The June '96 Kingdom Ministry instructed JWs to conduct the study as follows:
"Stick closely to the printed information in the Knowledge book. Introducing extra details could detract from or obscure the main points and protract the study. (John 16:12) If a question that does not pertain to the subject being studied is raised, in most cases you could address it at the end of the session. This will allow you to cover the week's lesson without getting sidetracked. Explain to the student that eventually most of his personal questions will be answered through the course of the study."
Hope that helps give you an idea of why your study went the way it did. (It's also because most JWs wouldn't know
what real Bible research material looks like.)
