Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
We see that there are some questions in the Doctrine Message Center!

Mimi, she be sayin’
Coolest tool around…
And closing out our ‘wazzzup’ segment, Denise notes:
Waiting for? You’re right! It’s all about the present – today… I think.
Just kidding! It is about this day, the one I’m walking around in. Can be a challenge for a clark to maintain residency in it at times so to quote Ms. M, it most certainly is “the coolest tool around.”
ty, yo (and yoette)
But, you know, god invented RePrint posts for a reason. (no, literacy rates on par with the percentage of blue-eyed penguins in Antartica at the time of the first edition…hey! there’s a tune… was not the reason. It was more along the lines of Genesis 1:28 (after naming all the animals and fowls). Be fruitful and multiply!!! As in, ‘Until they invent computers and such’
Hey, sorry about the Biblical side trip, but trying to get into character for the next Whitechapel Six…
So to get into character:
Brother Abbott: We’re reminded, in Psalm 84:10 that the spirit is the key,
“I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.”
Brother Anselm: “Some say, the home is where the heart is, so, yeah that makes a certain sense.”
Reverend Mother: “Are you two still here? There is a scullery to be attended to… Anselm, you’re young so I can understand. Brother Abbott?” (Silence spoke persuasively)
ok. thanks for indulging us.
on with the RePrint
FAQs + WD + wtf = Enlightenment and Self-Improvement Wakefield Doctrine-style
August 2, 2011a) the Wakefield Doctrine, of course
b) yes, glad to have you here too!As the Readership of this blog grows, we are beginning to see questions forming in the minds of our Readers about this here Doctrine here. Signs of uncertainty are as immediate as the interview with DownSpring Joanne ( Episode Eeeleven of Video Friday), and as inferred as the Comment written in response to yesterdays Post.
We all know that it is a time-honored technique, when in the middle of the Summer’Re-run’ season to write a Q & A Post (or as our clarklike Readers might prefer it, Q & I(nference) & (modified)Q & A(interrupted). This saves the really good, original material for the Fall, when everyone is back from vacation and/or holiday and are ready to read online blogs. In addition, the use of a Q & A Post helps Readers who may have a passing interest in the Wakefield Doctrine, by allowing them to see that other people have the same questions*, which makes them? (all together now, rogers!!). Our scottian Readers have no more need for a Q & A than say a polar bear who happens upon an ice floe where 3 seal pups have been abandoned by their mother.
So lets get on with the Qs and the Answers!Q: Alright, are you guys for real, or what? Sometimes I read things that make sense in a serious and thoughtful way and the next thing I read is something about a girl in an imaginary High School. Whats the deal with you people?
A:Yes, we are for real. At least, as real as can be assumed about anything that you find on the internet. The Wakefield Doctrine really is the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers and there really are people who think in terms of all personality types being clarks or scotts or rogers.Q: Sometimes I am (a scott) then other times I must be (a clark). Whats up with that?
A: You’re a clarkQ: Hey, wait! You can’t be that sure, on the basis of only one questions!
A: Yes I can. ( I’m a clark) The question you should be asking is, ‘why does it seems that sometimes we are one form, other times others’? The answer is, of course, that we retain the capacity to experience the world as the three types, but have one (of the three) as a dominant view. i.e. clark, scott or roger.A: I heard that you have been doing this for more than 2 years, what have you learned about the Wakefield Doctrine that you did not know when you started?
Q: How much fun and how satisfying it would be…this is the clarklike answer. There may (or may not) be an answer to this question from the others in the Comment Section of this Post. But I would say, to amplify my answer, I am amazed on a daily basis how damn correct and ‘accurate’ the Wakefield Doctrine actually is! As a tool for self-development it is remarkable, as witness the progression of stunts and Posts, hats (for your damn heads) and trips across the country and latest of all, the Video Friday Interviews. I defy any clark reading this to say that the videos alone are documented proof of the efficacy of the Wakefield Doctrine as a personal development system.So, there you have it. Questions and Answers and even a damn, borrowed music video. Is dis a system, or what?If this is not proof enough for ya, go ask Alice or you know she was a dancer or even, if you are in the mood for the mild side….go ask roger. Better yet, come over to ‘the Facebook’ where we have a Group just for the Videosof the Wakefield Doctrine.
* I have been asked to not use my favorite joke about questions, so I won’t**
** …unless you really want to hear it!***
*** in which case you have to go ask DS#1 or Ms. AKH if it is alright
Yes, I have seen three gigantic rogers before…but no, not this gigantic lol

The old wakefielddoctrine.wordpress.com report 👍🏼

Roger hasn’t checked in since his last post in 2020.
The Facebook link is broken.
I paid courtesy calls to the hosts and now its time for me to leave. :)
We have two facebook accounts clark scottroger and the Wakefield Doctrine… the first I use to post Doctrine posts to
The deal is simple, don’t take yourself too seriously.
Very true (but sometimes… as much as I try, I get all but…but!!)
