I called those “time machine tricks”.
One day it dawned on me that some pio’s were fabricating precious hrs in the ministry. I stopped - It all seemed so pointless as I realized they were unproductive in their “ministries”.
Somehow they managed their personal self esteem in being called pioneers. In reality, they were sad people and impressed no one. All were uneducated, shallow, and pitiable. It still makes me sad thinking about it.
