Large group of people dressed like they're going to a funeral in the 1950's, all huddled around a 4-door car. Carrying bookbags. Looking grim and pointing up and down the street.

Cruzanheart:
You forgot: looking at bits of paper in their hands and pointing to the not at homes.

Being in a McDonald's mid-morning Saturday and seeing a group aged from 4 to 84 dressed as described above.

An excellent example cruzanheart, I don't believe I can top that one.
I would have said a group of men in cheap polyester suits carrying bookbags getting out of a cheap 4-door car on a 95 degree Saturday morning/afternoon to walk down the street VERY SLOWLY going door-to-door.
Or, some old fogies sitting at a table peddling magazines in front of a grocery store or at a strip mall.

LOL I didn't even realize cruzanheart said 4-door car! I was thinking the same thing subconsciously so I said that specifically because we all know JW's are admonished to get 4-door cars because 2 doors are "too sporty and selfish pride for attention" and 4 doors are betters suited for field service accomodations.
and LMAO at undercover! That is SOOOO true!
It is funny how the practices of Dubs are identical anywhere you go.

REBORN, going VERY SLOWLY is a prerequisite to presenting this life saving work. Almost every elder takes the lead in this activity.

Other "signs" of being a Witness...... sitting down for the National Anthem, not owning a pair of jeans and not owning casual clothing, having 15 suits or 50 dresses that are below the knee, drinking alcohol alot, always being depressed........Any more

Yes minimus.. I think we are all familiar with the "Pioneer Stroll"(TM)
It is funny in hindsight, to think that we actually walked slowly from door-to-door purposely to waste as much time as possible to fudge our field-service reports, thinking that an omnipotent God was concerned with how many hours (90 versus 89 to make the average lol) we put in this ridiculous magazine peddling activity.
