I guess #6 is what I experienced.
I was pressured by my ex-pioneer wife to become a MS. The Elders and CO wanted me to get more than the national average in hours, which was around 10 at the time. They went so far as to actually say 13 or more hours for 6 months straight to show that "I'm serious minded about the ministry" and I would probably make MS. I eventually did.
I'm like Blondie also #1, I enjoyed talking to people. I tried to get the message and not the Mag's to the people. I wanted to find people to study with.
Good topic Ozzie Have a nice Day Mate!
