First I refused to use my 2007 SUV. I said that it was overdue for service and I did not want to risk damaging it. So we all pile in the POs Scion with his business name (cleaning duh) plastered on it.
As usual nobody comes to the door as we take turns (Po and I and the other two Bros) doing the territory. A string of six trailers parked along a dirt road leaves our shoes caked with mud and dust up to our knees. I take note of the POs ruined car interior and think that could have been mine.
I have mixed emotions towards this man as he is one of the most demented yet vulnerable people I have ever met.
His wife died recently (in agony) of cancer and he took on additional duties (like being PO, teaching P School, a language school etc) rather than taking care of her. He also DF'ed his fourth daughter during the illness leaving his dying wife with NO family eligible to visit her. Instead the Sister from the congo took turns cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, bed pan duty etc while the Bros cut his grass.
Anyway, at one of the last houses we tried to place some stale WTs with a "love your neighbor" theme and got a door slammed in our faces. He waited till we got back in the car, described it to the other Bros and told us "You see Brothers, that kind of persecution proves that we are doing something right!"
I'd been waiting for that one so I put on my best village idiot face and answered back "Yes 'Brother' we get persecuted even worse than the Jews did in Nazi Germany!"
So I got the lecture about how lots of JWs died there and I answered "Yes, all three of them were loyal to Jehovah to the end" That ended the discussion pretty much.
