We need a secret hand signal! (page 2)

DJK

Having a familiararity (for at least one person) with a potential Assembly arena might help. Set up a time and meeting point to introduce ourselves. In that area, give the predetermined signal.

Anyone going to Dayton,Ohio on 7/13 ? I can't whistle so that won't work for all of us. Maybe just a dog- eared corner on our lapel card at the top of the "t" in "Follow the Christ". And a place to meet at lunch if only to nod,

The dog eared corner on the lappel... That's a terrific idea! Too bad I'm not in the States. Even if I was... I usually forget my badge at home (subconciously?)

I'm just picturing this fine, family-friendly, District Convention Kodak Moment:

Wifey of Open Mind: "Honey, what's that you're doing with your hands?"

Open Mind: (Trying to be all Snoop Dogg-ish) "Say wha'?"

Kids of Open Mind: "DAAAAAD!!! You're embarrasing us!! Nerdy white dads aren't supposed to try being all homey throwin' down gang sign! Puuuhhhleeezze!!

Mom!! Do we have to sit with him during the afternoon? "

I'll stop there. I think I'm embarrasing myself even by JWD standards.

So do I. It's probably the only thing that would make me remember to bring that stupid thing. I personally loved the scarlet letter idea but I'm not ready to be so bold as I am still undercover.What I think would be simply HYSTERICAL would be for us all to set our alarms on our cell phones for exactly the same time. Can you picture in your mind's eye the bewildered looks on all their faces as we all grabbed our phones and ran out into the hallways ?

How about draw a cross on your lapel? That would surely do it.

The corner of the lapel is really a good idea but not all apostates can get a lapel badge. You could "loose" your badge and pen a card with your name written on it with a red marker and cong.

How about you all leave your tag out of your shirt/dress in the back. Then you could laugh when someone offered to stick it back in for you and you could say, "no, I wanted it like that."

I should add -- Everyone knows I'm an "apostate" here. Everyone is still talking about it so I hear. I think it would be so funny to go and hug people I knew all those years .. and see them freak out. Then other people would see them freak out and they would wonder what was wrong with the JW for being rude to me .. LOL.....

Not all apostates are christian, so a cross might not be appropriate for everyone...good idea though.

It is true that not all of us could get a lapel badge,

I know I couldn't.

I'll come nicely dressed as a non-JW interested person.. and desguise myself so no one will recognise me.

All great suggestions.
