But Blondie there are ways around that. Realize that the elders are under tremendous pressure, espeically from the COs, to keep their stats up. My wife hasn't been out in service in almost a year and yet an elder called (a week before the CO's visit) and asked her if she had been out in service. when the answer came no, he said, "Oh but you've studies with your kids right?" Yes. "Well then that's 4 hours right there." If there were such a thing as anonymous time, you would see the hours printed in January 1 Watchower be 1/10 of what they are now. These numbers are so bogus is it is unreal.
