Have you noticed that certain months are pioneer months? Of course, the months of March, April, and May are always pioneer months because of the Crapmorial. Those are the months that they push everyone to pioneer, and just about say that everyone must pioneer.
Notably, there are other months. Every time a month has five Saturdays, five Sundays, or five of each, there is a Kingdumb Misery writeup urging everyone to pioneer those months. I remember 1989, when there was a writeup that September had five Saturdays and that everyone should pioneer (you will have to explain to Jehovah why you didn't pioneer when there were five Saturdays in the month). The very next month, there were five Sundays and they repeated the "Everyone Must Pioneer" story where anyone not pioneering when there were five Sundays in the month would have a difficult accounting to Jehovah to render.
They have done this every time there were five Saturdays, five Sundays, or five of each. This year, there are five full weekends in September and December, prompting the call for everyone to pioneer. Next year, March, August, and November have five full weekends; May has five Saturdays, and June has five Sundays in it. For sure, the Puketower is going to come up with a plea for everyone to pioneer all those months in the Kingdumb Misery or in the Kool-Aid Puketowers (likely in the Kingdumb Misery, since this is usually discussed in the Circus Meeting).
What they do not account for is that not everyone has weekends off. Most of the Witlesses actually have to work Saturdays and/or Sundays on a regular basis. Those people will not be able to spend extra time in field circus just because there are five weekends in a given month. They might have Tuesday and Thursday off because of the boasting sessions, and there is never a plea that there are five Tuesdays or five Thursdays (or on rare occasion, five of both) in a month.
Additionally, they do not account for the math. A person to pioneer (remember, this was when it was 60 hours a month) would have only been able to do it just because of the five full weekends if they were getting something like 48 hours in a regular month. The five Saturday pioneers would need to get 52 hours in a regular month; the five Sunday pioneer, 56 hours, in order to be able to make it without extra effort like the Tower claims. Most people get far less than that. I would, for a time, get 2 hours on Saturday and 1 on Sunday; this made 12 hours per month. If there are five full weekends, that added up to 15. Like most publishers, I could not without undue cost adjust my schedule so I could get out for 8 hours every Saturday and 4 every Sunday (which would be necessary for even the five full weekends to work).
This year, if they tell us that everyone must pioneer because there are five full weekends, five Saturdays, and/or five Sundays, they can take it and shove it. My "pioneering" is to post on this forum, and I don't think they are going to like what I am going to post here. The last I saw, there is no requirements on how many posts per month it takes to be a "pioneer". But I am sure it's a lot easier to make 60 posts per month, even one with only four Saturdays and four Sundays (and 28 total days) than it is to make 60 (or even 50) hours of field circus on a month with five full weekends and 31 total days. Instead of pioneering, I intend to become a Emperor Class member before my one-year anniversary and Supreme One class within 3 total years.
