Why the meetings are boring and uninspiring
by UnshackleTheChains ineach individual may have their own views as to why they feel the meetings are boring and uninspiring.
in my case i find the midweek meeting so, because of the constant emphasis on pitching watchtower literature.
its just monotonous and one big yawn.. i watch other christian faiths where they open up a chapter of the bible and discuss it's contents.

The major themes of the meetings.
THE MAIN THEME
1. Listen and obey the GB (virtually always described as the F&DS) - listen and obey the elders because we are telling you what the F&DS say you should do. They know what is best for you and guarantee you will be blessed with everlasting life in the name of Jehovah "very soon" - even if the Bible, your experience, older witnesses experience, even their own literature or plain Commonsense tells you differently.
Sub-theme
1. Work for us (originally by selling our crap literature - now by handing over your KH real estate and building us more) and donate money/property to us and keep us in a powerful and very comfortable lifestyle.
2. If you oppose us we will make sure all your loved ones shun you completely and will do our best to break you and use you as an example of what not to be.
All this is done by twisting and manipulating (especially old testament) scriptures to pretend they are just telling you Jehovah's will.
THEY DON'T EVER DELIVER ON THEIR PROMISES AND YOU'LL DIE. WHO THE HELL KNOWS IF YOU WILL LIVE AGAIN? PROBABLY NOT. EVEN IF YOU DO IT WILL NOT BE DEPENDENT UPON THE 7 IDIOTS IN NEW YORK.
And breathe ...

Women must not instruct men, even by singing a theocratic song.
by Ultimate Axiom ini did a quick search and this doesn’t appear to have been commented on here, but if it has been, i apologise in advance for starting an unnecessary thread.. regarding a change to a song title, the study article on page 7 paragraph 17 of november 2017 watchtower explained, “the change of the title “guard your heart” to “we guard our hearts” was most considerate.
in the audience at our meetings, assemblies, and conventions are many new ones, interested ones, young ones, and sisters who by singing the words would be put in the awkward position of telling others what to do.
so the title and the lyrics were modified.”.

"I personally would NOT let my parents see my children unless I was there with them, PERIOD. So if they don't want to see me, then you will not see my kids. I would however still be nice and cordial to them."

I'm not in the USA, I'm in the UK.
Putting the financial point to one side just for the moment (and only for the moment) is there a fresh CRIMINAL case to be brought? If only to protect others from the twisted bastard.
Sorry for all you and your daughters have gone through.
From what I've read - ZALKIN know their stuff; might they know if a monetary case can be brought against your father or your ex? Do they have any assets.

Generation
by Jrjw inplease could someone explain to me what the generation thing i keep seeing in people's threads was that had lots of people leave the wts coz it was way before i became a witness.

I'll try ...
Up until 1995 and especially after the 1975 debacle "The Generation" was understood as those aged between about 70 and 80 - that saw 1914 (with understanding) and would not pass away before Armaggeddy.
When it was becoming obvious that the generation WAS passing away the age of understanding not-so-subtly dropped from 15 to 10 to babies.
By 1995 the gig was up as we were now 81 years from 1914.
So the definition of "The Generation" was changed a few times between then and 2010 - see jw.facts for details - when the infamous overlapping generations arrived and more recently the "Ex-Splaned" chart shows how it works. (Using F.W.F. and causing WTF? from many on this and other forums.)

The above post shows the Kingdom hall in Raglan (South East Wales) and associated buildings up for sale. (The congregation(s)) meeting there were not named Raglan)
Property description
Contact Newland Rennie - Monmouth about Residential development £425,000
A rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a site with tremendous planning potential within the town of Raglan.
The site comprises the Meeting Hall, semi detached cottage and a large level area at the rear with a separate access. There is ample space and hard standing areas for parking and turning. Water, electricity and drainage all connected to the Meeting Hall. Kingdom Hall site has the potential of becoming a highly regarded town development.Plans have been drawn providing two semi detached properties, a further semi detached property and a detached 4 bedroom executive home.......Freddo's comment - I believe this has been sold for property development - it is still there (week before Xmas 2017) and is a bit of a dump which would be ideal for pulling down and building houses. -

Frome (pronounced Froom) in Somerset have moved as a complete congregation from Welshmill Lane in Frome (Charity commission shows this as being their address in 2016) to share Midsomer Norton's Kingdom hall in Waterloo Rd, Midsomer Norton. This is 8 miles away.
The Midsomer Norton address is shown for both congregations on Jborg.
These congregations are both presently in different circuits and under new arrangements I believe Midsomer Norton is being moved out of its old Avon Circuit.
