DAVEH: Which is why I am surprised at the length/depth some protesters will go to humiliate those they intend to convert. I've never understood that mentality. Do such methods really work in any small measure at all? I can only think they may occasionally gain a convert, but it sure seems to me that it is the wrong method of doing it. For all the effort some protesters put into it, I would think they turn off far more people than they convert. But, that is just the opinion of an outsider. How about some of you street preachers who are closer to the action.......Do such tactics pay off in the long run? > Grace and Peace, > Judy -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain Five email lists...
