You had a rare opportunity, Jay. Normally, they do not ask other people questions about bible. It has been my experience that they do all the bible discussion...to you and me.
They are really great people though.
They meet in homes and they do have a church hierarchy within. They have district elders who choose which person goes where.
Women may become workers. But the odd thing is that couples may not become workers. Their doctrine is that when Jesus sent the disciples out "two by two" to the cities. So...they send either two men or two women out to the cities two by two. Often there are not enough workers to come to every home church, so the married men may lead the bible study or the meeting in the home.
