Hiu Slip...: Yes, Elders do have Studies, most with their own families if they have children. I had studies when I was an Elder, and that was one way I was able to s-t-r-e-t-c-h my field service time ... just have a study that is sociable, and you can stay for coffee, pizza, and TV, and COUNT the time too! All in all, I brought 15 people into the Org. and now I have to help take 30 back out to pay my debt back to GAWD!. - Amazing
Do elders have Bible Studies?

Yes, the PO at my hall had several studies that resulted in new publishers/baptized Friends.
I turned over a male study -- a Christian college Greek prof -- to another elder (with the result that that elder left "the truth"!!!).
But the others are right that many of the elders have difficulty keeping up with their congregational duties and keeping their own families in line theocratically and so don't spend too much time worrying if they're making disciples elsewhere (as long as they get their hours in. )

Hello Slipnslidemaster,
not to upset you in anyway, but I can
give you my answer: Yes! Of course that does not mean that every
study eventually became a "dedicated baptized JW" but the effort
to "help" others was there.
Btw I do like you posts...and your comments.Agape, J.C.MacHislopp
P.S. ...nice profile picture!
