When I was an elder, I commonly got in my ( required) minimum of ten hours a month. Typically, I put
in a lot of time door to door. Months would go by without ever opening a Bible in the door to door work.
People said "I'm not interested" and quickly closed the door.
Suppose we had a stopwatch to time the actual amount of time spent talking to people, with the
inevitable door closing. How much time would that be? I estimated less than 5 minutes per month.
There you have it. In Western nations, reported field service time is mostly imaginary - if not outrightly
bogus. Don't ever buy into the nonsense that Jehovah's Witnesses 'are the true religion' because of
their claims about a door to door "ministry" - that mainly, doesn't exist.
