It will not be necessary to request these. Based on the size of each congregation, cards will be shipped in lots of 25. If additional badge cards are needed by the congregations, these should be requested on a Literature Request Form (S-14). It is necessary to request plastic badge card holders for any in the congregation who desire them.
▪ Assignments No. 3 and No. 4 in the “Theocratic Ministry School Schedule for 2001” are drawn from designated pages and paragraphs in the Reasoning book. When counting paragraphs in the book, only the ones that are indented are to be counted.
▪ It is necessary for the Society to maintain an up-to-date record of addresses and telephone numbers for all presiding overseers and secretaries. If there is a change at any time, the secretary should complete and send a Presiding Overseer/Secretary Change of Address (S-29) form to the Society promptly. This includes any changes in area codes.
▪ Congregation secretaries should maintain an adequate supply of the forms Application for Regular Pioneer Service (S-205) and Application for Auxiliary Pioneer Service (S-205b). These can be ordered on the Literature Request Form (S-14). Maintain at least a one-year supply. Review all regular pioneer application forms to make sure they are complete. If applicants cannot recall the exact date of their baptism, they should estimate the date and keep a record of it.

This magazine-size paperback book will be 512 pages with no illustrations, and the type size will be comparable to the large-print editions of The Watchtower that have two study articles. Only English will be available at this time. Other languages will be announced as they become available. This can be listed on the request form as Isaiah’s Prophecy I-Large Print.
