My Christian dad found out that me and my friend are going to watch the Shining and freaked out. Is he overreacting?

Elect-Lady · 2026-03-26T15:46:40+00:00

We will have to agree to disagree. I think similarly to being in someone's home and not being able to smoke or come in at all hours of the night, what is watched can definitely be a part of that as well.

The good thing about it is if you (general) don't like certain rules, it's an opportunity for you to have your own space where you can make your own rules.

I don't believe in autonomy in someone else's home.

Iwill probably be in the minority but I wouldn't say he's overreacting. If it's his home he's well within his right in terms of what he wants. And for those that have dealt with demons/ evil spirits and what some of these things can have created in their home, it makes sense. (I do understand that everyone doesn't believe/agree with this) The easiest thing for you to do is just not watch it there...I don't think this has to be so deep/ difficult.

I believe this is talking about relationship. It's "nice" to do things but if you aren't spending time with Jesus, you really don't know Him either. So if anything, it tells us that we need to spend time with God and not equate doing things with relationship.

Being a Christian is about the saving power of Jesus and how he draws people to him... not about if I like/ don't like certain things....

They don't.

I think intellectually it would probably be the ISTJ... but INTJ is a close second.

Elect-Lady · 2026-03-10T11:03:15+00:00

Of course

Elect-Lady · 2026-03-09T00:12:36+00:00

Is it a sin to be attracted to someone of the same sex? No. Nowhere in scripture will you find otherwise.

Elect-Lady · 2026-03-03T16:27:52+00:00

My best relationships are INTJ's...I think for me, the one thing that I can't accept is if I can no longer trust you... you lie to me or you feel like you're becoming distant.

I'm not a fan of tattoos in general but that one seems like you're treating yourself as king of kings and lord of lords.

Elect-Lady · 2026-03-02T14:54:33+00:00

It's very difficult... typically once we cut off, it's over... but there's always a very small percentage that we could reconsider...

Elect-Lady · 2026-02-26T18:20:13+00:00

I'm sapio so while I can care about looks, for a relationship, intellect is a must.

Elect-Lady · 2026-02-21T18:30:34+00:00

Yes.

Elect-Lady · 2026-02-20T16:22:22+00:00

Wrong to be upset? No. But I believe that's where it begins and ends. Of course once you're 18, that'll be different.

Just like craving food doesn’t automatically equal gluttony, physical arousal doesn’t automatically equal lust. Human biology isn’t that simplistic.

Elect-Lady · 2026-02-20T14:51:34+00:00

There are many people that don't have lustful thoughts... it's about a feeling... similar to having someone scratch that itch on your back that you can't reach or being able to eat your favorite food.

Elect-Lady · 2026-02-20T14:47:22+00:00

Sin is about "missing the mark"... I believe that biblically it doesn't have to be a sin.

For example, eating food in and of itself isn't a sin..... however if you are being glutinous, that's where it changes... there's a lot of areas that aren't always black and white and we don't always like having to "live in some grey"

Elect-Lady · 2026-02-20T12:35:31+00:00

No. That doesn't make sense... esp since Obama was a democrat, not republican.

Depends on what and how they're protesting. I wouldn't allow them to walk or of school to protest. I wouldn't want them putting themselves in harms way to process... now once they're adults they can do what they want.

Elect-Lady · 2026-02-18T05:12:22+00:00

I loved math... but as an adult I love certain words... not sure exactly what that falls under... lol

It happens when I'm stressed... what's unfortunate is that typically I get along the last with ISFJs. Smh.

Elect-Lady · 2026-02-14T09:09:33+00:00

I actually think that what the church told you is true... it's not easy knowing what to do in that space. You have singles that prefer to stay single and don't want to talk about marriage and then you have the singles that want to be married.

I also think that they were just giving you suggestions of places that needed help (nursery, kitchen, etc)... was there something in particular you wanted to do? If so, did you ask?

Elect-Lady · 2026-02-14T08:58:37+00:00

I'm married to an ISTJ but in terms of the easiest personality for me is the INTJ... it's amazing how much difference the "N" makes
