Sunday Afternoon NOMference!!!

[MoPag]

It's almost over. This horribly historical clusterf**k is almost over!!!!

[Mormorrisey]

I'd love to ask how you do it, MoPag, but unfortunately I've had to watch every one too. Just. So. Uninteresting. What's worse, it's not even so horrible that it makes for compelling viewing. Just boring.

why wouldn't we sing praise to Joseph Smith, the last two days have been all about him too.

[græy]

+10 mentions for JS before the first speaker for the opening "hymn".

Hark when the night is falling
Hear! Hear the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling
Down thro' the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits
Of the old Highland men.

Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards
Gloriously wave!
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.

High in the misty Highlands,
Out by the purple islands,
Brave are the hearts that beat
Beneath Scottish skies.
Wild are the winds to meet you,
Staunch are the friends that greet you,
Kind as the love that shines
From fair maidens' eyes.

Far off in sunlit places,
Sad are the Scottish faces,
Yearning to feel the kiss
Of sweet Scottish rain.
Where tropic skies are beaming,
Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
Longing and dreaming
For the homeland again.

We have to listen to Oaks again!!! What the hell?

Wow! we culturally appropriated a Scottish song.

I don't remember references to Palm Sunday before. In the midst of the JS-fest, are they trying to move the church closer to traditional Christianity?

The viewing/listening is made easier when you get to read these Nomference threads while the BS is being spewed forth. Thanks to all for participating and sharing!

They've been making that move for the last few years in an exponential way

Not just mainstream Christianity but the Evangelicals. They've been trying to get a seat at that particular table in the middle school cafeteria for years. Too bad the evangelicals HATE us and always will.

There where the hills are.....

Yep. I thought it was Celtic of some sort when I heard it played on bagpipes one time.

LDS.com has forever ruined this beautiful piece of music for me.

[moksha]

Wow! we culturally appropriated a Scottish song.

A number of hymns have been borrowed from other melodies.

A band rich town of the County Down - Hie to Kolob.
