This is how I keep my sanity during the meeting

    I only go on Sundays and not every Sunday and only because I have to take my father who can't drive.

    I often wished I could have other reading material during the meeting. Then I got the idea to order a Spanish Bible. Now I follow along in my Spanish Bible while the speaker speaks English. I had two years of Spanish in high school, forgot most of it, but it's now it's coming back. At least now I'm using my mind for something useful, and I don't get quite so upset about the drivel that I hear at the meetings.

    very clever!

    That is nice, though, that you are willing to drive your dad even though you don't want to be there. See, now that is a great example of unconditional love on your part. Good luck with the Spanish!

    I go to very few meetings.

    I do a lot of mental figuring out stuff while the meeting is in full swing. I take care of my financial affairs, or read stuff from the book of Proverbs.

    I'm there in body, but hardly ever in mind or spirit.

    Bring a small "makeup" mirror and use it to make the people in the illustrations look funny.

    Put it halfway over their face to make them look cross-eyed... or put it diagonal to make their eyes into one Cyclops.

    My sister and I hand countless hours of fun like that.

    I remember a guy in our congregation who was learning Danish, so he used to bring Danish versions of all the publications and read from those. I wonder if he had the same idea...?

    That's a good idea. At least you are learning something useful.
