So I've been pondering that there must be quite a few active JWs out there who are conscious/awakened/lurking, but it's so risky to ask questions to find out they are. I'm sure this isn't anywhere in the Watchtower, but I've read that early Christians had the secret symbol of the fish to help identify friends, I.e. drawing a fish in the sand would secretly identify someone as being a Christian. So in looking at the new logo for AAWA, I was struck by the image of the dove flying away from the WT. What if you were sitting at a meeting and looking over, noticed that someone had drawn that same type of bird next to the watchtower logo on their magazine? Would it be a way to help secretly identify each other? It's still risky as I'm sure there are elders lurking who then might be looking for the accusing doodle, but if confronted, any evidence would be entirely circumstantial. But if you were able to catch someone's eye and have that moment of understanding, it would be worth the risk to me.

Brilliant.
Except if I attempted it, it'd probably look like a vicar on a flying bicycle.
I'm not a good drawer. Questions would be asked.

Granted, but it could even be the simplified version of a bird, like the cursive letter N. Haha- that could even figuratively show how far you've flown the coop!

I like this idea. I am lonely. I use an ipad though so no watchtower to draw on.
Lets reopen this discussion in the members area.... and come up with something easy to draw and easy to explain away....

SkyGreen- sounds good. Apparently, you can only post one new topic per day, so I will wait the requisite 24 hours and repost in the members only section, unless someone else wants to do it. I just thought it would be good to put in this section since not all lurkers become members.

Correct me on this if I'm wrong...but I was told that Gays
wear an earing in their ear ...never could remember which
ear tho ........so something like that or the red dot in the
forehead of south Asian women ... can't miss it

How about a certain colour tie pin or lapel pin!
Whoever comes up with a great simple idea ...
