Attack of the Mormons?

[silversolitaire]

Dad had a strange encounter of the third kind last Saturday. He was getting buns for breakfast and saw literally dozens of black-suited men with briefcases walking around in pairs. He was wondering if this was a funeral, but then thought the briefcases kinda would be out of place there. As he got home, one of the pairs had reached our street and approached him, asking him if he could spare a moment. He asked why and they simply repeated their question, so he kinda told them to beat it. He was quite confused about it and told us about it later. I then made the suggestion that it might have been mormons since that's exactly how they operate. But I'm not exactly sure either. Insights anyone?

The most confusing thing about this really is that I live in a village of perhaps 7k inhabitants. Why would they want to convert people here? Wouldn't a larger city be a lot more practical? o.o

Hmm. That does sound odd. Maybe they take it city by city? Maybe they were Jehova's Witnesses though it doesn't seem like it - they have lots of women and were less uniform clothes. Perhaps it was nothing religious at all - like an insurance company or something?
