The gentleman on the video said that they are forbidden to have personal bible studies or prayer meetings outside the normal meetings of the congregation. This seems to refer to Bible studies & prayer meetings where several families get together rather than personal study in ones own home by ones self.
Something made clear in the videos that might be pertinent as well. The rules vary from group to group so you may know someone who is in a group that allows this while the group these gentlemen are in might not allow it.
