    I do remember those, but it was discontinued because congregations were comparing themselves with other congregations as if it were a competition..

    When this was done, jws were given a quota of 10 hours per month minimum to meet. (Thus the carryover that potential elders/ms must put ten hours/month in. The WTS dropped the quota because jws would just do enough to meet the 10 hours, and then do other things with their time. The WTS decided that members should put in more time "if able" and stopped using that chart.

    How well I remember that chart! That was really a long time ago.

    Probably over 50 years ago.

    Discontinued about the time the Elder arrangement came in.

    10 hours, one “bible study”, 12 magazines per month, so many books and so many “back calls” - or else you received The Pineapple.
