Picketing

Oh no without the picketer's I would never had the tract

"... "Oh no without the picketer's I would never had the tract..."
The people who handed you the tract were doing two things, carrying around signs and handing out leaflets. It wasn't the picketing that you paid attention to, it was the leaflet.
You can't say you would "never" have had the tract, you might have acquired the same information in some other way.
The fact that you made fun of the picketers but did accept a leaflet seems to support the notion that picketing is relatively ineffective, even offputting.

Either way it was the result of pro-active people.

But the topic is "picketing", eh?
Junction-Guy

right

Picketing may or may not be effective. If you can get media coverage, even better.
AnneB

Then it's the media coverage, not the picketing. Media coverage enhances all sorts of activities, even attendance at District Conventions.
Junction-Guy

right, we just have to counter it.
AnneB

Counter what, the attendance or the media coverage? Please elucidate.
Junction-Guy

Counter the JW media coverage.
