    The idea of a faux WT trolley suddenly appealed to me , if it had facimile copies of some of the striking covers from the past - " It's later than you think" .." Time running out for this generation" etc , all from the distant past and some internet prints of the articles that embarrass them - they might talk to you thinking you are one of them , then let them read what the Borg has said.....At least that would be different! let them be damned from their own mouth .

    If you do it at Twickenham , I would love to join you but I will be attending to accompany dub family .....

    Do it if it feeds you. You can't change anyone unless they are ready to be changed. You never know. You have to heal yourself. So don't dwell on this crap.

    If you want to make an impact maybe posting a bunch of those 1 foot x 2 foot concert style posters around the convention center would accomplish something.

    If you just want to experience it then I say go for it but I don’t think protesters have much impact. Dubs are trained to look away fast.

    I saw a post a while ago about a Mormon throwing the JW’s protest about the Mormon leadership back in their face since theirs isn’t much different.

    Maybe you could pretend to be Mormon or some other religion and hold up signs highlighting things those religions do that the dubs would complain about but that they actually do too.

    Maybe they wouldn’t be so averse to stuff it it wasn’t specifically “apostate”.

    The benefits of picketing are primarily for picketers. So, if it builds up your own determination to keep making something meaningful and worthy of your life, go to it. But if you've gone from trying to win converts for the organisation to trying to win converts to listen and leave....ahhhh, I'd think you're just doing more of the same...but have "only" switched sides.

    Placards:

    Effective placards would make a characature of JW dogma:

    "Don't talk to your df'd children!"

    "Father's day is evil!"

    "Don't go to university!!!"

    "1 generation + 1 generation = 1 generation!"

    I would love to where placards like these.
