Question :
Why is 'pioneering' a 'privilege' when every JW goes out in ministry anyway. Even those who have lost privileges, or been disciplined, or been reinstated after being disfellowshipped are still expected to go out in the ministry. These ones could do the 60, 70, or 90hrs per month if they so wished. So, why do you need to be 'exemplary' to be a pioneer ? Why are requirements needed in order to make it 'official' or to have the 'title' of 'pioneer'. Even if you are removed from being a pioneer, and are shamed in the process, you are still expected to go out in the ministry.........just without the title ....... so whats the difference?
