First of all, I really like starting out points saying “First of all”.

Secondly, I wouldn’t want to be in a church that espoused beliefs like my own and have someone stand up and give a contrary opinion that contradicted the beliefs of my church. I would consider that rude as would most people.

Peace be with you

btw, the beer, gun, dogs, etc., were all said in jest.

Don’t you have a funeral to go protest?
 
I know, but once you have expressed your wishes they need to respect them. Otherwise, they are disturbing your peace, which is a misdemeanor. 🙂

The best course of action is:
  1. Verbal notice to the ones that keep pushing.
  2. Verbal notice to the leader of the congregation.
  3. Written Notice.

Hey PR, Im glad and stood your ground in their study. They are leading souls away from Christ, not bringing them closer 👍

As a Roman Catholic, I gave LDS and JW missionaries as much time as wanted. Although I have never attended services, I received MANY invitations. It was getting difficult to resist.

So about three years ago, I printed some cards with a photograph of the Pieta on the top, and the text of the Nicene Creed below. From then on, all discussion began with me asking them to read the text aloud and let me know if there was anything they disagree with. No one has yet read the card aloud. “That’s OK. Go ahead and take it with you. Feel free to return whenever you have time to talk.”

Few have returned.

Look, that comment was uncalled for, just like your behavior at the mormon church service/Sunday school.

How would you have liked it if someone came in the middle of Mass, and did the same thing? You wouldn’t.

It was an immature thing to do, and personally, I think you should write a letter of apology to them.

You’re 19 yrs old, and you don’t know near as much as you think you do, and you have admitted as much.

You got yourself into a situation that you didn’t like, then you act like a toddler throwing a tantrum go get yourself out of it, instead of acting in a mature manner in someone else’s house of worship.

Our country is going to be in a heck of a lot worse shape when your generation starts running things.
 
Just draw a pentagram on your forehead so when you answer the door you can ask them if they would like to join you in a sacrifice?

refer to yourself in the third person and tell them The Master has been waiting a long time for them.

Please do not go. As a Roman Catholic, you should not attend non-Catholic services. They will not help you in your faith, at all. There are only two possible outcomes: 1. you accept their heretical and blasphemous ideas, or 2. you are left with guilt for having attended their service and received no benefit for your time. The thing that you should do is tell them that you are not interested in speaking with them any longer and then pray for their conversion to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church that Our Lord founded, outside of which there is no salvation.

You sound like a religious zealot, Joseph, full of fear. I wonder how much of the bible you really know…
Did you know that the Apostle Paul, the apostle to the gentiles went about debating with other people about faith in the attmpt to convert some? He spent months, years even in Jewish synagogs arguing for Christianity. not to mention the extended times he spent debating with the Greeks. And he won people to Christ, as you should know, establishing 7 churches - including the church in Rome! What if you expressed to this new Catholic that you responded to fearing that something bad would happen, to get familiar with scripture, know it so he can defend it!!! Does that sound like somethng you would consider for future reference? It certainly should be. For it was the very thing that St. Paul (as you call him) told His son in the faith Timothy to do! Look it up in your catholic bible. You will find it there!
I am just amazed at so many of you catholic believers; you have all the knowledge about church tradition and rituals, Rosary, Mother Mary position in the church, churhc writings of old etc…, but you have little or no knowledge and thus no confidence in the very Scripture that supports the existence of your (and mine) church! Shame on you! Take out your Catholic (or any Bible, for that matter) and start studying! And tell that new Catholic to do the same! Then the next time you or he see a Mormon “missionary”, or any non-Christian missionary of that kind, you can actually argue and defend your own faith - and you may just bring them to Christ… How about that! And you know what? The Mormons will either start believing that you are believing rightly and start listening, or they will leave and never come back! Even if you welcomed them back anytime! I know, I always invited them, different teams at diverse times, but I never see them again unfortunately. We gave them love and acceptance, coffee and cookies etc., asked them about their lives, learning about them. But in the end, they got unsure of themselves an being with us, getting too close to us. Most are not very honest (like Jehovah Witnesses), and most of them have a hard time hearing the truth. They are actually religious Joseph, just like you ! Don’t be religious, become a man of faith and knowledge, increase in confidence of what you believe!

I usually ask questions I know the answers to and then ask them to leave…as follows…

Do you folks believe that God the Father came down from heaven and had sex with Mary to produce Jesus? Yup.

Do you folks believe that the King James Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Pearl of Great Price and Doctrines and Covenants are all Scripture? Yup.

Do you believe that as a mormon I will spend eternity with my family? Yup.

Do you believe as a mormon that I can ge a god? Yup.

Do you believe that there was a great Apostasy within the first century? Yup

Thank you, because I cannot nor could I believe any of this…so lets just part ways…

I sometimes add humor…and say…

You know even, if I believed all this stuff, the thought of spending an eternity with my immediate family is not a thought I can entertain and besides most of what you say I could not believe anyway…so let us just part ways…good bye…

here is a black guy on the streets handling mormons quite well…

The essence of dealing with sects like Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, The Way Ministries, The Internatonal Church of God (not of Jesus Christ!), Atheists etc. is to know what we believe as followers of Christ. We need to know Scripture!!! And when we do, Scripture speaks for itself! No argument, no animosity, no hostility. It makes things so simple! And even exciting! Who knows, you might just bring someone to faith in Christ in that process. You are prepared! The second point is that if we want to win a war, we need to have knowledge about the enemy we face. So find out who they are, what they believe, compare that with Holy Scriptures and you know where they are going wrong. Beyond all, keep in mind that THEY are lost, not you, THEY are misled, not you. And they are people just like you. So we need to love them, because they need love, just like you. Jesus said to love our enemies, not just our friends! Let’s love these people into the Kingdom of God and Jesus will be pleased!

Being rasied mormon you need to tell them to leave you alone. They wont! at first they will keep trying and trying thats what they do. Now they have your information which they will share with the local LDS ward which in return you may have other LDS people wanting to talk and be friends with you. Not that there is anyting wrong with being friends. But I know how they work. Stay strong you are Catholic I promise you are already home. Peace

True, and generally I don’t answer the door unless I know who it is. So there are as many times Mormon missionaries have come around and I answered the door, as there are times I didn’t answer the door.

Exactly! That is why I can’t wait to take my RCIA & Catechism classes and learn about the Scriptures so much more! I am excited! I can’t wait to debate on things I have questions about and I feel for my future teachers cuz they will find me challenging. 😃

Being “nice,” doesn’t make you being right. I had an encounter with two nice young Mormon men a few years ago and we discussed many differences in our beliefs, while they could belittle my Savior, Jesus Christ as often as they could, (denying his Divinity) the moment I said that I read that Joseph Smith had a mental problem,( according to his own father first) they became quite irate and jumped up and said they would not tolerate me insulting their leader. I said, “You have been insulting mine all morning.” We totally disagree on who the TRUE leader is." They never came back and neither did any others. God Bless, Memaw
