great witnessing using the confession

Today some mormon "missionaries" tried to convert me. I know all their tricks but I had a cool idea. When they asked me about what I knew about the sabbath I pulled out my Confession and quoted it. They looked shocked and said "thats not bad". They wanted to see a copy of it because they never heard anything "as beautifully put" as that before. It really was a cool. I showed them the shorter catechism question 1 and they were amazed by it. I made a deal with them. I would read the book of mormon (I will pray before hand for protection) if they read the westminster standards. Pray for them.

Your prayer for protection has already been answered. The Book of Mormon is soooo boring. It put me to sleepmany nights. I was reading it because I worked with some Mormons, and wanted to talk to them about religious things, and by reading it, they were more open to what I was talking about. But it was soooo boring. And the fake King James was dreadfull. Great idea on pulling out the confession. I'm gonna steal that idea!
