In the 1980's I worked 11am to 4pm every day and regular auxiliary pioneered - 60 hrs a month.
I started my ministry at 6am, doing street work to try and get my hours in before work.
I got no praise, thanks or recognition with those awkward hours.
Instead, EVERYONE quizzed me aggressively about why I wasn't a REGULAR pioneer doing 90 hrs a month!!
Back then, you could NEVER do enough.
Now, I very rarely, if ever see any local witnesses near me on the ministry, or even setting up any jw carts any more!
