Theocratic Ministry School for 1974
INSTRUCTIONS
During 1974 the Theocratic Ministry School should be conducted by all congregations as follows:
TEXTBOOKS: The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, The Watchtower [w] and the books Aid to Bible Understanding [ad], Theocratic Ministry School Guidebook [sg], “All Scripture is Inspired of God and Beneficial” [si], True Peace and Security—From What Source? [tp] and Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses [yb] will be the basis for assignments.
ORAL REVIEW: 5 minutes. The brother who gave the instruction talk the preceding week will present no more than ten questions on material he covered from the books ad or si. All may share.
INSTRUCTION TALK: No. 1: 15 minutes. This should not be just a summary of the assigned material. It should be a well-developed talk on a chosen theme, assigned to elders if possible or, when necessary, to qualified ministerial servants. The coverage should not be superficial but should provide a presentation that is truly informative and helpful to the congregation. When preparing talks from si, the speaker should read the corresponding information in ad to make sure that the points he covers will be up-to-date.
TALK NO. 2: 6 minutes. This is a Bible reading of the assigned material. The reading assignments are short enough to permit the student to present explanatory information in his opening and concluding remarks, and even at fitting intermediate points. Historical background, prophetic or doctrinal significance, application of principles and expressions of appreciation for the wisdom reflected in the text may be included. The talk should be planned in a way that allows for all the assigned verses actually to be read. The allotted time should be fully utilized.
TALKS NOS. 3 AND 4: 6 minutes each. These talks are assigned to sisters whenever possible. When delivering one of these talks, the student may be either seated or standing. Although using mainly notes and the Bible in many cases, the students when appropriate, may read excerpts or quotations from the assigned material. One assistant will be scheduled by the school overseer, but additional assistants may be used. Settings could include situations arising at home, in the field service, the congregation or elsewhere; at times the presentation may simply be informative conversation between family members or others. The one giving the talk may either initiate the conversation to establish the setting or have his assistant(s) do so. Not the setting, but the material should be given prime consideration. Talks based on life experiences should be developed in line with the assigned theme. The student may want to work in a scripture, relate the story and show how the fine example profits us personally. Also, when presenting material from sg, the student may at times use an appropriate scripture or two to round out the discussion. On written review nights both talks should be developed in harmony with these instructions, except for timing.
TALK NO. 5: 6 minutes. Assigned preferably to a brother with some experience, it should be a talk to the entire audience. While giving his talk from notes, the speaker, when fitting, may read quotations or pointed excerpts from the assigned material. It will usually be best for the speaker to prepare his talk with a Kingdom Hall audience in mind, so that it will be truly informative and beneficial to those who actually hear it. However, if the material especially lends itself to another practical and suitable setting, the speaker may choose to develop his talk accordingly.
PREPARING TALKS: Where the material makes it possible, talks should follow a well-developed theme. Choose a theme that will allow for the best coverage of the material in the allotted time. Prepare all talks with the points in mind to be considered next on the Speech Counsel slip. When a setting is selected, endeavor to choose one that will show practical use of the material assigned, where that is appropriate.
COUNSEL: Specific counsel on each student talk will be given, following the program of progressive counsel outlined at the bottom of the Speech Counsel slip. Appreciative comments on important points covered by speakers and remarks highlighting the value of the information to us can help to keep the attention of all focused primarily on the Scriptural information presented. Be careful to use no more than 2 minutes for each student talk.
TIMING: No talk should go overtime; neither should the counsel. Talks Nos. 2 through 5 will be stopped if necessary when the time is up.
WHEN WRITTEN REVIEWS ARE SCHEDULED: Periodically a written review will be given. In preparation, review principally the material in ad, sg, si and tp and complete the assignment of personal Bible reading. Only the Bible may be used during the review. Each student will check his own paper as the questions and answers are read. The next week the oral review will cover a few high points of the written review. If, for some reason, local circumstances make it necessary, the written review may be used a week later than what is shown on the schedule. The two talks scheduled that evening may be assigned to brothers or sisters. Thirty minutes will be set aside for the review and the talks will be limited to five minutes each.
LARGE AND SMALL CONGREGATIONS: Congregations with a school enrollment of fifty or more students should arrange for additional groups of students to deliver the scheduled talks before other elders, if possible. Rotate the students to the various halls. Where it seems advisable, sisters may take any talk, presenting it to someone else, as outlined for Talks Nos. 3 and 4.
ABSENTEEISM: If a student is not present when scheduled, a volunteer will take the assignment, making whatever application he feels qualified to make on such short notice. Or the school overseer may cover the material with appropriate audience participation.
