We have all been there.
We have argued with missionaries, home/visiting teachers, family, friends of the ward, priesthood leaderships, and random ward members...
We make valid points right down the line.
Sometimes we are so good that we shut them down, and there is a pause, and they move on to the next question.
When they cant gain any traction... it's time for "The Last Argument"
Here it comes... you can tell... you see it in their condescending smile...
At the end of every argument, they question your testimony. They question how you "feel".
When facts are defeated, they switch to feelings.
They tell you that nothing matters because they still have a testimony, and YOU never really had one.
Then... they tell you that you need to get a testimony... THAT'S THE PROBLEM!
They tell you that you need to READ the BoM more, pray about it, and get an answer.
Some of us tell them we HAVE... but they just respond with you didn't do it HARD ENOUGH, and keep praying until you receive an answer in the affirmative.
That's it. That's their trump card, and they play it every time when they have nothing else.
