dB-Paradox Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 It'll be a classic Disney movie. But I think the whole story of being trapped in a tower is significant to us apostates. And if even the average Christian can see the wrong in Rapunzel's entrapment in the film, then surely they must see the wrong in their own?

foolish girl Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 OH I LOVED This movie! Definitely a hit! Love the metaphor too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serendipity Rose Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Most Christians haven't gotten to the point that they can recognize the entrapment. That was very nicely done! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dB-Paradox Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Glad you all liked the vid and the metaphor! Like I said in the video's description, it could be have been pointed out in any number of films, I just simply saw it in this one. And I agree that Christians won't recognize their own entrapment.

Moderator Margee Posted February 23, 2011 Moderator Share Posted February 23, 2011 This metaphor goes so much further for me . It's not just about being entrapped in the doctrine of christianity - it's about being trapped in the whole 'doctrine' of life and how everyone has told you how to think, act , believe and behave. The whole metaphor of this 'clip' stands for 'people pleasing' for me. Not being able to be who you really are..............................................

dB-Paradox Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 I hear ya, Margee. I'm a people-pleaser, and I feel both liberated and guilty for actually wanting to please myself and just be me. That's probably why I noticed the metaphor in the first place when Rapunzel is so excited to have left her tower, but feels at war with the feelings of guilt.

Evelyn Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'm so glad I watched that clip all the way thru. I haven't seen the movie as I'm not a movie person. What a great metaphor for deconversion, wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
