Quite a number of prominent people heard the Kingdom message from the late Theodore Nunes, a merchant tailor who had many of those of the upper class among his clientele. He was very zealous and made sure that all of his customers received the Kingdom message in the process of having their suits fitted. Many pieces of literature were placed in this way.

An item about Brother Nunes’ zeal in preaching appeared in the local daily newspaper The Gleaner of June 5, 1980. It told of his being called by the then colonial governor of Jamaica, Sir Edward Denham, to fit a suit for David Lloyd George, the former prime minister of England (1916-22), who was visiting the island. Brother Nunes seized the opportunity to tell him that God’s Kingdom was the only hope for distressed mankind. Lloyd George agreed with Brother Nunes and added that the world “will never get on an even keel again.” At this the former prime minister was asked why he did not then tell the people of England that the Kingdom of God is man’s only hope. Lloyd George responded that the people “do not want to hear it”! Surely, this is just as it was foretold​—that people would “turn their ears away” from hearing God’s truth, preferring “false stories” instead.​—2 Tim. 4:4.
