Has anyone worked out recently how many hours of door-to-door work is being done in the U.S. per new convert? I've seen this figure before, and would like to use it in a little essay I'm writing.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Well, if you factor in the 9 months of pregnancy, then the 12 or 13 years of raising the child, this has to really shew the numbers (between 113,000 and 114,000 hours). Plus if you factor in the ones that leave,(-113,000 or 114,000 hours) for every one raised a dud. So you need to find the ratio of "truth babies" to worldy converts, factor in the ones that leave, account for the phantom hours and the coffee breaks....er....how many giga-bites do you have on your hard drive?
What I want to know is, How many coffee beans does it take to keep the JW's in service each day? Maverick

AS we see, determination of JW productivity is a simple matter of dividing the number of hours by the baptism figures for the period in question; asa matter of historical persepctive, it's interesting to track this back one or two decades, and it will be seen that the number continues to grow.
