    I'm Dutch and very non-religieus, but this is one of the sweetest things I've ever heard. So, you also taught me something: if people come knocking on my door for religious preaching (which in general displeases me), I will be kind next time, because who knows it might be someone as nice as you. Actually, living in the US was for me a bit of a similar experience as living in NL was for you. I really appreciated everyone I met there and I learned a lot.

    Hi, Dank je wel voor de complimenten over onze taal en cultuur.Toch zal ik als botte Nederlander willen zeggen dat ik het niet kan waarderen dat mensen aan de deur komen om me te willen bekeren tot hun geloof. Ik vind het zendelingenwerk bijzonder aanstootgevend omdat jullie niet accepteren dat mensen andere overtuigingen hebben dan die van jullie. Ik denk dat God het belangrijker vindt dat je een goed mens bent dan dat je naar een bepaalde kerk gaat en elke zondag bidt. Ik respecteer elk geloof dat liefde predikt en ik wil dat mensen mij respecteren zolang ik in liefde met mijn omgeving leef. En wens niet een religie opgedrongen te krijgen. Ik wens jullie het beste, en zou graag zien dat jullie stoppen met dat zendelingenwerk!

    Enjoyed your video very much. I am Dutch and you sounded like you were talking about me. I had a talk with a missionary like you about 60 years ago and I was very impressed, not pushy but very understanding of my feelings about the subject. About the names of the city's Den Haag used to be 'S-Gravenhage and before that, it was Des Graven Haag meaning the hedge of the Graaf (a Count I think). You see the city did not have City rights, therefore, it had no right to build a wall, so they planted a hedge. sHertogenbosh means the forest of the Hertog , You were right. Thanks again for your video. Maarten Jongebreur.
