An announcement from the distributor of \u201cWitnesses\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This announcement is important enough and fun enough and (in a sense) urgent enough that I thought I should give it its own blog entry.\u00a0 And I\u2019ll give you the text from the image above in slightly larger font:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who do you study church history with?\u00a0 Bring your family or class or group of friends to June 2nd Premiere showing of Witnesses Film and the popcorn is on us!\u00a0 We need feedback on how Witnesses Film brings Come Follow Me to life!\u00a0 So gather your friends, your class or your family and enjoy The Family Movie Event of the Summer.\u00a0 ($25 concessions gift card for groups of 6+.)\u00a0 Message this page when booking.\u00a0 Tickets at<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As I understand it, we have three (or maybe four) theaters at Thanksgiving Point for the Wednesday night (2 June) premiere.\u00a0 All but one of them are pretty well gone \u2014 which surprises me just a bit, because we haven\u2019t openly publicized the screening on 2 June, Wednesday night, very much \u2014 but seats remain in that last one.\u00a0 Accordingly, not wanting to leave available seats unfulfilled, our distributor came up with this idea.\u00a0 I had no part in it, but I like it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re in the vicinity of the Megaplex theaters at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah \u2014 at the north end of Utah County, just to the west of the I-15 freeway \u2014 or if you could<\/em> be or if, for this, would make it a point<\/em> to be \u2014 please try to attend this premiere screening.\u00a0 And bring family or friends.\u00a0 Free popcorn if you bring enough of them!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not in the area but you know someone who is, please let him or her or them know about this.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is recorded in the American Cyclopaedia<\/em> and the Encyclopaedia Britannica<\/em>, that I, David Whitmer, have denied my testimony as one of the three witnesses to the divinity of the Book of Mormon; and that the other two witnesses, Oliver Cowdery and Martin Harris, denied their testimony to that Book.\u00a0 I will say once more to all mankind, that I have never at any time denied that testimony or any part thereof.\u00a0 I also testify to the world, that neither Oliver Cowdery or Martin Harris ever at any time denied their testimony.\u00a0 They both died reaffirming the truth of the divine authenticity of the Book of Mormon.\u00a0 I was present at the death bed of Oliver Cowdery, and his last words were, \u201cBrother David, be true to your testimony to the Book of Mormon.\u201d . . .\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>\u2018He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear;\u2019 it was no delusion! What is written is written, and he that readeth let him understand.\u00a0<\/strong> (David Whitmer, 1887)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Long<\/a>
We hope that audiences will not only enjoy this film, but benefit from it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
