I did, I did, Pratt1!!!
A couple of months ago, while doing field service, this reg pioneer sister was going on an on about how joyous it was for her to take the lead in doing Jehovah's work and exploring the territories, blah, blah, blah.... Then there was this pregnant pause in which no one said a thing. I then proceeded to express that it was all a waste of time to me, and that is why I couldn't bare to put in more than just a couple of hours a month without going crazy. I said that Jehovah, the reader of hearts and minds, should direct us to the deserving and longing people so that we's stop feeling like this going around was just a big waste of our time and personal resources.
OMG!!! You should've seen the faces drop and the disapproving looks I got; although a couple had a smirk on their faces as if I just conveyed their feelings exactly.
After that little encounter, not only does the sister not go in the preaching group I attend (not that I attend a whole lot either), but she and the others that gave me the 'how dare you' look avoid me like the plague!!! GOOD!
I was expecting some elders' visit after it, but it hasn't happened yet. I don't feel it will because they know that's how many feel about the wasted time we spend in field service, and resources too now with the gasoline being so expensive.
It felt so good to say exactly what I meant.
