I guess one way is to watch and see if they are just looking round for much of the time, and paying little attention to what is being said from the platform.

I would say it's very difficult. If they are with family, they'll be going thru the motions of reading etc. Even if you saw someone looking at entertainment on their tablet, they still could consider themselves a good JW.
At the place where I work, except for the JW in the office wanting to tell everyone that the world is horrible, the other two - you wouldn't be able to guess that they are JW's. But they all consider themselves to be a "good" JW.
And of course, you have to be careful about approaching someone and hinting that you might not belong to the hive.

Sitting in a nearby burger place during the session, I met one last time. With something like, “the sessions are bit long and boring, huh?” as an opener. He told me I should check out the Cedars channel on YouTube. I said I am already familiar with that punk.

I think that is very difficult. All awaken person at the convention has a priority to pretend.
They will try their best to pretend.
Remember you need to pretend too!

That's pretty much most of the audience...

We are a secret society inside a semi-secret society so it's not an easy thing to spot. As a tip you can turn on your Bluetooth and rename it to "1914 is a lie". Several people will see it.

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho
@Ex_JWs Brazil That is incredible. I remember in the meetings I'd see people turn on something called "AirDrop" on their iPads. Instantly, you'll see a list of other iPads being used in that hall (eg: Carly's iPad, Barry's iPad, etc). This AirDrop feature apparently enables iPad users to wirelessly transmit files to one another from across the hall, if I understand it correctly. Why not rename yours to something like @Ex_JWs Brazil's suggestion and start wirelessly sending apostate material to any other iPads that appear on your AirDrop list? Maybe save some of the many PDFs on waking up Jehovah's Witnesses and use that as your go-to file? I don't think anyone can physically trace it back to your tablet!

I usually wait 15 minutes after the beginning, leave the convention hall to the closest coffee house. I have met eldumbs, piousneers, heck even a Bethellite doing that.
