Re: Classical Music

Ian, thanks for that wonderful translation (posted quite some time ago.. indeed.. and I missed it). I'd like to dig up the (also wonderful) translation, which I am more partial to, accompanying the performance I mentioned earlier in this thread. I started a new topic but then saw the post might bett...

Re: OCMCO

Tia got to attend a Tabernacle performance of this (one ticket came up). She said it was wonderful. I'll be eager to hear any recording or future performances.

Re: Hedonism

I ain't got much to say besides BEST SUBJECT HEADER EVER! I am reminded of the time in Elder's Quorum when an Elder, at a loss to comprehend how anyone lives without God, or the meaning that religion offers, asked just what people of such persuasions have to live for. My reply was, in two words: &qu...

Classical Music

[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 agree - th...

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 says: (Thi...

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 at the...

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 ...

Classical Music

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 Orchestra!). No...

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...

Do you believe in Santa?

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 Santa...

Do you believe in Santa?

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? Wit...
