Active JW's - Do you see a CONTRADICTION here?

the bible says this - acts 17:11 “...for they [the beroeans] accepted the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.”.

km 9/07 p. 3 question box - does “the faithful and discreet slave” endorse independent groups of witnesses who meet together to engage in scriptural research...?.

and yet, in various parts of the world, a few associates of our organization have formed groups to do independent research on bible-related subjects... some have pursued an independent group study...so as to analyze the accuracy* of the new world translation... for those who wish to do extra bible study and research, we recommend that they explore insight on the scriptures, “all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial,” and our other publications...” .

Is this video about U.S. hospitals really true?

2. current
the reason i ask is that i got a call from a friend last week who had to go to one of the biggest hospitals in scotland because of an eye injury.. he said there wasn't one other single person seeking medical attention when he walked in - only medical staff standing around with nothing to do.

i was astounded, given the media reports.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=180&v=uzxhwyrkqtk&feature=emb_logo.

The virus and how it's affected life
by days of future passed in
1. social
2. current
since i've never lived in time with dire events, this virus and it's effects, has taken me by surprise.

not that i should be surprised by how people responded, but until you experience it first hand, you just don't get the scope of it all.. all the hoarding.

i've always taken things in a more rational way.

Covid 19 CENSORSHIP
by The Fall Guy in
1. social
2. current
if anyone voices an opinion with which i disagree or even detest, i can either debate it or walk away.. the last thing i want is for someone to be silenced by threats.

however, it appears that some opinions on social media etc.

which contradict the official narrative are being muted.

2. beliefs
not sure if this was covered as i could not find anything on it but talking to my son he tells me one of the gb had a talk telling them this is a sign of the last days.

have the jw's being pressured into talking to relatives and friends to bring them back into the fold before the end of the system blah blah blah?

the reason why i ask is my son was saying his mother has being on his case the last few weeks and then two days ago i got a telephone message from my sister, that hasn't spoke to me in 4 years, asking how i am doing.
