·         Participants in metropolitan public witnessing typically wait for individuals to approach the literature table or mobile display.

·         When approached, visitors are courteously invited to select any material that interests them.

·         Pioneers are prepared to answer questions using the Scriptures and offer thoughtful responses.

·         If a visitor accepts literature, the pioneers do not mention the donation arrangement. However, if an inquiry is made regarding funding, they may explain that donations can be sent to the address provided in the literature.

·         Whenever appropriate, pioneers may ask, "Would you like a home visit?" or "Did you know that a free Bible study is available with this publication?"

·The elders assess whether the congregation’s territory includes areas with high pedestrian traffic and determine the practicality of organizing public witnessing.

Potential locations for literature tables or mobile displays include:

·         Transportation hubs

·         Public squares

·         Parks

·         Busy streets

·         Shopping malls

·         College campuses

·         Airports

·         Sites of annual events

·         Publishers from neighboring congregations have sometimes conducted public witnessing in the same street, parking lot, or in front of the same businesses or transportation hubs.

·         Overlapping placement of literature, such as magazines, has occurred in shared locations like lobbies, waiting rooms, or laundromats, with multiple congregations occasionally preaching to the same businesses.

·         Such overlap can lead to business owners and local residents feeling overwhelmed, even if publishers are not present at the same time.

·         To avoid this, it is generally recommended that public witnessing activities remain within the congregation’s assigned territory.

·         If publishers wish to participate in public witnessing within a neighboring congregation’s territory, they should first consult their service overseer. The overseer will then contact the corresponding overseer of the neighboring congregation to request permission before proceeding.

·         In areas where congregations of different languages are assigned to the same region, service overseers should maintain communication to prevent unnecessary inconvenience to the community.

·         Effective cooperation ensures that all activities are conducted “decently and by arrangement.”
