[coming back to this after so long ignoring a reply notification] Added (both recommended performances). To my notepad. (Of so much music to peruse). In the recording by the Tabernacle Choir I think the mentioned section is sublime (as I trust it is in these other mentioned recordings). I...

That is an awesome picture. Ian - I could be talking about Sauron, or anyone who transmits a "dark and wasted spirit". Sauron could be at MySpace. I was thinking about the, uh, MySpace pages I've accidentally visited. Even if you have no MySpace account, every page you arrive at sa...

It is true that a dark and wasted spirit communicated through any form of information harms.

Myspace.com is the most trafficked U.S. Web site..


Willikers.

It's probably a fair argument that is a sad waste.

I respectfully illustrate where Ian responds to arguments I do not make. .. however, that scripture [about not being commanded in all things] does not draw a distinction between big and little things. it just says “all things.” alex talks about hacking at the root of evil rather than trimming ...

I think it is very much within the bounds of a Stake President to warn his fold against this kind of thing he feels so inspired, if only because I've talked with him about it. But that's an individual matter to each president, so in some stakes I'm sure it must not be so. In a college stake though ...

Ooh.. mayhap I have missed a very rich thread here. I may be spending time considering these lists and suggestions :) If it hasn't been said (and even if it has), BEETHOVEN'S NINTH SYMPHONY. This performance in particular (it's sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir with the Philidelpha Orchestr...

MySpace is dangerous insofar as it has no criteria for establishing real personhood - it is easily questionable that any person thar is who they really say they are (a fact which creepos exploit to advance on their prey). I wouldn't surf MySpace at random - I've run into serious garbage there. But...

I was addressing exactly the things you say we shouldn't do, Edward, when I was summarizing yours and others Thou Shalt Nots. Santa said the situations in which commandments apply can change. He wasn't talking about changing commandments. That's silly. And what do you mean by saying goodbye to...

All year I'm hearing Thou Shalt Not Spend Too Much Money on Thyself and Thy Family, Thou Shalt Never Watch an R-Rated Movie, Thou Shalt Not Allow Children to Believe That Father Christmas is Real, and now I'm hearing Thou Shalt Not Preach? Has that last been practiced much by those preaching it? W...

I LOVE the title. That's ALL CAPS, bolded , underlined , italicized . It runs a chill and thrill through me. Why? Because I think it could be a clue to beautiful, beautiful things. Two other meanings of hallow are "sacred" and "consecrations". Hallows also...

The words of that Robert Stoddard song are very nice.

I thought you were talking to Father Christmas, John? Was that him?

Well, what can I say? We selected that star design for our wedding quilt, and wedding quilts do have properties of mystical good fortune.. And Angela, that you said to Edward "..you're a funny guy!" makes me feel a serendipitous affinity with Edward, as I am famous in my family for say...

If parents tell their children that Catholicism is true, they'll believe it. Are parents just pretending in these examples? Then how is this any different than telling your children that Santa Claus brought them the presents they received this past Christmas? I would actually venture to say that ...

Yes, Edward. And he taught you that it WAS make-believe. Because, naturally, to tell a child that any make believe is not make believe is a harmful deception and grievous sin. Otherwise, they might grow up and answer some college exam with the question "Lady Elaine Fairchild". Which w...
