  Why don't they just call it a review already!? What's with the "oral"? Stumbling.

  Don't panic, Just don't participate. Easy!

  A long time ago this review was BOARDal - now it is oral.

  As a born in I remember the old time, when every person in the KH became a little board and the questionnaire. Then there was a long time silence in the KH and everybody tried to get the answers for himself written down *crazy time*

  Yeah, I forgot - Sorry. Here it is!

  1. What was wrong with the way that Michal
  spoke to David, and what lesson should
  married couples take to heart from this account?
  (2 Sam. 6:20-23) [May 11, w11 8/1
  p. 12 par. 1] In speaking sarcastically
  to her husband, Michal offended David
  and displeased Jehovah. Couples
  should choose their words carefully and
  resist any urge to use sarcasm and namecalling.

  2. How did the prophet Nathan react when Jehovah
  corrected him for telling David to
  go ahead and build a temple for Jehovah?
  (2 Sam. 7:2, 3) [May 11, w12 2/15 p. 24
  pars. 6-7] Jehovah corrected Nathan because
  the prophet apparently expressed
  his own feelings instead of speaking in
  Jehovah’s name. Nathan’s judgment with
  respect to temple construction did not
  harmonize with God’s will. Without murmuring,
  however, this humble prophet
  acquiesced to Jehovah’s purpose and cooperated
  with it.

  3. Why did Nathan relate the parable recorded
  at 2 Samuel 12:1-7 instead of just telling
  David directly that he was guilty of serious
  sin? How can this account help us to be
  better teachers? [May 18, w12 2/15 p. 24
  pars. 2-3] Nathan’s illustration helped
  David view his situation objectively, detached
  from self-justification. A Bible teacher’s objective is to help his listeners
  arrive at the right conclusion by acquiring
  Jehovah’s point of view. He can
  accomplish this by appealing to his listeners’
  sense of what is right, doing so
  without assuming any air of superiority.

  4. Why was Absalom able to deceive the Israelites,
  and how can we protect ourselves
  from the “Absaloms” of our day? (2 Sam.
  15:6) [May 25, w12 7/15 p. 13 par. 7] Perhaps
  the Israelites were swayed by
  Absalom’s physical appearance or his
  persuasive speech. They also lacked loyalty
  to Jehovah and his appointed king.
  Today, Satan continues to use “Absaloms”
  in his attempt to steal the hearts of
  Jehovah’s servants by saying such things
  as “Jehovah’s standards are too restrictive”
  and “people in the world have all
  the fun.” We must cherish the true freedom
  we enjoy under the law of the Christ
  and see through such contemptible lies.

  5. How did Jehovah provide for David during
  a time of dire need, and what can we
  learn from this? (2 Sam. 17:27-29) [June 1,
  w08 9/15 p. 6 pars. 15-16] Recognizing
  the plight of David and his men,
  Shobi, Machir, and Barzillai brought
  them much-needed supplies. David no
  doubt saw the kindness of these men as
  an expression of Jehovah’s loving care.

  In the same way, Jehovah can move his
  modern-day servants to come to the aid
  of a fellow worshipper in need.

  6. How can we benefit from David’s example
  in his dealings with a foreigner named Ittai?
  (2 Sam. 18:2) [June 1, w09 5/15 p. 27
  par. 7] Like David, we should strive to
  look beyond cultural, racial, or ethnic
  differences and recognize the good qualities
  in others. The bond that was formed
  between David and Ittai illustrates that
  our coming to know and love Jehovah
  can help us to overcome any lingering
  prejudices or animosities.

  7. How might older ones in the congregation
  benefit from the example of Barzillai?
  (2 Sam. 19:33-35) [June 8, w07 7/15 p. 15
  pars. 1-2] The account of Barzillai highlights
  the need for balance. On the one
  hand, we should not turn down a service
  privilege or avoid reaching out for
  it simply because we want a quiet life
  or feel incapable of shouldering responsibility.
  On the other hand, we need to
  display modesty and recognize our limitations.

  8. How do David’s words about loyalty assure
  Jehovah’s servants today? (2 Sam. 22:26)
  [June 15, w10 6/1 p. 26 pars. 6-7] David’s
  words remind us that Jehovah values our loyalty and obedience to Him. (Eph. 4:
  24; 5:1) If we imitate Jehovah in showing
  loyalty in our dealings with others, we
  can trust that he will never abandon us.
  We can count on Jehovah to act loyally
  in our behalf, helping us to face successfully
  whatever trials may come our way.

  9. How did Nathan display loyalty to God, and
  how can we imitate that quality today?
  (1 Ki. 1:11-14) [June 22, w12 2/15 p. 25
  pars. 1, 4-5] Nathan displayed loyalty to
  Jehovah by vigorously defending divine
  arrangements. We can imitate Nathan’s
  loyalty by upholding Jehovah’s righteous
  standards. We can also be courageous,
  yet tactful, teachers of truth and promoters
  of pure worship.

  10. In what areas of life might a servant of
  God use imperfect reasoning to get around
  God’s commands, as Solomon apparently
  did? (1 Ki. 3:1) [June 29, w11 12/15 p. 10
  pars. 12-14] A brother or a sister might attempt
  to rationalize forming a romantic
  link with a non-Witness, ignoring God’s
  directive to marry “only in the Lord.”
  (1 Cor. 7:39) With similar rationalizing,
  one might share in extracurricular
  sports or clubs at school, underreport
  taxable income, or tell untruths when
  asked to reveal actions that could be embarrassing.
