A view point on LOTR

[Tessar]

Ok,

I dont think this is Spaming or anything.

A Australian pen-pal of mine wrote some thing about the lord of the rings, he asked me if i could put it up on the entmoot. I said yes.

he will not be getting anything out of this except some people looking at his thoughts on the subject.

he and i have been pen-pals for, hummmmmmm... gosh i guess it has been a year!

he is a really nice man. and funny too! (I am trying to get him to sighn up with entmoot so that is how he knows about it)


Well I hope I dont get banned for this but I'm willing to try it for this guy, hear goes!

YES! I DID IT!

That's not spamming. We people do it ALL the time. Spamming is where you repeat a post to make your own point and dont let anyoe else in there and that is against the rules form what I heard so I dont think you have to worry about it. Look in the rules to find out more.

[Ben]

How about putting this in the right forum...

[Tessar]

sorry Ben,
I didn't know where to put it so i just put it there.

sorry.

Very interesting essay, though it would seem to take for granted that it's readers are Christians, even of a certain kind.

[Tessar]

Mr. Nimmo says.

Thanks for mentioning the article. It was written for a certain audience,
but I thought that it's content might also interest a wider group. Thank
Inoldonil for his comment. I'll have to register some time. I am really
busy until the end of the year.

so now i need to thank you Inoldonil.


T h a n k y o u !!!

[Tessar]

c'mon, now your supost to say "your welcome".......lol

[Wayfarer]

Hmmm... Subcreation.

Now where have I heard that before? :p

[Ñólendil]

Er, you're welcome!

[Tessar]

Well I hope that my pen-pal joins entmoot, he is a very inteligent man and he is really fun to talk to (well like, email talk).

*hint hint!*

[Fat middle]

it is an interesting read, though i must say that it has left me a feeling of insatisfaction: too many points are deal with and very few of them are enough developed. they seem to be only intuitions.

anyway i agree with what i think it is its capital point: that the christian concept of grace is always present in the book.

i'd add that this is specially clear in the final chosen by Tolkien for the story: Frodo need an external aid without which he never could have finished his task.

[Eruviel Greenleaf]

That was quite interesting. . . .thanks for putting it up.

[Ararax]

yep

[Tessar]

I just read it.

I will say what arax said "whoa, deep."

"And talking plants" plants?! PLANTS?! why you...! lol j/k
