I was a member of the Dead Beat Club. I did aux. pioneer once, but it almost killed me and really, after that, my health has never been the same. Yeah, I was a Dead Beat, struggling to get in the average publisher hours. We finally started calling ourselves the Dead Beat Club after our punk PO said average hours, "Them's garbage hours." And people putting in those kinds of hours are nothing but dead beats. We took the B-52's song for our anthem.

Aux Pioneering on and off (mostly off)
Public reader of the WT on Sundays. (is that the right terminology?)
In charge of the sound system and making sure we had the right song on the record player at the meetings.
Never did become a MS. They didn't like me being different in my thinking and attitude. In other words, I was not a hipocrite and voiced my oppinion when they could not show love or tenderness to others.

Account servant for a long long time Elder 3 years. Did talks, never did the TMS. Read the Wt. Conducted and assisted the BS. Declined the privilege of mike carrier. I had a very minor part of one quick build - I did garbage detail.
"vacation" pioneered a long time ago. Gave a very small part at the DC.

Never made MS, (could not play by the minimum hour requirement rules), but held several MS responsibilites, such as WT reader, Territory servant, etc.
Also did quick builds for several years, (telephony and PA systems).
PBX, (telecom) "key man", (what the hell is a key man?), at DCs.
