Typical Brother's Schedule
(Click the glossary link at left for definitions of Assembly terminology.)

This is the schedule of a brother living in a Brother's Training Home circa 1988. A detailed schedule was a requirement of everyone living in a Training Home. Typically it showed half hour increments. Some homes required them to be color coded.

This brother was a college graduate in his late twenties working a normal full-time job. The home he lived in probably had a few more stewardships than some, since there were two people in the home doing the modified Gerson cancer therapy, which required an extra refrigerator, a water distiller, etc. This brother was very responsible and did not accrue many "consequences", but otherwise this schedule is fairly typical.

Here is a key to the abbreviations: MT - morning time; ET - evening time; CS - chapter summary; PT - prayer tower; JHM - juvenile hall ministry. His "meeting with M" was an optional weekly meeting at his request with the head of the house for individual discipling. This brother was requesting to be allowed to drop the juvenile hall ministry in order to have more time to meditate to prepare for giving ministry and to have some time for physical exercise. The head of the home had to discuss this with the leader of the juvenile hall ministry and get that person's agreement before permission could be granted for this brother to drop out of the ministry.
