blessings brothers and sisters in Christ,

Occasionally there maybe a time when there is no admin present in chat. it does not happen often but it does happen.

thought i would post some ideas for when a troll ( someone who is there just to cause trouble swear post bad stuff et) is in chat and at that time there are no admins present.

first and most importantly pray for their souls they are lost -damned to hell on their current path.

second if you can not abide by their language use the ignore button ( they will see what you type but you will not see what they type)and continue praising the Lord or sharing Bible verse or testifying. (often when they do not get any reaction but the love of the Lord they may leave on their own)


third post here so admin can see you need help .

these are just some of my ideas ( and i am only speaking for myself lol). use the ones you find helpful
ignore the rest.
love your sister in Christ,
Rebekah David

All good! I would add:

Do not feed them the junk food they came for. When they come to swear, or accuse you of following myths, or tell you about ebolution etc, or even ask explain why you believe, do not act in a way that gives them any excuse to criticise them. Don't get angry, don't call them names, don't get sucked into an argument that they control.

Try treating them with more respect than they have a right to expect, more patience than they expect, and turn topics of their choosing, towards topics that they need. Evolution is not a topic upon which salvation rests, so try to maneuver the discussion in that direction.

As often as not, they can be calmed down and forget why they came, and actually have a decent conversation. For those who refuse to behave respectfully, just remember to pray for them and the situation, and do not react in an un-Christianlike fashion, and yes, the ignore button can be helpful. When a stubborn troll comes in, and no one is responding to the buttons he is trying to push, he will go away or change behavior, because he is not being rewarded with junk food. Give them meat, or leave them hungry.

Great advice, Omega - I think the admins in chat are just the best!! They do a wonderful job of guiding and helping those who need the help and prayer. They are protective when they see something ugly coming down. I will use that ignore button more often in the future - I wish I had one in real life!!! :emot-drool: :laugh: :P

I think it is great to learn how to maneuver the discussion to Christ. This is a learned skill, as much as the moving by the Holy Spirit from within. Practice trying to change the subject before you choose to ignore the chatter. This will become very valuable when you are talking to people in general.

This is done a little at a time and not a slam dunk change. Take little steps away from their topic and toward Christ by listening to what they are saying and giving them a Christian answer. Remember, love goes a long way!

Proverbs 15:1
A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

i am not a chat admin or a worthy watchman but i do deal with thes type of people in the real world one thing i have learnt when it comes to dealing with non believers who swear or who push and ask the hard questions dont be afraid to answer them i bounce in a pub i am only working in a pub to get my car on the road and i am bringing my fiance to australia i have just gotten my security licence i have chossen to work in this industry for my reasons

dont give any one the power to rule you or control you trolls come to on line christian forums for a reason some push to see weather they can get you to crack if some one is doing that just rebuke the spirit not the person listen and before responding ask god to show you what to say to the person


i have heard christians freak out in public we had one lady who would freak out weighting in line to pay for her food she had just brought she would say out loud satan is tormenting me satan is standing next to me and my poor pastor would get disturbed

dont do this to a troll or some one who is swearing at you


say nicley can you please not swear and they will stop


i reach out to guys that the church is too scared to reach out to i hear worse then what you would in chat i have been doing this for a long time and it does not worry me if some one i am talking to is swearing


remember you were once like thes trolls try not to feed them is sound advice


out reach workers are taught this try also not to let your ego destroy what god is wanting to do in that persons life


what you can do when chatting to the troll ask the holy spirit to show you if they are serious you will now if some one is serious

always be in control and never let some one you cant see get the better of you pray before you go into chat and pray when you sign out of chat

put on his armor and have christian music playing when you are on line

i have the local christian radio station on when i am home and before i sign in too worthy i pray over my self asking god to put a hedge around me and around my home


it takes a lot of practice to be were i am i love talking to non believers i love hanging out in the mall on friday and saturday nights

use wisdom dont dive in saying to your self i am going to teach this trol a lesson how dare they speak to me like this this is gods house and i wil not have that troll behaving like that

dont egg a troll on or give him your bible verses you know so well


find out who they are ask them why have they come to a christian on line forum show some intrest and state you dont want to argue on evalution or the big bang


jesus hanged out with the out casts he did not become a religous person were he sheltered him self from the real world


when you sign off pray pray and ask god to take what ever you are feeling dont go to bed angry dont dwell on what you have been discussing this helps when you have been involved in a heated topic dont let the spirits i see sticking to you satan also uses people he has his own army

pray over this forum and pray over the staff we are humen beings
