Okay! My favorite would probably be Praise You in This Storm or East to West. There's so many good ones though. xD

Wow, I haven't heard those songs in so long that I've forgotten what they sound like. Except for Slow Fade, which is in the soundtrack for Fireproof. :P I also love Glorious Day, Your Love Is Extravagant, Voice of Truth, Lifesong, Already There… etc etc etc…

By "arrogant", I just meant that I think preaching such a definite "good" or "bad" about a movie you've never seen, when many Christians have reasons for recommending it, is thinking more highly of your discernment than you should.

It's true that it wasn't your idea to start a discussion about how bad Frozen is. But until you've seen a movie, wouldn't it be better to keep your mind open to the various ideas of those who have seen it? You acted like there was NO chance anyone else could be right. It wouldn't be compromising to reconsider if someone presents new ideas why it's nothing like some people say it is.

As for "bad" vs. "wouldn't recommend it", "bad" implies that it is morally evil and totally inappropriate. "Wouldn't recommend it" just implies that you're not comfortable with it because it seems questionable.

In what way is it thinking more highly of my discernment than I should? I could say the same thing about you calling it good, even though you did see it. And even if the movie were 100% ok, I still wouldn't watch it because it's a girly movie geared toward younger kids, so to me, yes, it is a bad movie.

I just don't think we should make strong, definitive moral statements about movies we've never seen if lots of like-minded Christians approve of it.

Uh, nobody talks like that. I walked out in the middle of Stuart Little because I thought it was boring and corny. But other people think it's sweet and enjoyable. So I would so "That's a bad movie for me!" I would say "I don't enjoy that movie." "Bad" gives the wrong impression.

People can think whatever they want about it. Of course we don't just go up to someone and randomly tell them that Frozen is a bad movie, but if we've been asked, I consider it perfectly fine to give one's opinion regarding a movie.

And if I felt about Frozen as you do, having not seen it, I would say that it doesn't seem like a good movie. But I would say that it had bad messages beyond a shadow of a doubt.

And if I send two more (which I probably will) it'll be the most since September 16, 2012. xP *leaves for dinner*

Just did it… And one more will break that record too… xP

Guys! I actually forgot about MV. I don't know how that's even possible. xP
Total depravity.

I know… :(

Hey Nathan!

Lol! Um, thanks for that too then!

Randomish, but I've been wanting to know… xP Am I the only one who now talks to myself in plural? "Okay, seriously, we need to get studying now. And you! Don't you dare say you don't feel like it either…" xP
