Has a rather unusual visit this morning.

 

Two well dressed men turned up at my door, the conversation (verbatim) went like this:

 

"Good Morning, we are from the Jehovahs Witness Church.

 

We are looking to find Samoan Families so we can talk to them about our religion.

 

I can see you are obviously not Samoan, do you know if there are any Samoan Families that are your neighbours"

 

When I said I did not know of any (neighbours behind us are Tongan) they thanked me, shook my hand and left.

 

Weird that they are looking for specific ethnicities, would that be almost racist ?

Did you tip off any Samoans in the neighbourhood?

The witnesses may be around your area for a few days. Ask them if you see them.

Not weird at all, it's targeted marketing campaign to maximise conversion.

This technique would strike gold in Apia.

They have been set a challenge. The Witnesses are one of the smallest congregations in Samoa.
