Chernobyl Gets Religious (Door to Door)

That awkward moment when the Jehovah's Witness comes to your door, and tells you she is from Ukraine, without knowing you are obsessed with HBO's Chernobyl and she tries to tell you about her religion, but you keep asking her about Ukraine and Chernobyl and Chernobyl.

Will: 'What's your accent?'
JW: 'I am from Ukraine.'
Will: 'Have you seen HBO's Chernobyl.'
JW: 'Yes. Very scary. You know Eve bit the apple and we have suffered...'
'Will: 'What did you do when the accident happened.'
JW: 'Actually, my mother was from town of Chernobyl... and so God...'
Will: 'OMG! OMG! Was she evacuated?'
JW: [Says something unintelligible in Russian]

[Curses, no doubt-Ed]

JW: So have you thought about God's plan for...'
Will: Do you think the show accurately depicted life in the USSR?'
JW: '...you on this Earth....why no...Pripyat was beautiful, much like Garden of Eden...'
Will: You've been there?'
JW: 'Yes, and God says...'
Will: OMG! So you saw the actual Chernobyl plant?!' 

[He did the same thing to me when he found out I was from a city in the English coal ring. Winter of Discontent this, and Miner's Strike of '84 that, even though I'm not even real-Ed].

And so that nice woman from Ukraine endured our questioning. She had too. She's a Jehovah's Witness.
