[ZION] LOTR Two Towers

2002-12-13 Thread Johnna Cornett
Well, I'm excited for movie two.  I want to see it opening night, not 
sure how I'll work that in to my life with a baby.  My husband has seen 
Fellowship for the first time on DVD over Thanksgiving weekend, so now 
he wants to see Two Towers with me, hurrah.

A friend brought the DVD by at Thanksgiving, so I got to see much of 
that backstory, making-of footage.  Made me more excited to see the next 
installment.  Made me wonder why I'm not doing cool stuff in my life, 
like making scale models of orthanc, or designing elven swords, or more 
particularly, designing and making the costumes.  
 My daughter was Fleur de la Coeur for Halloween, and making her 
costume was too fun.  She's a natural platinum blonde at this age, and 
her good friend already claimed the Hermione role.

My prediction for this Two Towers movie is that it will be violent.  As 
I was rereading Two Towers this week, I was noticing a preponderance of 
battle scenes.  Also, I 'm looking forward to Eowyn's character being 
introduced to the movie--a fabulous character that could be the star of 
a lesser work.

Reading two of the books a measure of fan status?  I'm running into geek 
rating.  I've read the entire LOTR trilogy four times in the last 
thirteen months.  Too me, the dividing line between the fans and the 
fanatics is learning elvish.   
  Though now more people talk about LOTR and I find I know much more 
about it that other readers, I believe I should give in to my interest 
in the languages of middle earth.  apparently I'm a tolkien geek anyway.

My eight-year-old wants to have a LOTR-themed birthday party next year.  
That's my girl!  

Johnna
okay, I'll admit my friends called me Meriadoc all those years ago, and 
my best friend was Pippin.  anyone else had a LOTR moniker?

[ZION] attribute a quote?

2002-12-09 Thread Johnna Cornett
My mom is looking for an attribution for this quote.  It's a new one to 
me, and delightful.  So for the delight, at the very least, I pass it 
on, and I pass it on hoping someone knows if it has a source.

Brother Lee wants to find a quote he heard. He thinks it is by one of 
the prophets. It goes something like -- If a man is too busy in his 
calling release him so he can do his home teaching. It shows how 
important home teaching is. Anyone familiar with this quote or know how 
to find it and who said it??

RE: [ZION] Madsen claims

2002-11-11 Thread Johnna Cornett
the huntingtons were converts from new hampshire, and arrived in the 
kirtland period.  dimick's sister zina is one of the famous zinas my 
daughter is named after.

 Can't locate such a refernce.  Will continue searching.

 2. William Dimick (Demick? Dimik?) was told by Joseph that he would

 This reference appears to be to William Huntington, and his father, 
 Dimick Huntington.  The Huntingtons were associates with Joseph Smith in 
 
 Nauvoo.  After he was instrumental in delivering Joseph from the mobs in 
 
 Nauvoo, Joseph promised William that he would never taste of death.  
 Madsen refers to this in a footnote--
 
 William Huntington went west with the exodus and settled eventually in 
 Springville, Utah. One night, forty-three years after the Nauvoo 
 incident, just after going to bed he was conversing with his wife in the 
 
 darkness. He said something and she replied. She said something and he 
 did not reply. After two or three repetitions she lighted a lamp. 
 Without a sigh or a shudder he had died. The family believed this was 
 the fulfillment of Joseph's promise, which is universalized in the 
 Doctrine and Covenants: And it shall come to pass that those that die 
 in me shall not taste of death, for it shall be sweet unto them; and 
 they that die not in me, wo unto them, for their death is bitter (DC 
 42:46-47). See diary of Oliver B. Huntington, vol. 2, p. 271, entry of 
 March 19, 1887.

 1989], .)

RE: [ZION] War against all of Islam

2002-11-11 Thread Johnna Cornett
I know an entire family that would fit that description.  Their 
8-year-old daughter is in my daughter's class at school.  We became 
friends when both girls were in kindergarten together.
