of it. My father was impressed by the missionaries ability to defend their faith without becoming defensive. He wanted to learn more.
My mother said daddy could visit with missionaries as long as they met on the back porch. Slowly, my father got the missionaries into their home to teach the gospel and my mother desired to learn more. Soon mom and dad were baptized and active in their congregation in the Bexley area of Ohio. In joining this church, her fire for family history was ignited. She passed that love for genealogy on to me.
When the family moved to Texas with two young children and a dog, Dad worked for the IRS and Mom went to work for various companies. She was a valued secretary at Gulf Oil until the oil boom went bust in the 80s. Later she worked for St. Luke's Hospital.
|Robert and Penny Geiszler family
When not at work, momma carted her kids to drum lessons, gymnastics, cub scouts, and girl scouts. She was our number one fan. When my brother entered high school, Mom was at every football game to watch the band. She often said the football game was there to entertain folks until the band came on. Mom was not only her son's number one fan, but she was beloved by numerous other band members who also called her 'mom'.
Somewhere during this time, mom developed adult onset diabetes and back problems. In the early 90s, my mother fell at work and had enough damage to her back that she never worked again. She was excited for the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom. Now, instead of just attending football games to watch me twirl flags and be band mom to many, she could also volunteer at my school when she felt well. She loved this new path so much. I often say she was more popular at my high school than I was! (And at the time, I hated it).
While I was in high school, I entered my first beauty pageant. My mom was a full supporter, though I was completely clueless in the ways of femininity having been a tomboy all my life. Mom saw pageants as an opportunity to change me into a girly girl. After someone made a rude comment to dad when my first pageant was over, he became my biggest supporter to prove that person wrong. So Penny and Bob's involvement in pageantry began.
When I left for college, my mother felt the rug pulled out from under her. She didn't have band or volunteering work as her nest was empty. She felt she could only cheer for me when I competed. What to do?
|Penny and Bob Geiszler with me
after winning my first beauty pageant.
|Mom's Pageant Hobby
Start Turn For The Judges pageant news service of course! My mom wanted to shine the light on teenagers and adult women who competed in pageants. She felt the little girls got all the coverage in pageant magazines; but the spotlight should be on the older girls. It was a belief she held firmly to for the rest of her life. Through her pageant news efforts, she began attending more and more pageants
As she did so, Mom started seeing other girls who she adored and became their biggest fan. The first of which is my sweet friend Amanda Perry. If Mom and Dad hadn't introduced me to my 'new sister' at a pageant I attended, rather than competed in, I wouldn't know this special lady. After twenty years in pageantry, the number of 'daughters' they adopted in the pageant world is large. Basically, my brother and I have more sisters than we can even count. As evident by the postings on mom's Facebook page, Mom touched the lives of many.
|Robert and Penny Geiszler
together again.
In efforts to keep this brief, I'm sure I missed a lot of things. However, to know Penny Brown Geiszler is to know she LOVED her family though she wasn't always the best at showing it. (Between us, she really loves her grandkids the best!) She loved Ohio State, but finally learned to cheer for Texas A&M (where I attended). Unless of course it's a OSU/Aggie match up, she had no division of loyalty. It was Buckeyes all the way. Mom believed in the word of God as taught in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. And she fought various illnesses throughout her adult life.
As she's laid to rest, I pray all of our hearts will be comforted knowing, she's not that far away. She's left this life for one without the health problems. Without those things slowing her down, she'll be joining my father and her parents. I'm sure they are introducing her to all the relatives she researched through her family history efforts. She'll also meet the mystery persons that plague me in my own research. (Yes, I'm secretly jealous). But she won't be too far from watching over her family and friends. And if God allows, she'll check in on the Buckeyes, and maybe the Aggies on occasion
Be at peace momma. Say hi to daddy. We'll miss you and all your quirks."

Two years into his job as California's agriculture secretary, A.G. Kawamura continues to sound the alarm of vulnerability for California and U.S. agriculture.
Kawamura, an Orange County, Calif., strawberry grower before accepting a position in Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's cabinet as head of California's Department of Food and Agriculture, says California's $32 billion agricultural industry has never been more vulnerable to intentional or unintentional threats of disease and pest and he has bolstered CDFA to stave off those threats.
The former head of Western Growers told more than 1,000 at the annual conference of the California Association Pest Control Advisers in Reno, Nev., he has put back into focus the primary role of his department to protect the plants and animals in his state.
He calls it protecting "life systems," and he grows frustrated when he runs into what he calls the "hypocrisy" of citizens who want abundant food and fiber and lush landscape, but do not understand what it takes to achieve that.
He cited specifically the Davis, Calif., city council that opposes aerial pesticide spraying to control mosquitoes to prevent the spread of West Nile Virus. He called Davis, home to the University of California, Davis, one of the "most highly educated" scientific communities in the world yet it is a community that continues to fear pesticides.
"It is alarming and difficult to understand," he said and yet those same people who oppose spraying for mosquito control enjoy endless, lush soccer fields and parks made beautiful with chemicals. "It is amazing how people do not understand the threats to the life systems of our state."
Fend off threats
Nevertheless, Kawamura pledges his department's continued efforts to fend off threats from pests and diseases only heightened by globalization. The unfolding avian flu world health crisis is an example of nations not dealing with plant and animal issues aggressively as they are in California. Now the U.S. and California must face the threat.
He praised California's pest control advisers for being in the forefront of preventing diseases and pests from damaging the state's crops.
Kawamura said 97 percent of health care dollars are spent treating illnesses and only 3 percent is spent on preventative health care.
"In agriculture, you cannot have 97 percent of your crops sick," he said. He praised PCAs for nurturing crops to prevent problems much like a teacher nurtures students to grow and learn.
Not only is the food supply in California threatened by pests, the nation's food supply is at risk politically as Congress begins work on the new 2007 farm bill.
He called the federal farm bill an investment the nation must make in the security of America's food supply, yet politically, it has never been more vulnerable.
While the challenges have never been greater in agriculture, Kawamura is optimistic that California's $32 billion agriculture industry will continue to grow.
He cited two areas where he believes that growth will come. One is the increasing emphasis on improving human health and the concern with obesity in America. Eating more fruits and vegetables is a key to solving those problems and specialty crops are the backbone of California farming.
Pacific Legal
Increasing energy costs is another opportunity for agricultural growth. "I am excited about how the emphasis on renewable fuels can impact California agriculture. Turning waste into energy can create a lot of new businesses in California agriculture," he said.
One of the biggest nemeses in farming and ranching has been the federal endangered species act, which the Sacramento-based Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) constantly battles in court to protect citizens' property rights.
Russ Brooks, head of PLF's Seattle office, told CAPCA members the privately funded foundation loses more cases than it wins. However, it is not deterred from its goal of protecting private property rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution from being stripped away unfairly under the guise of protecting endangered species.
There have been successful challenges in recent years, specifically in questioning how the fish and wildlife agencies administer the ESA.
For example, the government declared all streams in the West critical salmon habitat. This was challenged by PLF, and 80 percent of those original critical habitat streams were de-listed.
The foundation also pointed out the hypocrisy of salmon being declared endangered while at the same time federal agencies were clubbing to death hatchery-raised salmon that would otherwise be released into streams.
PLF also has successfully forced the federal government to review every five years the more than 200 species classified as endangered in California because review is part of the endangered species act.
Although many would like ESA repealed, Brooks said that is not likely. However, the House has passed an ESA reform bill authored by California Congressman Richard Pombo. Brooks said the reform act, which will likely come before the Senate for a vote next year, brings "more balance" to ESA.

Judge Says DHS Can't Hang Onto Travelers Laptops To Search Much Later Without A Warrant
from the a-bit-of-good-news dept
However, there may be some limits. Another recent court ruling has told Homeland Security that it cannot seize a laptop, hang onto it indefinitely and do searches on it many months later without a warrant. It's not entirely clear where the line lies here. The court basically says that earlier searches of the same laptop were fine, but there was no reason to hold onto it for so many months and then do another search.

It's that time of year again! Now that the holidays are (kind of) behind us, and 2012 is almost here, it's time to set your focus in the New Year. More than just heading back to work, it also means you should probably start thinking about setting those dreaded New Year's Resolutions.
But don't despair! In fact, don't even think about them as New Year's Resolutions. Rather, focus on setting goals based on what you want to accomplish, rather than picking an arbitrary date like January 1st to make a resolution. And since there's no time like the present, set those goals today and start working towards them now!
Goal setting does not have to be like pulling teeth. In fact, when you do it right, it's pretty fun and easy. A major misconception about goal setting is that it's hard work; that doesn't have to be true. In fact, while you should be working towards goals, it should also be a fun and enjoyable process.
Figuring out a plan to get what you want should create enthusiasm and energy, not resistance and negativity. If you find yourself responding negatively to a goal you've set, be honest with yourself - maybe that's not something you really want; look carefully to make sure that you really want the goal.
Assuming you do, there are a few important ways to begin a good, realistic goal setting process.
First, write it down. A goal in your head doesn't hold as much power as a tangible goal on a piece of paper. If it helps, when you write it down, post it somewhere that will remind you every day what you want, and how to go about it - your refrigerator and bathroom mirror are great places to post a goal as a daily reminder.
Next, quantify it. It's not enough to have the goal of "I want to lose weight." That's great, but how much? How quickly? What will you do to make sure you lose weight - exercise more? Eat better food? Eat less food? When you create a goal, create a plan of attack too, and write down how you intend to go about achieving that goal.
Third, be realistic. Using the weight loss example, it's probably not realistic to lose 60 pounds in a month, considering the most you can lose in a healthy, sustainable way is about 2 pounds per week. Knowing that, when you quantify a goal, be realistic about it - this will help you stick to your goal and stay true to yourself when the work gets tougher.
Fourth, be flexible. While you may not reach every aspect of your goal, it's equally important not to get down on yourself. Going back to the weight loss example, if your goal is to lose 60 pounds in 6 months, and you lose 45 pounds, don't lose sight of your achievement by being disappointed with the result. While you didn't achieve the goal, you did achieve quite a bit; take pleasure in the victory!
Fifth, involve your friends and family. A goal can be accomplished alone, but it's often easier and more achievable when you involve loved ones. Not only do they hold you accountable, family can also provide much-needed support on days that those goals feel tougher than normal.
Setting a goal provides both long-term vision and short-term motivation. Not only does it help organize your time and resources so that you can make the most of your life, it also provides for a benchmark on which to measure yourself.
Set sharp, realistic goals this winter, and by the summer, you'll be taking pride in the achievement of those goals and your forward progress. The New Year provides a great time to focus on goals, but remember that today is always the best day to set a goal; start now. Good luck!

All News Releases By Date
EPA Determines that all Areas of U.S. Virgin Islands Meet New Fine Particle Air Pollution Standard
Release Date: 12/17/2004
Contact Information:
(#04189) NEW YORK - In a letter to the Governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today agreed with the Territory's assessment that all areas of the U.S. Virgin Islands meet EPA's new, more stringent health-based fine particle standard. Fine particles, or PM 2.5, are 1/30th the size of a human hair and can lodge deeply in the lungs. They have been shown to cause an estimated 12,000 to 15,000 premature deaths, aggravate asthma and other respiratory conditions, and contribute to cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks and arrhythmias.
"This is truly good news for the people of the U.S. Virgin Islands," said Acting EPA Regional Administrator, Kathleen C. Callahan. "We have made progress making the air cleaner in the Virgin Islands and it is important that we continue that progress. EPA is providing critical national tools to continue the course toward clean air."
EPA has decided to designate the entire U.S. Virgin Islands as attaining the fine particle standard after considering comments from the Territory and the public. The Agency will work closely with the Virgin Islands to ensure that the standard continues to be met and that progress will be made in even further reducing fine particle levels.
EPA has a comprehensive air pollution control strategy that will reduce PM 2.5 pollution throughout the entire country. The Agency has already put regulations into effect that are making gasoline-powered vehicles, diesel trucks and buses dramatically cleaner. Earlier this year, the Agency finalized regulations to clean up tailpipe emissions from nonroad diesels, such as construction and farm equipment.
EPA first adopted new standards to regulate PM 2.5 in 1997, and continued to regulate particles measuring 10 microns in diameter. The Agency also established a new, more protective standard for ground level ozone or smog. The progress in implementing these standards was hindered by litigation that was resolved when the Supreme Court upheld the standards. In 2002, all legal challenges were addressed, allowing EPA to move forward with putting the standards into action.

Wildfire78 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi I have a couple of questions.... Just bought a Mk1 1.8 Ghia saloon and am on the look out for second hand aftermarket parts, my questions are..... - What other brand/models wheels fit the Mk1 focus - Does the focus share shocks and springs with any other model - I assume it has a different exhaust to the normal focus with it having a boot....am I right in thinking this ? - How easy is it to change all the internal bulbs (in the instruments and switches) -what are the max size wheels without any fettling that fit the Mk1, and how much can it be dropped by but keeping it sensible and usable.

Dmb Gel Overlays
Wildfire78 posted a topic in General Ford Related DiscussionsThe review i left :/ Bought a set of these, not really happy....the back one was way to small, the front one was a little to big (overlays were the same size) and all the curves on the writting are very pixilated its almost as if the production process is unable to make/print a curve. Very disappointed, didn't bother to contact DMB as i have bodged them because you cannot return if you have removed from backing which i did. Just thought i would let you guys know as i am really disappointed and don't want anyone else to get "scammed" like i did :(
Yea i know but its far to small there is probably a 5mm gap round the edge
Hummmm maybe i was a bit hasty to complain but it never crossed my mind that they wouldn't fit and also was a little awkward to see if they are a good fit as they are just on one big backing sheet
