I believe the John 3:16 signs were started by the fans of Stone Cold Steve Austin. He is a wrestler, although I don't know the reason why this scripture was chosen. Basically, Steve Austin's character is a total rebel and bad ass. Anyway, that's what I have been told about the signs.
ARE YOU INTERESTED?

Actually Stave Austin was making a parody of something started a long time ago.

Hi D8TA,
OK, I'm a wet blanket.
What would be accomplished by this?
Do you think ANY JW who sees this will go, "Hmmmmm... you know, those apostates just might have a POINT!"
Yeah, it would be funny, and I can understand the rush of guerilla street theater.
Personally, I would prefer to have tapes of the talks and copies of the new releases. Years ago I derived some real catharsis from burning LOTS of WTS books, now I wish I had 'em to scan for reference and posterity, and I have no contacts "on the inside."
What I also find odd aboout my take on this is that when you posted your message about your conversation with your friend and how somehow she non-verbally communicated a less adversarial stance to you, I though, "Oh, too bad. He won't be as much fun anymore." and now I'm suggesting that the wig thing and JOHN 3:16 might be unproductive. (Besides, I always liked MORONS 3:16 better).
Love good, and do as thou wilt.

I don't really understand why newbies can't help out. I would love to help. Oh well.

D8TA - why not hold a sign that says "Pedophile Paradise" on it? And yeh, why no newbies? Also- are you getting someone to take pics of you? (ya gotta do that!)
Wished I lived nearby - I'd be there.

Your contemplated action reminds me of what someone (reliable source, name will be provided if need be.) told me of an incident that took place some decades ago in the Canary Islands. I may have posted this last year on this board, but can't remember.
Dietlieb Felderer was a dissident JW, I believe from Sweden, who is renowned for his research about the Holocaust, in which he disputes much of the Societies claims about JWs in Nazi concentration camps. He was disfellowshipped for it and also Jewish organizations were on his case.
If you look up his name in a search engine, you will find many references about him. One site: http://revisionists.com/revisionists/felderer.html gives some of his biography
Now for the story. After he was disfellowshipped he spent some time on the Canary Islands. The WT had a district assembly there and he picketed and passed out pamphlets starting from the first day. Each day the Witnesses became more and more hostile, and by Saturday it came to scuffle and fisticuffs. The Police were called, and hauled him in for interrogation. He was told the Witnesses have a permit to have their assembly. He asked if he could see it. The permit authorizor was called in and it was found out there was no permit issued. So Dielieb asked, how much a permit costs. He was told it the amount, not much, about one hundred dollars. So, Dielieb paid a hundred dollars for a permit for Sunday, and on that day showed up and picketed again. It ended up the Witnesses had to move their assembly for that day, because Dietlieb had the permit for the premises.
Now, according to your post, it seems you have covered your bases. However, it seems to me, that you have revealed too much info. The various conventions are going to be on the look out, check legallity of your projected actions etc. Make sure you sit, in the middle of a long row of people where they can't get at you easily. One thing your post may do; verify whethe Brooklyn reads what is written on this discussion board.
Maybe you could use another text or subject, the one you have chosen has been worked to death, somewhat like Math 24:14
The name of the person who told me this story is a lawyer, who testified at one point in a case that also included testimony from Dietlieb Felderer. If you want to verify it, e-mail me and I can give you further details. This person, one time while picketing Brooklyn Bethel, tripped Brother Bert Shroeder's big afro body guard who was trying to get between him and Bert, while they were walking from Bethel to one of the factory buildings.
One
I wish you success, gives the Jaydubs something to talk about.

hi d8ta,
you really need to get someone to camcord the whole thing inconspicuosly........ because ....... the jw security get violent fast.....then they lie to the police....... and all the good little jws cooperate with the leadership, and deny what really happened.
also their should be more than one person camcording it, cause they will try to take away the camcorder..
i suggest a different scpriture,(matt 24:24) and drop the wig.......be respectable......... you can nail them good!
or hold up a sign about pedophiles and 2 witnesses..... then later, after they attack you and violently throw you out, call you local newspapers, with the camcorder tapes.
if you get the whole thing on tape, you can sue them and make them pay for damages.
