As with everything promoted by Lee and Company, either you were completely on board, or you were a dismal failure, and probably "harboring secret rebellions in your heart." Personally, I found my time valuable whenever I went door-to-door with others. It is actually spiritually healthy to be challenged like that in the Lord -- lose your face for the Gospel, open your mouth to speak for the Lord, meet new people, help others overcome their fears, etc. Had Lee made the program optional, it might have had more lasting value. Instead of being "THE" way, it should have only been "A" way to share the gospel.
