The cousin idea sounds like a good one to I've used something similar before at the malls but instead of cousin I used "son in law" and then went on to relate what I thought didn't make sense about his claim that they were the only true religion and every body else was going to be destroyed.
PS: I don't think the WT should encourage setting up those booths inside malls, they are easy pickins for apostates. And even if they know you are DF'd they can't shun you there.
I was thinking you could even use this disguise at thier regular meetings, and if you play dumb enough you can even raise your hand and give interesting thought provoking,, but innocent appearing comments to make dubs think and even have a good laugh all the while reeling them in like a fish on the line. But you have to act kind of dense and innocently honest,, and they will let you get away with it. Sorta like the TV detective "Columbo" with rythms with dumbo, which is close to dumb. At a meeting you could raise your hand for a question on DF'n and say innocently: I don't know if this is the only true religion like everybody is saying, and I could be wrong, but didn't Jesus say that we wern't suppose to judge people? So I don't think it is right that we should shun anybody, and we should try our best to be kind and good and loving, I think that far better that treating people like dirt and shunning them. And no doubt the elders would kindly try to readjust you,, and that's where you can play dumb and innocent somemore.
Keep it simple. A complicated deception/story is too hard to keep straight or sound real.
I like Elsewhere's about just writing a paper on JWs.
Don't connect yourself with any real or imaginary JW. JWs know of JWs everywhere even across the country.
Just say you read the info in the paper and came out of curiosity.
Don't talk too much and use JW buzzwords and given yourself away.
Don't encourage them to have someone help you if you just want to listen uninterrupted (or want to drop off any information in locations).

I still don't think the "relative" or "friend" idea will work very well if you start talking to the JWs. There is a very good chance that they will want names and congregations so they can verify what you are saying. This is why I prefer to go in as a "student writer" or someone doing a research paper on JWs.
On the other hand... if you know a JW who is currently in and you want to make trouble for them, you can do one of two things:
Blond,
I think it is good if you work out the bugs to your story and have a good base from which you have anticipated. The fact that you are dating a fornicating pioneer who will get mad at you for revealing her name or where abouts should be enought to keep them interested and when they pry you just tell them I'd better not say she will get mad.
Else,
I think with your personality, that would work better for you, I'm used to playing dumb,, I've used it over and over because it causes people to disarm themselves, and not feel very threaten around you. But please keep the suggestions comming gives me more to pick from. And if you see a obvious whole in my story point it out, that way I can improve on it.
Blond,
Don't talk too much and use JW buzzwords and given yourself away.
Good point, if I mention them it will be for clearification of meaning from them. Like what does "worldly" mean and what this "faithful and discriminate bible slave"
Don't encourage them to have someone help you if you just want to listen uninterrupted (or want to drop off any information in locations).
Yeah that what I was thinking, that's why I would play a rather casually interested person, who is sorta nieve but not afraid to say:"hey back off budd!" in a nice innocent jovial type of way.
Else,
I would never do it,,, well probably never do it,, but if you go to 2 different conventions you can get the the names and congregations from a sisters lapel cards and write them down and when the elder ask you give the name of the sister your'e boinking tell them one of these, that would be hilarious. But It is too evil for me to do but it sure would be embarasing for that elder, who reported her to body of elders. But that's too cruel and mean to any sister to have to go thru that and I would never be able to forgive myself if I did something like that, but it does provoke humour thinking about it..
Well I've thought about some undercover work at the convention this year, and it sounds like fun. I could do all kinds of things. So I guess its a toss up between picketing and undercover work-LOL
You're giving me some ideas--I hate seeing the JWs at the malls with their stupid little table of magazines. I made up my own tract already--I think I'll give them one but tell them someone outside is handing them out. Hee Hee Then watch them looking around for those evil apostates!
love2bworldly, that is a great idea, and sure to keep them busy trying to spot the Apostate. I must say I have never seen JW's set up a table at a mall or anywhere else for that matter, just the regular run of the mill door to door and occasionally street corners, but if I ever do encounter them-then let the fun begin-LOL
