Was the preaching time of Rutherford zero?

    In my memory, probably, Rutherford did not preach (from house to house) at all.
    Therefore, logically, his "preaching time" was zero.

    Although I know that, I want to know that evidence now.

    Well, in my memory, I assume that Mr. Raymond Franz has stated about this.
    And, possibly, he had said about also the members of the Governing Body.

    If you know that, please tell me the page of the books written by Mr. Raymond Franz.

    Or has it written in other books?
    Thanks.

    I would suggest it is impossible to know regarding Rutherfords 'time'.

    But those of the current Gb did their time as missionary's and COs, DOs before getting the top jobs.

    As for do they go door to door, i would say no way!

    Shit, they let hank marvin off the hook so why not themselves...

    Well, it is written in a WTS's publication like this.

    *** jv chap. 17 p. 260 Conventions Proof of Our Brotherhood ***
    Four days later, while the convention was still in session, Brother Rutherford personally shared with other conventioners as they engaged in the work of Kingdom proclamation from house to house in the area within 45 miles [72 km] of the convention site.

    Probably, this is the only description which has said that Rutherford preached.
    Although I saw a comment about this somewhere before, I cannot find it.

    In my memory, Rutherford did not enough preach even that time.

    maybe that's the old time equivalent of the picture of Sam Herd in the wt going 'door to door'

    there is no way the JWs can verify it, so they believe it.

    Elders, C.O's, and the rest of the bunch get to count their time delivering talks. So it would not be zero.

    I am pretty sure the obsessive time-counting really came in Knorr's era anyway.

    Thanks.
    But, I know well about that.

    Therefore, people who are working in Bethel have counted the time of that.
    And in this standpoint, Rutherford wrote books, and made disk records, and did lectures.

    Of course, I am not asking such a thing.

    The important thing is whether they/GB/Rutherford are preaching (from house to house).
