Lloyd coined the phrase "aggressive activism" and included public protests in this term. He did this to distinguish his type of activism as being acceptable as opposed to actions of other JWs as being unacceptable. However, what he is doing as opposed to other activists fall under the same definition
Activism? Lloyd Evans doesn't look very "active". I think it's an excuse to sit on his bum being a keyboard warrior.
When I was young we used to call it being a "protestor". It was something you did because Hou felt passionate about something and never involved financial gain - in fact usually involved a loss.
Some protests have been incredibly successful. Against apartheid, for instance. Against huge companies polluting the environment or dumping waste chemicals which cause deformaties in newborns.
Most effective campaigns involve a combination of written documents - such as petitions - and activities requiring a physical presence - such as marches or, for example, picketing the South African embassy.
Lloyd labeling protests as aggressive/regressive was just another attempt to shut down the competition. Grotesque.
