Coast-To-Coast AM parapsychology vs Bible witchcraft prohibitions
Coast to Coast AM, with host, Goerge Noory, was kind enough to take my call on their '5-25-2011' program (actually aired in the early AM hours of Thr 26 May 2011 in Eastern Standard Time). - Anyhow, they had a Parapsychology segment, and they advodated contacting the dead. With no disrespect meant, the Bible said they were wrong, and they were kind enough to take my 'dissenting' phone call. -- Scriptures in question include Deuteronomy 18:10-12 and Hebrews 9:27 -- See video for embedded comments as the call proceeds. For matters of reincarnation & proof of the Bible's accuracy, see http://GordonWatts.com/theology/reincarnation.html or http://GordonWayneWatts.com/theology/reincarnation.html -- for ways to 'test the spirits' (should YOU be visited by a ghost or a holy angel of God), see e.g., http://GordonWatts.com/theology/TestForProphetsAndSpirits.html or http://GordonWayneWatts.com/theology/TestForProphetsAndSpirits.html
For other theology issues, see http://GordonWatts.com/#theology or http://GordonWayneWatts/#theology
PS: I didn't mean to misspell his name in the video comments: It's George Noory, not Noorey.
Again, I do not mean to insult or disrespect Coast-to-Coast AM -- I'm glad & grateful they took my call. I'm 'Gordon from Lakeland, Florida' in case you're wondering.
Oh, 1 more thing: The other cites include these:
Yes -- IT IS POSSIBLE in the Bible FOR THE DEAD TO CONTACT US:
First off: the dead Moses & Elijhah DID appear to Peter, James, & John at the transfiguation: ""And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him."" --MATTHEW 17:3, see also: MARK 9:4 and LUKE 9:30.
Secondly: Samuel the prophet, who was dead, appeared to the witch at Endor and to King Saul:
"11Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
1st Samuel 28:11-12)

320 lb deadlift + 585 lb rack pull @ 120-lb bodyweight (DeadliftDay.wmv)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oseUEhVPSKE&feature=related
(Deadlift Day - actually 2 different days) Click 'Show More' for details... After an approximately 25-year layoff, I started back lifting weights on Sat. 25 Sept. 2011. That was not quite 6½ months ago. (Today is Thr. 07 April 2011.)
I couldn't lift more than 205 or maybe 225 -whether from the ground or the 'height correction' blocks.
Here, I finally worked up to 315 lbs x 2 reps & then 320x1 -albeit from the 4" blocks, a PR (personal record) 1RM (1-rep max).
I know this is not a 'legal competition' deadlift, but most people in my weight class (120-lb) are at least 4" shorter than me (I'm about 5'10"), and some are even shorter. (In all fairness, some of the very short people don't quite have as long a reach as me, which takes away from their 'close to the floor' pulling advantage: My reach is about 68 or 68½ inches -maybe a little more if I 'really stretch.')
Yes, I'm quite skinny, but it appears I'm in good health, and my 'crazy vegetarian' diet (actually very strict vegan) must not be so bad after all -it worked for me!
I do eat, sleep, and exercise as much as I can -and try to give my body sufficient 'recovery time' --as well as trying to 'manage stress,' so my "being skinny" is not because of either health problems or "anorexic" starvation eating disorders: I'm just rather skinny.
Perhaps, I will get more organised and post other lifting footage -since, after all, video-taping your lifting helps you get good form.
PS: I used no lifting belt, no "hand straps," and no lifting shoes for my lifts here (except shoes for the rack pulls) --and I incurred no injury, which means that if you keep your lower back straight, you will probably not injure yourself --probably your muscles will give out (for strength) before your back gives out (due to injury).
CAVEAT: I'm not a doctor, and I don't play one on T.V. (or my website), ... but I did stay in a holiday Inn once!
(-://
Proper credits are in *order* for some of those who have helped me get back in shape --CHRONOLOGICAL *order*, that is (time-wise).
* Nia Shanks, a world-record holder in my weight class http://NiaShanks.com is not only an inspiration (how could a girl that thin & light lift so much?!), but she is also very smart -and a friendly neighbour who wishes to help others in her Internet community.
* Bret Contreras http://BretContreras.com gives Nia very strong competition as far as his willingness to share his knowledge & help others. (He is also very smart.) - *Here*, he answers my question in 'ABC':
http://BretContreras.com/2011/01/abc-ask-bret-contreras
* Eric Cressey http://EricCressey.com can not only deadlift over 600lbs & bench press over 400 lbs, he is "expert" smart -and his contributions also were key in helping me make successful and safe gains in my exercise regimen.
I purchased the http://FatLossDetour.com plan from Nia (since she proved her expertise by lifting heavy pounds), and the http://ShowAndGoTraining.com plan from Eric. -- In Eric's case, he took FOURTEEN (14) months to get from 225 to 230 in the bench -apparently using the ;wrong' plan of attack! (and this was when he was 21-22 years old and about 165, I infer, so his problems were not due to youth), but now, he's gotten up to 400 (using his Show & Go plan), so I said to myself: If it worked for Eric, it works for me.
Lastly, I'd like to thank my peeps, buds, and hommies at Deb's Gym in Lakeland, Fla:
http://www.DebsGym.com
http://DebsGym1.com
http://www.Facebook.com/profile.php?id=1666203667
(Lakeland is about half-way between Tampa & Orlando, Fla.) -- This is the gym where world record holder April Mathis and (very) "StrongMan" & powerlifter Scott Weech workout. (They and their friends are also smart -and not just strong.) Brian Hopper and Rich (one of April's workout partners) were also quite helpful -as well as former Pittsburgh Pirates pro-baseball player, Keith Maxwell -and also Ernest & Nate (don't got your last names, but you also deserve a shout-out & proper credit for your help).
Oh, yeah.. and a motivational exercise video was no small motivation:

Limbaugh / Hannity Parent Company Admits Hiring Actors to Call Radio Shows
Sean Hannity program busted using 'fake' callers
OpEdNews did a report on this here and had over 44,000 views by just 1 day's time. On page 2, here, the author cites to Register Editor, Gordon Watts' report in par. 2 where he makes reference to "how Hannity's screeners practice bias and intimidation."
Mr. Watts' report is posted here and here -and got a lot of page views because of the reference by OpEdNews, which in turn, got a lot of hits due to being mentioned by ReddIt.com in this report.
