Pacman Testing to stable

I was running stable and I recently uncommented testing in my pacman.conf. Then pacman -Syu

So now I got testing packages. Is there anyway to go back and not use them.

I tried commenting out the testing in pacman.conf and tried pacman -Syu

local package newer is what I get.

How do I make it upgrade to all the older packages. Think its like 20 of them.

Make a note of all the local newer packages and reinstall them with pacman -Sy.

You could always use cut or something to parse the pacman output, and only keep the package name from all "local package is newer" messages.
Then you can feed this list to pacman.
