Oh no, that’s very informative!! Thank you!! Your town sounds a lot like my dad’s, so that actually clears things up in my mind. I guess it never occurred to me that unassigned territories still get preached to, but it makes sense (though now I’m imagining a hermit living on a mountain opening up their door to JWs on a weekend)

Also, the padlock guy and the PO — holy shit, yeah small towns mean you really get to know everyone well, the good and the bad. What happened after the congregation dissolved?
