Theocratic Ministry School Review
The following questions will be considered orally at the Theocratic Ministry School during the week beginning February 27, 2006. The school overseer will conduct a 30-minute review based on material covered in assignments for the weeks of January 2 through February 27, 2006. [Note: Where there are no references after the question, you will need to do your own research to find the answers.—See Ministry School, pp. 36-7.]
