NeonMadman,
I had to laugh about yours experience. There was a 20 year old pioneer brother who was always eager to take my sons out in the door to door work. Well I was suspicious of him but he proved harmless thank goodness. Well what it turned out to be is he wanted to have fun, so he would take them to malls or Walmart shopping and let them buy toys or something with the money I gave them. Or he would take them for ice cream, or just killing time riding around pretending to do return visits between breaks. Well my sons then 13,10,8 thought this was great fun. Said that was the best times they ever had in field service. Even now their grown they talk about the fun times with David. No he never laid a hand on them, he was just trying to pretend to pioneer to keep up apprearences. He said the adults were just too boring to go out with. They also would visit his worldly friends and their families under the pretence of preaching. When their Dad or I went it was not as fun, but David would try to add a little fun to it for the boys. The kids in the congregations loved him, he was just a kid at heart
Actually it was this odd pioneer that introduced my oldest son the the first girl my son had crush on and she was a worldly girl. It was one of many small steps out of the witnesses. Funny thing is my sons and I are out, but he is still in. Still looking for a simi JW wife. He is a bit odd, but nice guy. David had others go with them that didn't mind the goofing off, usually other teens who were Aux. pioneering for the summer. But he was selective in who he let in on his little secret pioneer trips. They would go out spend all day and perhaps only spend one hour preaching. They even went to a carnival one time, counted time they gave magazines to the people working in it. I once talked to him about it, but didn't have the heart to tell the Elders, my kids liked him so much. Hey counting say 8 hrs and only doing 1 hrs of preaching wasn't bad idea. LOL
