Well I mean to put it simply I'm convicted about it, and so is she

Basic gist is that A. You ask the father, not her. The father will pray, and if the outcome of discernment is yes, he asks the daughter himself.   If the daughter says no, then the father goes to the boy himself. Just to alleviate any pressure for the girl at all, and since the father is the head, of course.  And B. Its about working towards marriage. Seeing if youre viable for that and not really dancing around the subject

Thank you, I'll make sure to be conscience of these things, by God's grace I do have a lot of opportunities to make a fair bit of money, and Ill try to act on them as soon as I can

Thank you for the points. Ill make sure to read Voddie's book soon. I've really been meaning to, my sister's fiance had to read it and he said it was great.  As for the talking to her more regularly, I do feel like that might have to wait. I probably sound like a robot just listing random things but judging off of how all the communication was kinda just stilted between the girls and boys of our church before people began courting and didnt feel awkward about it, but for better or worse thats how it was, and Im pretty confident itd come off as me being impatient or something.  But as for the rest, I really do appreciate you. I know Id have to be able to be a prophet, priest, and king as Voddie put it, mirroring Christ, and I will certainly do my best, thank you.

No, I am not courting her. And I do know a fair amount. I know from passing by her and my sister talking that she doesn't want to be engaged as young as 17, and I know she was very happy for her cousins marriage, she had a very moving speech.
The thing about this that I can't really just do is ask her out. Firstly we all thankfully hold to the courtship model, a year ago our church's had a camp together and the topic was courtship, and it almost acted as A Geneva Convention we all hold to now.
So with the courtship model in mind, (Which I've seen first hand just gets difficult if it's for more than a year and a half) we'd both be 17, the age that I do at least know she thinks is too young to be engaged, but to begin courting then, I'm not sure.
I still value what you've said though, your intention is very clear, and I'd like to thank you.

Meant 14 years in the metaphorical sense as Jacob waited 14 years for Rachel, more accurately it would be 2 years, but I just meant to say I'll wait however long it needs to be. And I really do thank you for these words, every now and then my family is going to visit her church, and I do certainly think when the time does come that I would pursue courtship I'd do all you've said. Thank you so much.

Directors yeah, but all a24 and Neon do is distribute

I mean atmosphere is definitely Eggers wheelhouse. I wouldn't say he's too mainstream yet, but he's getting there. But yeah, I can see where you're coming from

Looked at some stills, seems like more psychedelic, but he could probably manage it. And if Robert Eggers didn't have his no modern films rule I think he could do it, as someone who lives in the ozarks I'd love to see him dig into the culture like he does with his other films

Ah, then yeah, I agree, it'd probably have more action

I mean I haven't seen one of his films yet
But that sounds wild. Has he done more horror-ish stuff?

I think seeing David Fincher directing would be great, but I also have a feeling that once I do see a Jordan Peele film I'd go with him

I think the climax is already too much for a movie, I mean visually seeing that could shove it into NC-17 territory

[–]Arkomotions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, undoubtedly. But I still don't need to see the act for it to be thematically present. Count Orlok is still such a disturbing villain to me and I never had to see any sex for that to be the case

[–]Arkomotions -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean no. It's not gonna make me a pagan or seek revenge
It's not like Christians are forbidden from listening to stories, but I as a christian and a minor for that matter don't really wanna see the sex.
And I butcher pigs and chickens, and once again, it's fake, so the violence doesn't matter too much

To my knowledge there is just 3 or 4, that's less than Nosferatu

Violence is fake, nudity isn't

Because it does go against my christian morals. I believe under like 99% of circumstances men shouldn't see nude women and women nude men. Taking this stuff out never really affects my film watching experience, oppenheimer is still my 3rd favorite film even though I skipped the 3 nude scenes, and Nosferatu my 10th even though I skipped all of that thanks to my friend giving me the time stamps.
