JWs doing door-to-door Taiwan

2. experiences
i spotted these two "sisters" on the left at the gate, and two "brothers" walking on the right, near my workplace in taiwan.

i'm not really a taoist/buddhist, but sporting the warrior wizard shirt while burning incense in the temple made me feel like some kind of naughty double-apostate .

the one-hundred+ year-old wu fu ("five fortunes") temple, near my apartment.
