Japan's been invaded...

...by the Jehovah's Witnesses. I'd heard from Tae that he'd had a run-in with them earlier, but I somehow didn't believe it. But sure enough, last night, some guy in a suit it knocking on my door, and not making the connection ("what's a Japanese businessman doing outside?") I open it. The guy gives me a confused look for a moment, not expecting an American, and asks in a stilted voice, "Do you speak English?" I say yes about the same time I recognize the JW setup. (Minus, oddly enough, the second guy to provide backup and a bit of extra pressure.) Well, the guy's English stunk, so I managed to dodge him by pretending not to have a clue what a JW was and repeatedly saying "But I'm already a Christian" and "But I'm already saved!" and so forth. He finally gave up, though he said he'd come back later with someone who spoke my language better (not sure if he'll follow through with that or not).

And yeah, Vic, that may seem a little hypocritical given our talk last night, but it was late and I wasn't in the mood to debate theology with someone given neither of us knew enough vocabulary for the other to understand.
