I like how they act like their is no pressure to attend the training.

I actually got called up to stage at the suggestion of an elder in my locality by the speaking brother at a college conference. He was talking about the training and about how we should pray about what to do after college. Called me up there and asked me what I wanted to do...had the whole group of students sing and pray something...

"So what are you doing after college?"

"I don't know"

"Lets try that again"(cue crowd)

Speaking brother did come up and apologize for putting me on the spot-which I suppose would not have been necessary had I just shouted "I'm going to the FTTA!!!". But I had one trainee that I didn't even know come up, poke me in the ribs, offer some small talk and then say "see ya next term"

I feel like once it was realized that I was not going to go I was sort of tossed by the wayside.
