    Every social group develops their own codes to identify themselves with that group.This is part of the study of semiotics.
    Jws have many code .Then there are semiotics for apostates. I'll start the lists. I'd appreciate help finishing these lists.

    Yes there are signals other than words that you are a JW or and Apostate such as

    JW

    shaving beard(a sure sign he's getting the program)
    buying a 4 door car

    Apostates

    Tattoos
    body piercings
    christmas tree

    you all finish the lists. I love semiotics.

    J's: A disapproving look, raised eyebrows, a slight shake of the head and a deep sigh when you notice something that is obviously not "theocratic", i.e., spike heels, short skirt.

    Apostate: A look of sheer glee, a slight drool, a nodding of the head and loud wolf whistles when you notice something that is obviously not "theocratic" but you don't care anymore, i.e., spike heel, short skirt.

    There are only two Laws ...

    JW: Submit to the Conscience of the Governing Body

    Ex-JW: Submit to your own individual conscience

    True but how are these signals with in a social group. Can you think of more specific signals of conduct for apostates and Jws.
