That recent and noted example by Mittens being an obvious example.


That is where I do not subscribe to your train of thought nor your Wiki Bible.

Who came up with those additional qualities?
Someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages/threads with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

I am passionate about all these topics. But unfortunately this 'TROLL' word has come about and is being used for people who want to discuss topics that they are passionate about or have issues with.
rather than the original title for someone who launches personal attacks on vulnerable people in sensitive situations and their comments are aimed at individuals rather than in forums discussing topics.

Yes occasionally I reply to a comment a poster has directed at me or visa versa, but it is not like we are encouraging someone with suicidal thoughts to commit suicide, or making rude remarks on a dead persons tribute page.


Reality Check? / Hypocrite Alert.
Why are you on a website that promotes debate and discussion, with the graphics calling one another 'Liar and Heathen?' if you are going to call people TROLLs for voicing their opinion?

You came to a realisation this week that you can no longer compete with your wishy washy doctrines and because you can't beat us you have joined the rest of us TROLLs.
lol.

Sub is absolutely correct! Maybe you have not seen some of the posts he is referring to.

Mittens, perhaps you should try reading the scriptures a bit more and look at U Tube a bit less.

Mormons don't have personal relationship with Jesus or worship him



Our Relationship with the Lord
BRUCE R. MCCONKIE
Now, it is no secret that many false and vain and foolish things are being taught in the sectarian world and even among us about our need to gain a special relationship with the Lord Jesus. I shall summarize the true doctrine in this field and invite erring teachers and beguiled students to repent and believe the accepted gospel verities as I shall set them forth.

We worship the Father and him only and no one else. We do not worship the Son, and we do not worship the Holy Ghost. I know perfectly well what the scriptures say about worshipping Christ and Jehovah, but they are speaking in an entirely different sense--the sense of standing in awe and being reverentially grateful to him who has redeemed us. Worship in the true and saving sense is reserved for God the first, the Creator.
Christ worked out his own salvation by worshiping the Father.

After the Firstborn of the Father, while yet a spirit being, had gained power and
intelligence that made him like unto God; after he had become, under the Father, the Creator of worlds without number; after he had reigned on the throne of eternal power as the Lord Omnipotent--after all this he yet had to gain a mortal and then an immortal body.

Mittens, where did you hear that false tale? Oh, let me guess; U tube! By the way Drifting, there is nothing in the Book of Mormon about Jaradite submarines with glass windows! Also, Mittens, we have a more personal relationship with Christ because we follow what he teaches. For example, he teaches to keep the commandments and to worship the Father!

Matthew 8
1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him

Matthew 9:
18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead:

Mathew 15:
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.

Matthew 28:
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me



Acts 7
59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

isn't prayer to Jesus Worshiping him ?

3 Nephi 19:

18 And behold, they began to pray; and they did pray unto Jesus, calling him their Lord and their God.

22 Father, thou hast given them the Holy Ghost because they believe in ame; and thou seest that they believe in me because thou hearest them, and they pray unto me; and they pray unto me because I am with them.

30 And when Jesus had spoken these words he came again unto his disciples; and behold they did pray steadfastly, without ceasing, unto him; and he did smile upon them again; and behold they were white, even as Jesus.
