They are at the beach too. Looks really strange. Atleast the men are in short sleeves. Maybe they should put their tables of literature in the zoo. In front of the bats!! (that wasn't very nice) HAHA

Rather than get the bears in trouble and carted into the hinterland or worse yet, killed, why doesn't someone from that area apply for their own table and set out tasteful educational material about jws? I saw an ex-jw from this board (no longer posts) do that in a university setting. Rather than wasting energy and perhaps seen as petty, this person talked to many people, gave away lots of brochures, and the jws just folded up their table and disappeared.

Oh Blondie that sounds like so much fun. I just don't know if I have the cojones to do it by myself. I am part of an EX JW group that gets together each month maybe I could bring it up might be a fun group activity.

"Is there any reason to believe there will be attempts to disrupt, protest or prevent your event? If yes, please explain on a separate page. Y N"
This line from the form posted got my attention. Why is the National Parks system concerned about this - unless they don't want protesting right there - as a result of the group applying?
Maybe it would be something to 'protest' - or 'disrupt'.
