  i recently learned ttatt and it really sickens me when i sit through the meetings.

  i am so tired of faking things.

  i feel like vomiting when annoying things are said from the platform.

  4) use your time to wake others up

  its hard and can be scarry at first, but learn to ask open ended questions designed to spark people and make them think. Pepper them in to comments During the meeting. Have something in mind thats being discussed on the meeting and frame an innocent question designed to give a subtle nudge. You maybe supprised at who will give a subtle nod of knowing or who will privatly admit they see where you going and agree with you. Keep it subtle, always leave yourself wiggle room, and have fun with a subservise attitude. it WILL help some, even if you dont see it right away.

  Best use of your time is #4. If you have a rough timeframe in mind of how long you'll be stuck in the bOrg, make it your goal to wake up at least one other person per year/6 months/3 months etc.

  And be sure to turn in your time spent at meetings helping others to know TTATT as "field service".

  the owner of the company that i work for was talking to me today about his brother who chose a different line of business and makes more money than him.

  he seems to be upset about his choice of work.

  but when when i look around this guys yard he has done very well for himself but apparantly not as well as his brother.

  There will always be people who define their "success" by their business dealings, relative wealth, and sense of power. They fail to realize that none of that truly matters in the long run, and that while financial prosperity brings a measure of security, it also adds layers of insecurity and worry about the future. People who are happy in their own skin, who love others and consider everyone as an equal, tend not to require wealth and toys to be happy.

  Did it bother you that they taught, "miss a meeting and you'll fall away?"

  how many times did we hear that if we dont attend meetings we will leave the truth because satan will get ahold of us?

  that always bothered me.

  i thought, "if my faith isn't able to stand alone what good is it?

  Simon summed it up perfectly. Life is well worth living outside the stodgy walls of a "kingdom" hall.

  PARENTS, listen up (and yes, I know this is NOT the popular answer) --

  You can store your credit card info to use with your iTunes account, but as a parent you should NEVER give your underage child YOUR PASSWORD to that iTunes account. When YOU share your password, YOU are opening the account up for that child's use and it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to control its use, not the responsibility of the credit card company and certainly not iTunes' responsibility.

  Change the iTunes password. Do not give your child any of your passwords for any reason.

  We as PARENTS must set the example of RESPONSIBILITY, not blaming others for our poor decisions leading up to bad consequences. Children do not have good judgment in financial matters, that's why they are not allowed to sign contracts. Did the daughter make poor financial decisions? Absolutely. But that is why we have to teach them about finances before we give them access to finances. This girl obviously can do math and knew she was spending funds, but unless she stole your password to get into the account or breached an agreement with you to never purchase anything in iTunes...she actually had permission to do what she did.
