Going along with these comments, I see little value in such JW demonstrations. JWD seems to be doing a great job---if you ask me!
Poll: Are You For Protests & Marches Against The Witnesses?

I remember in the early seventies there were picketeers at the YANKEE STADIUM District Conventions. It had no effect on us what so ever. I think the internet and this forum ( where there are many lurkers ) and some of the book publications by former witnesses do the job much much better. Face to face confrontations only ignite jw's to feel persecuted and to think of us as apostates.

Yes, Blue. I remember as a young boy in Yankee Stadium looking at these protesters with disdain and intrigue. I used to go to the public library, do my homework and look for forbidden "apostate" books-----just to see if they were filled with hatred as I had always been told. Little seeds were planted in Minimus' head.

When I moved to PA from NY. I went to the library, and lo and behold out here in the country they have both of Ray Franz's books and the Proclaimers book in the library. And they are dog eared, well used. Some people are getting the truth about the truth even out here in the quiet of the library. We have seen a sister and her little boy doing magazine work only once in a year and a half, having seen any other witnesses anywhere around here.

Witnesses at every corner is a thing of the past. They'd rather drive from house to house.

No, it would do little.
Bumper stickers would last longer and reach more people, and you don't need a permit.

The consensus is----it's not the preferred route to take. I'm a bit suprised.
