The vast majority of younger brothers and sisters lived in corporate houses, many times headed up by a married couple. We were expected to attend every weekly meeting (at that time 3 or 4 weeknights), Saturday morning service groups, usually a Saturday night Gospel meeting, and of course 2 meetings on Sunday. (during those times the Lord's table was on Sunday evening) We didn't need to go to a full-time training - we were living in a 24X7 full-time training!
To many of us older ones out here, the thought of a full-time training (where brothers and sisters actually live at a corporate training center) was a foreign concept. This seemed like a seminary type situation, and you are probably aware of Witness Lee's attitude towards seminaries...he called them "cemeteries". Many of us totally understand your dilemma and can totally sympathize with your predicament. I'm assuming your parents pushed you to attend the FTT.
Again, there are a number of forum members who attended the FTT and may have some helpful advise and encouragement for you.
