But do not stop trying to comment. Prepare several comments for each meeting. Then if you are not chosen to comment early in the study, you will still have opportunities to comment as the meeting progresses. When preparing for the <em>Watchtower</em> Study, think about how each paragraph ties in to the theme of the article. If you do, you will likely have something to offer throughout the lesson. Additionally, you might prepare to comment on paragraphs that discuss deeper truths that are more difficult to explain. Why? Because there may be fewer volunteers during that part of the lesson. What if you find that after several meetings you still have not had an opportunity to comment? Tell the conductor before the meeting which question you would like to answer. <a href=\"/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1102025208/1/0\"><em>w23.04</em> 21-22 ¶9-10</a></p>\r\n</div>\r\n","articleClasses":"today html5 pub-es docId-1102025208 pub-es25 pub-es pub-es25 docClass-4 jwac showRuby ml-E ms-ROMAN dir-ltr","did":1102025208,"hideThumbnailImage":false,"preReference":"","reference":"es25 pp. 88-97 - Examining the Scriptures Daily—2025","source":"","englishSymbol":"es25","classification":4,"publicationTitle":"Examining the Scriptures Daily—2025","navScopeData":[],"mediaHtml":[]},{"rsconf":"r1","lib":"lp-e","title":"September 1-7","cardImageType":"publication","url":"/wol/d/r1/lp-e/202025321?#h=1:0-32:0","imageUrl":"/wol/d/r1/lp-e/202025321/thumbnail","caption":"mwb25 September p. 2","content":"<header>\r\n<h1 class=\"du-fontSize--basePlus2 du-color--textSubdued\" id=\"p1\" data-pid=\"1\"><span id=\"page2\" class=\"pageNum\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-no=\"2\" data-before-text=\"2\"></span>SEPTEMBER 1-7</h1>\r\n<h2 class=\"du-fontSize--base du-margin-top--2 du-margin-top-desktopOnly--4\" id=\"p2\" data-pid=\"2\"><a href=\"/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/202025321/0/0\" data-bid=\"1-1\" class=\"b\"><strong>PROVERBS 29</strong></a></h2>\r\n</header>\r\n<div class=\"bodyTxt\">\r\n<h3 class=\"dc-icon--music dc-icon-size--basePlus1 dc-icon-margin-horizontal--8 du-fontSize--base du-borderStyle-top--solid du-borderColor--borderDefault du-borderWidth--2 du-padding-top--4 du-padding-top-desktopOnly--5\" id=\"p3\" data-pid=\"3\"><a href=\"/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/202025321/0/0\"><strong>Song 28</strong></a> <strong>and Prayer | Opening Comments</strong> <span class=\"du-fontWeight--normal\">(1 min.)</span></h3>\r\n<div id=\"tt7\" class=\"du-fontSize--basePlus2 dc-icon--gem dc-icon-layout--top dc-icon-bgColor--teal-600 dc-icon-color--white dc-icon-margin-inlineEnd--8 dc-icon-padding--5 dc-icon-size--baseMinus1 du-margin-top--8 du-margin-bottom--2\">\r\n<h2 class=\"du-fontSize--base du-color--teal-700 du-margin-vertical--0\" id=\"p4\" data-pid=\"4\"><strong>TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD</strong></h2>\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"tt9\" class=\"dc-bleedToArticleEdge dc-paddingToContentEdge du-bgColor--bgSecondary du-margin-top--8 du-padding-top--8 du-padding-bottom--4\">\r\n<h3 class=\"du-fontSize--base du-color--teal-700 du-margin-vertical--0\" id=\"p5\" data-pid=\"5\"><strong>1.
