Over 5,000 JWs were serenaded by an Elvis impersonator singing Kingdom songs through microphone and amp as they exited the convention. It was impossible to get to your car without going within 20 feet from him. He would tell passers by to sing along saying, "I know you know the words!" A highlight was when he got down on his knees singing, "Hey there all you thirsty ones!" at the top of his Elvis-like voice. He would occasionally talk to the friends saying thigs like, "Hey, did you turn your time in yet? You know the brothers hate it when you wait until the last minute." The kids on a few occasions came up to him and talked to him much to the chagrin of their parents.

Sounds like an "apostate" protester with a bit of nous and flair - not the kind you can just blow off.
