I've had many years close contact to different missionaries in assignments all over the world. And I noticed that many of them said, that people were "lovely, warm hearted, etc." but that it was a big hurdle to accept that the "true religion" was basically american and had "corporation taste" all over it...they took long, long hard conversations to hammer that into these poor minds.
I asked one of these missionaries: "What if Jehovah had choosen Saudi Arabia as the country to start this thing. How would Americans and Europeans accept a guy saying that gods true organization is in Saudi Arabia...." He laughed and said that it was divine direction to setup foot in Brooklyn.....lol
