I was visited by Mormons at my door "selling" their religion and for a laugh I invited them in. They showed me pictures of people in heaven and they all looked just like they would have on earth...a grandma wearing an apron; a grandpa smoking a pipe, etc. They said I could be much happier if I converted to their religion and accepted Jesus. I said "Well, I'm happy enough...I don't want to be any happier." They were dumbfounded and didn't know what to say...and then they left. Do you think that was a good answer?

if it got them to leave, and made them shut up, hell yeah!

Yes, becuase you told the truth. If you say something and you truly believe it, others know that and can't sway you. I didn't know angels needed an apron, would smoke a pipe, or even had a gender! The Bible teaches that they are God's messengers and have been in heaven since before humans were even created...interesting thought that the photos showed those types of images.

Sure it was you were honest with them. Next time don't invite them in. At least they aren't like the Jehovah Witnesses those people don't stop!! Trust me on that! My mother and Grandmother are JW's and there is nothing worse than having a JW in the family! Just can't slam the door in my mom's face!! haha You have a right to your beliefs and no one can force you to believe any different.

Mormonism is a cult:
Those who reject the Book of Mormon
2 Nephi 27:14 "The Lord God will proceed to bring forth the words of the book; and in the mouth of as many witnesses as seemeth him good will he establish his word; and wo be unto him that rejecteth the word of God!"
2 Nephi 33:5 "No man will be angry at the words which I have written save he shall be of the spirit of the devil."

Of course I mean why else would they be dumbfounded if you said a bad reply they could have said something else instead of leave and not say anything

Yeah, you were honest. I just don't open or when I am outside and they still come and pressure even though you rejected I just tell them I have given my soul to the devil. That there is nothing left.

I guess it was because they left! Now I know what to say when they show up at my door.....
LOL - thanks for the tip!
I know I wouldn't have invited them in, I would have very quickly said "no thank you" and closed the door as soon as possible.

Should have asked them what would happen if your husband was only good enough for the telestial kingdom and you were sent to the celestial one.

I never would have let them in I would have slammed the door in their face. Practice what you want it's your freedom, but don't preach your crap to me, because I don't care.
