I was thinking of that or maybe a cardboard kid in a suit to make them less threatening when there's no kid around to use as a prop?

This so-called "question" is unfunny bigotry. Interestingly, such "hatred" should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:

(John 15:19) If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.

(Luke 6:22) Happy are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and reproach you and cast out your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.

(1 Peter 4:4) Because you do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of you.

(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

It seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:

(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.

I assume you are intimidated by kids?

Yes, kids over the age of 12, do wear suits. Not necessarily new suits, as they grow out of them quickly. When I was 12, I received a new suit, pin stripped, double breasted, from my non-witness grandmother. I guess she thought it would irritate them. I wore it for less than six months before I grew out of it. From me it went to a friend, who had for another few months, than to another friend, who wore it for a few months. From there it went to another congregation. Those two friends were three inches taller than me by the time we reached 18.

One thing you don't see in the Kingdom Halls is $1000+ suits. When the Baptist had their convention here, one of the retail vendors for the church had some suits stolen worth $2000 each. It really hurt their bottom line for the conference, as it was the last 20 suits brought to the conference. They had already sold all the others. Talk about being elite attendees.

Watch the video called "The Good Book."
It will give you so many ideas.

P.S. Jehovah's Witnesses don't exchange gifts for Christmas or birthdays or any celebrations. I don't know why, I guess because they suck.
