  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi There!

:wave:



Am I right in reading that all the new mormon members are here trolling from another site, and that they planned their trip over here to disrupt this forum?



~serapha~
Sure seems to be that way. Maybe the best thing we can do it ignore their attempts to continue to disrupt and just go on like they aren't here.

God Bless,

Isn't trolling just a bit childish? I would think that since they are representing the CoJCoLDS's, that it must certainly be an embarrassment for the true character of the church members to be displayed in such an obnoxious manner.


I truly feel sorry for the genuine believers in the Mormon church whose work is being undermined by such degenerated behavior.

don't they know realize that they are only making their church look bad?

Yes, it is childish and deceptive to boot. "Lying for the lord" is never a good thing. Shameful behavior to say the least.

Yes. Agreed.

I think they don't "realize" a lot of things. And I think that deceptive behaviour, and also gossiping about those here by name, are also indicative of the general state of affairs regarding the LDS church.

The ones that came here from the LDS board came because they were invited.

If you wish to view that as trolling, go right ahead. BUT, when they came, they saw right away that they were called blasphemers (that was one of the words used), deceivers (that was another), and other such names, which I view as an un-Christian thing to do. Did not Christ call us to love each other, especially those we consider our enemies? I have seen no such Christ-like attitude from those here, either.

IMO, everyone acted shamefully. EVERYONE.

If you feel this way,Maybe you should take part in some of the more philosophical threads here and forget about the drama.

Hello Jenda,

:wave:


Goodness... I got blasted on the open forum for welcoming the new members... so... if you believe for one second that the new members are
"just responding" to posters, you are deceived. I did see the posting where you are from that other forum...

and I am so glad to see that you have come to this forum... I was told to take advantage of the opportunity of presenting the true gospel to those who are "new" to this forum....


My friend, are you saved? Is there a time in your life when you can point to a moment in your life and say.... My life changed. I put my faith in Jesus Christ to redeem me of my sins... and I am now a new creature in Christ.


Has you have experienced that moment? Today is the day of salvation. If you haven't given your life over to the Christ of Calvary... now is a good time.


If you have already given your life to Christ... then be a shining example of Christ to others.

Pointing to a wrong, in order to justify another wrong is flawed logic in my opinion. I just find it absolutely fascinating that some people want to come to CF, the home of a man who is for the main an evangelical and exalt their own belief structures above his, in his own home....
My next door neighbor is Muslim. We have a very friendly relationship. We often go to their house for supper. I never go there and contradict him and then toilet paper his house, when he makes statements I disagree with, about Christianity. So should this forum be respected as the home of an evangelical who may, or may NOT accept LDS as "Christian".

I've seen no LDS "trolls" here, and I'm a active reader of many LDS related and christian forums, so I've seen no "plans to disrupt" either.
I also know that LDS don't do this kind of thing whatsoever. They may hear of a forum and go check it out, and maybe it happens that they make a post or two and then aren't interested, but I haven't yet seen that here in this section of the forum at least.
This kind of thing is hardly anything related to the charges that have been made here.

Maybe someone could post the evidence of this slanderous charge?
I suspect thought that the evidence is quite innocent as I've described above, if seen in passing by those who think they know such.

Thus, no you are not "right", sounds like simply another false rumor in order to degrade the Church and its members.

I don't appreciate any such tactic to disrupt peaceful discussion, no matter which side they come from.

Don't we have our own "trolls" here which are still actively engaged in the disruption of many of the threads here. There is no discussion, only antagonism.

While I'm sure the those LDS poster will soon tire of CF and its unorthodox forum, our "resident" trolls will continue on as before, no questions asked.


I personally haven't been the best example of what a true believing LDS is, but I am typically willing to listen to others views as they present themselves without quickly condemning them.

I also apologize if lately, I seem a little on edge and my comments have been a little less polished.

Truth being said, I am on edge and frustrated with this site, but I have made many good friends and associates here, that I do enjoy interacting with if given the chance.

Whatever happens, I am still grateful for the lessons learned during my time at CF.

Maybe they don't like the fact that LDS are posting on this forum, when I thought all were welcome here. I'll PM Erwin and ask him. As a matter of fact, non LDS members are the ones constantly starting the debates with LDS.

Well, I certainly do like to give the benefit of any doubt...so I went to the source and verified the veracity of the now "infamous rumour". I am smart enough to comprehend what I read. What I read was a planned attack by some LDS posters, two to be exact if I recall correctly, AFD and Winnie G, who did indeed show up here with hostile attitudes, and many offensive statements. Indeed, at the "source" there were even posts naming people from CF who were to "be avoided". How nice. How "Christian". How childish.
Please do not tell me that I misread or did not understand their intentions or in any way imply that I am not smart enough to add 1+1.

Let me add as well, that some LDS come here and may "act" as trolls, but they are simply responding to what they see, and sincerely and honestly not thinking it's good whatsoever, so they make their voice known, which they are free to do.

At least if they do troll, they aren't degrading a person's beliefs and religion.
In contrast, those who "troll" LDS forums are nothing but degrading LDS and their religion.
LDS that might troll here, are simply addressing their feelings on the negative human behaviors that they see.
This is not unreasonable. It is in fact indicative of a condition with those who are anti-religion in whatever their target might be.
LDS simply recognize what behaviors are good, and what are not.
Yes, sometimes our responces to those things aren't the friendliest, but such should not be unexpected in the same way that a child who is beat for years pops his father in the face asking him to stop or else.

Hi there!

:wave:

Look, I've been told to take advantage of the fact that you and your friends have chosen to come to this site to post... and in doing so... I get to reply back to your postings.


God loves you. :hug:

Did you know that? Even if you came here for the wrong reason, you're going to hear the truth for the right reason. The Christ of Calvary died for your sins, and if you were the only person who believed in Him, He still would have died. Just for you.

And you know what... He's waitng for your decision. right now. You see... the Christ of Calvary, the Christ of "The Passion" is different from the mormon Jesus. That's why you would be needing to make a new decision in your life.

Today is the day of salvation.
