Back in the day it was tougher - when the school overseer marked your papers, the witlesses really had to think. I did a number of "Oral" reviews before exiting, they were just an opportunity to write my service meeting assignments.

When did the cult drop the "Written Review" in favor of the "Oral Review?"

I had forgot about the written review. It was every 3 months, right? Ugh. I can't imagine doing that now.

1. Why is the Bible book of Jeremiah beneficial
for us? [
Mar. 5, si p. 129 par. 36]
It shows us
that Jeremiah was fearless in proclaiming
an unpopular message to a godless
people, that he spurned fellowship with
the wicked, and that he appreciated the
urgency of Jehovah’s message. It also
shows how Jeremiah gave of himself to
Jehovah’s work wholeheartedly, never
quitting. He found God’s word to be like
a fire in his bones, and it was the exultation
and rejoicing of his heart.
( Jer.15:16, 17; 20:8, 9
)2. How might Jehovah deliver us from persecution
today? (Jer. 1:8) [
Mar. 5, w05
12/15
p. 23 par. 18]
Jehovah might raise up a
fair-minded judge like Gamaliel, or he
may see to it that a corrupt or antagonistic
official is unexpectedly replaced by a
more reasonable one. At times, though,
Jehovah may permit the persecution of
his people to run its course.
( 2 Tim. 3:12 )3. When and how did the anointed return
to “the roadways of long ago”? (Jer. 6:16)
[
Mar. 12, w05 11/1 p. 24 par. 12]
Since
late in the 19th century, Christ’s anointed
followers have applied the counsel
of Jeremiah 6:16 to themselves and have
led the way in a wholehearted return
to “the roadways of long ago.” To this
day, the anointed help one another as
well as their “other sheep” companions to
pursue the healthful, happy way of life
that Christendom has abandoned.
( John10:16
)4. Why can it be said that there is “balsam in
Gilead” today? (Jer. 8:22) [
Mar. 19, w10
6/1
p. 22 par. 3–p. 23 par. 4]
In many ways,
today’s world is full of “wounds and
bruises and fresh stripes.”
( Isa. 1:6 ) Peopleare suffering from poverty, injustice,
selfishness, and a lack of love. But the
comfort and hope provided by the good
news of the Kingdom is able to bind up
broken hearts. The time is fast approaching
when Jehovah God will bring about
PLEASE GIVE TO SCHOOL OVERSEER
THEOCRATIC MINISTRY SCHOOL REVIEW ANSWER SHEET COVERING ASSIGNMENTS
FOR WEEKS OF MARCH 5 TO APRIL 30, 2012.
SOURCE MATERIAL:
New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures [ bi12 ],The
Watchtower
[ w ], Insight on the Scriptures, Volume 2 [ it- 2],“All Scripture Is Inspired
of God and Beneficial”
(1990 Edition) [ si ], andGod’s Word for Us Through Jeremiah
[
jr].
INSTRUCTIONS: Each one should have the questions for the review as set out in
Our Kingdom Ministry. The review should focus attention on the value of the material
considered in the Theocratic Ministry School during the preceding two months. The school
overseer may ask auxiliary questions, as time permits, in order to clarify main points, to
highlight the reasons for the answers, or to elicit comments on how the material can be
applied. It is not always practical for the answer sheet to contain all possible answers; so
any answer that the audience gives that is appropriate and in harmony with our present
understanding is acceptable, even if the point is not found on the answer sheet. Until the
congregation has taken this review, the answer sheet is not to be made available to the
congregation to read, but it should be used by the school overseer during the preceding
weeks as a guide to points that he wants to emphasize for the congregation. It is not
necessary for the school overseer to read all the answers from the answer sheet if the
points have already been covered. The review should not exceed 20 minutes.
NOTE TO SCHOOL OVERSEERS: Please select an approved Watchtower Study reader
to read from the platform the scriptures cited in or after each question as the question
appears in Our Kingdom Ministry. Cited texts should usually be read before you ask
the printed question. In view of the limited time allotted for the review, you may use
your discretion in determining whether lengthy Scripture citations should be read or be
summarized briefly.
The date in brackets represents the week that the material was to be covered.

“the curing of the nations,” with everlasting
life in view.
( Rev. 22:2 )5. In what way does Jehovah “feel regret” after
pronouncing judgment? (Jer. 18:7, 8)
[
Apr. 2, jr p. 151, box]God is perfect and
never errs in judgment, so it is not that he
feels regret in the way that a human does
who has completely misjudged a matter.
Rather, Jehovah feels regret by adjusting
his dealings, responding to the change of
heart he observes in a repentant sinner.
God can show the repentant person the
loving attention enjoyed by those having
His approval.
6. How did Jehovah fool Jeremiah, and what
lesson can we draw from this? (Jer. 20:7)
[
Apr. 2, jr p. 36 par. 8]When Jeremiah
thought that he had reached his limit and
could not fulfil his God-given assignment,
Jehovah exercised a persuasive force so
that Jeremiah was fooled, as it were, so
that even in the face of apathy, rejection,
and violence, he was able to continue to
preach. We learn from this that we must
trust Jehovah and never stop doing his
will.
7. In what sense were Israel’s enemies sanctified?
(Jer. 22:6-9) [
Apr. 9, it-2p. 1166 par. 8]
When it was necessary to punish unfaithful
Israel, those foreign armies bringing
the destruction were viewed as ‘sanctified,’
in the sense that they were ‘set
apart’ by Jehovah for the execution of his
righteous judgments.
8. Why could Jehovah rightly say to his
ancient people, “I have drawn you with
loving-kindness”? (Jer. 31:3) [
Apr. 23,
jr
pp. 142-145 pars. 8-11]Jehovah protected
and fed the Israelites while they
spent 40 years in the wilderness. In the
Promised Land, God provided judges to
rescue them from their enemies and to
bring them back to true worship. Jehovah
stuck with them through good times
and bad during all those centuries, and
even when their actions demanded severe
punishment, Jehovah held out a positive
“good word” for those who repented and
changed their lives.
( Jer. 29:10-12 )9. How is God’s law written in hearts? (Jer. 31:
33) [
Apr. 23, w07 3/15 p. 11 par. 2]When a
person loves God’s law so much that he
has a fervent desire to do Jehovah’s will,
it can be said that God’s lawis written in
his heart.
10. What was the purpose of making two deeds
of the same transaction? (Jer. 32:10-15)
[
Apr. 30, w07 3/15 p. 11 par. 3]The deed
“left open” was for consultation. The
“sealed” deed served as a backup to
verify the accuracy of the open one. Jeremiah
set an example for us by following
reasonable legal procedures even when
he was dealing with a relative and fellow
believer.

If God allows us to be persecuted, he will
always give us the strength to endure persecution.
