What's the Joseph/Jesus count up to now?
So, Im struggling with how to count this. The whole talk is about Joseph Smith. Does that only count once? Or once per paragraph?

Get your white hankies out! We are doing a hosanna shout after this session.
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.

How many points do you give a 20-minute nonstop Joseph monologue?

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.

Lets say a solid talk on one of the them gets 20 points.

Ballard is a direct descendant of Hyrum. This is a huge part of his sense of self-worth.

Makes sense.

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.

I wonder what percentage of GAs are descendants of Hyrum?

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