So, Im struggling with how to count this. The whole talk is about Joseph Smith. Does that only count once? Or once per paragraph?

Re: Saturday Morning NOMference Thread!!!!
Some 50 years ago, I participated in ....um....maybe the dedication of the land for the Provo Temple? And then when the Nauvoo temple was dedicated and was broadcast to stake centers and we had to have a temple recommend to get in, both times I remember this Hosana shout as a temple only ceremony, much too sacred to let just anyone participate. So, now they are going to broadcast what is a temple type ceremony over television?
And, I am sort of puking at the Joseph worship already and we are just getting started.

It's definitely difficult to feel anything for the romanticized history of my youth/early adulthood, when you know the real history. I find myself just being dismissive of what Ballard's saying.
"And I don't need you...or, your homespun philosophies."
"And when you try to break my spirit, it won't work, because there's nothing left to break."

The word cloud for this session is going to be easy.

Ballard is a direct descendant of Hyrum. This is a huge part of his sense of self-worth.Mormorrisey wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2020 9:37 am It's definitely difficult to feel anything for the romanticized history of my youth/early adulthood, when you know the real history.

Sounds about right.

The Hosanna Shout is weird enough if you stepped outside to participate in Anywhere, UT. You’re really gonna weird the neighbors out anywhere outside the Jello Belt.
Re: Saturday Morning NOMference Thread!!!!
I wonder what percentage of GAs are descendants of Hyrum?

Obvious question: Is this new Rasband guy a relation of apostle Ronald Rasband?
