Hi
I was going to say Numbers, as in number of field sevice hours and number of meetings attended, but I think Reborn2002 hit it when he said "appearances" How you look to others means everything to JW's. It doesn't matter how shallow or insincere you are as long as you LOOK good to the elders et.al. I knew a long time pioneer who put in her hours and mag placements dutifully but would shrink back in horror if she ever was called on to conduct a study. Why? Because she knew nothing about the Bible or JW doctrine! Such shallow hypocricy!
