Well there's your problem right there! BDF is good for only one thing. If you got trouble with low blood pressure, pop in there and read a few threads of people yelling at each other. That blood pressure will shoot right on up there.

Aside from that, avoid that forum. Like, the whole forum. Lots of people there who like to make themselves feel good by making other people look bad, and they can get real vicious about it. Acrimony, sanctimony, it got all the bad -monys in it. Almost as poisonous as antimony in there.
And for a Christian community, isn't that a great shame. Christians in community, and the worst forum for sin filled behaviors against one another, against fellow Christians, is the forum wherein we are to discuss the word of God.
I've visited a few Christian community sites and their BDF's aren't much better. There's a parable in there somewhere. And it isn't a good look.

But here in online Christendom, no way :eek:

Finally, and I know how very un-wokish this is going to sound, but Siamese Trolls ..... while they may be cute and all, they are just the WORST, aren't they (those cheeky little devils, you just can't trust'm) :mad:



But those actual Troll dolls are far too cute to be associated with that what trolls Christians.
Those Siamese hair troll twins are single. We just know that, right? ;) :LOL:

Some trolls do provide interesting research projects, lol. Sorry, just being silly.

Sereriously though...

Maybe, just maybe... a troll will come in seeking to stir up, but instead find Jesus Stirring them up to repentance. Let's all pray for them.


I think Robo and Once do a great job with reguards to administrating the site overall. Though this is a Christian site, it still exist in a fallen world that needs Jesus.
No, I'd say you're right. They do provide interesting research subjects. Their choice to troll , of all places on the Net, Christians, is telling. And also, they show us where could be if we hadn't found Christ.
Maybe that is what leads them to troll, of all places, a place where people who love God come to talk and share together. Maybe deep inside themselves, God is leading them to be better people. And that's the start. And when they see, no matter how hard they work at it, that we don't delve to their depths in response to their goading, it just may get through. That the light and love of Christ does exist and does make for a better person. And maybe, just maybe, they'll find their way to Christ.

How wonderful it would be to witness a troller come to Jesus.

Is it trolls turn to stone when the sun shines on them?

My sister used to have troll dolls back in the day when they didnt wear any clothes. But now they have actually started wearing them, so maybe they got civilised?

I've had that happen in real life. A guy I knew at w*rk from... a certain kind of church denomination... was always arguing with people of other denominations about things they did that his church did not do. He didn't stick around long because he would rather argue than w*rk.

Fourteen years later this guy walks up to me out of nowhere and apologizes for all the arguments he tried to start with me. He looks a lot happier now.

Amen. That's why I pray for them, and even put that into a thread when I sometimes speak to them. Sometimes I don't say anything because given the level of animus they have as is obvious in their threads , I don't want that to compound if they see a Christian telling them they are in my prayers.
