Do you honestly believe I could say/write it in anyway ... gracious enough... that would make it acceptable?
The Internet Troll Personality Disorder is characterized by attention-seeking and disruptive behavior in anonymous, delocalized places of socializing. It is indicated by the following traits: 1. A tendency to make provocative comments to invoke emotional responses in others 2. A lack of connection to the community being trolled; i.e., will leave if desired response is not invoked ("Do not feed the trolls!") 3. A dissatisfaction with one's life and a cynical attitude towards things in general 4. A tendency to challenge the rules and authorities of a community 5. A preference to exhibit these behaviors only in places where one's true identity is unknown It's just typical troll behavior to refuse to take a position while repeatedly demanding that everyone else substantiate theirs STOP FEEDING THE TROLL. This thread was dead until he bumped it for his own ego demanding that people talk about him. It's just so obvious, people, c'mon....
Just like any conversation, it may not be accepted by everyone but it can be written where it is respected by everyone. Though I may disagree with someone else's post, but I should be able to respect the person who made the post. We can respect one another as individuals even though we may be of different beliefs/passions/opinions. We've been studying the Fruit of the Spirit and how to apply it better in our lives. As Christians, if we live the fruit of the spirit, I believe the world would respect Christians more and maybe even listen to what they are saying more. Just a thought. My opinion. For those wondering what I'm talking about - see end of post. There will always be people who reject the message, regardless of how it is delivered but there are people who are open and are willing to listen. So let's not push people away but share God's Truth in Love. Fruit of the spirit (I like the verse that says there is no law against doing these things): love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control Galatians 5:16-26 16So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. 19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
All you have to do is not reply. Get my drift??!! No one is asking for your opinion and if you don't want mine don't tune in. Go pound sand or something! That goes for turtlespit and anybody else.
So...no one is asking for OUR opinion BUT if we do NOT want YOURS, we are free not to tune in. So its ok for you to post yours, even though no one asked for it, but we are not free to post our opinion? Very "christianlike" there Ormly. Dont feed the trolls!
Yes I know and you a qualified to make those judgments, to be sure. If you want to be a dead thread, pound sand.
People... why oh why is everyone continuing to dance for this puppet master? I mean just let him play all by himself. It's call ignoring! resist the urge to respond to this post. say a little prayer and walk away from the computer and just ignore it. Don't continue to indulge in the circle jerk and let it end here...
