Just had a visit from the local JWs. Definitely one of the less annoying types of proselytiser.
I had them not long ago. They started debating me on something but as soon as I said "look, you're trespassing" they up and left. They younger lass tried to continue but the older guy was all nah we really gotta go.
When I was in Perth last October, my partner and I were waiting in the car, in the carpark, and we saw and were approached by American Mormons on a mission lol. They tried to convert us, we politely declined and they left. They were two young women, maybe barely 18-21?, and there was an older man close by keeping an eye on them, I assume like a chaperone.
It was very strange. I didn't think they came to Australia, I thought their missions usually involved going to the global south, not the actual south lol
Nice people, terrible organisation.
