A pioneer is not someone is more spiritual then the average publisher, they just have more time they can devote for service. Some may be more spiritual but that doesnt not mean every pioneer is super spirtual. And also just because you dont comment to me doesnt mean you are any less spirtual either.
i dont agree with that completely, because i'm sure that there are pioneers out there that have the same circumstances as i do, and they are still out there putting in 70+ hours a month. so while i do agree that a pioneer is not necisarily more spiritual, i dont think it has anything to do with having lots of free time, because most pioneers have to bust their butts.
Its there choice to do that though, some do have alot more time then others and some sqeak by gettin the time while goin to school and work.
yea.. but there are those who do EVERYTHING work go to school AND get their hours... i am a pioneer... and i really dont work full time.. i mean... technically i only work 18 hrs a week and my first job and between 5 to 20 hours a week at my other one. And i can hardly keep up with everything. And i find it VERY hard to keep positive in the service and at the meetings... but there are those that REALLY do a GOOD job... and are out WAAY more then me.. and those brothers and sisters really show spirituality. But i think people tend to throw things out as more of a title then a responsibility. Cause thats what it is.. it doesnt mean u are any better then those that arent elders or pioneers, all of us have to worry about doing OUR utmost in service... i dont think ANY of us have the TIME to worry about others, so let it be... worry about ourselves... and let those others worry about their own relationship with jehovah.
