    Watchtower Free, can you post the badge with the more humorous labels? It was a hoot.

    Yes thank you for that cautious advice. We wondered about attendants. Also CCTV? I remember there were always car park guards so leafleting cars would be impossible (and a waste of peaflets i would suggest, as I NEVER read a leaflet left on my sindscreen).

    I did wonder about leafeting the surrounding area - e.g the shops and restaurants that everyone floods to after the sessions.

    To be honest, we are just going to suck it and see. It might be that we get there and realise there are no discreet opportunities to do anything. Or it might be that by going we see an opportunity we had never thought of. I think the thing is to make a start and see. Without getting arrested!

    Business cards printed on both sides are effective. They can be slipped in the boxes in a proper sized piece of paper resembling a personal check. The money is sorted by 200-300 people 3 times a day. They read notes and filter out business cards. So a handful will see what the card has to say. Business cards can also be left on countertops.

    Right, I didnt know so many people were involved in the money counting. Good point.

    Yeah the idea is get the money sorted, counted and banded and delivered to the bank within 20 minutes so nobody has to miss too much of the program. Each time at least a dozen letters are filtered out, usually a heartfelt story of how the donation is all they could come up with. The sorter may read them but the eagle eye attendants watching generally snatch them up and toss them in a heartbeat.

    I am going to get my stickers printed onto HIGH STICK paper, so that they are all but impossible to remove, and my aim is to get them on all the donation boxes, whichwould effectively put the boxes out of action. :-)

    Placing stickers on the back of the stall doors in the mens and womens restrooms would be easy enough to do and would give lots of people a chance to read them in private before they were covered up. You could go back every few hours and replace them on some other part of the door or stall wall if they were taken down. Of course now that you've mentioned this here, they'll be a directive to be on the lookout for such activity.

    Can an interested non-JW attend these events or are they JW only?

    You could also do just a QR code to a website like this one, with an offer, question, or funny heading. Then they would have a tech link too other than just a thought, if just that maybe a catchy phrase. You probably wont need their bible, I don't want to bring it and I'll be an attendant, few will be caring them around. Probably many will use tablets or the like.

    Perhaps you could also get there early with posters for the perimeter of the grounds.

    It would be interesting to have an ad hanging from the ceiling. Thank you for your effort in awakening them.

    WIT?
