I only attend every Memorial to make my JW family 'happy'. I very rarely go to the meetings.

Yes, still go and active in a sense of being regular at meetings, commenting and parts.
Why do I go?
1) Family
2) Because there are some who can be taught what the WTS is really all about, if at all with a subtle touch without raising alarm bells. If I'm still in, I can provide some sort of solace or comfort with my brothers/sisters who are in anguish or depressed about how they feel unknowingly or not about their faith in terms of how the WTS dictates it. The downtrodden are whom I feel the need to be there for.
The "textbook" brothers/sisters I usually avoid. They aren't of any comfort at all. Just works and outer appearances. No depth or substance nor anything substantial that they provide except the parroted/canned lines that they are indoctrinated with.

The last time I went to a meeting volitionally was March 24, 2005. That was the Crapmorial. I even managed to go to the wrong one.
The time before, I went to a book study on Dec 9, 2004. That one got cancelled because the heat in the back rooms was on the fritz, and it was too cold for the conductor to conduct it (and I didn't bother going to a different book study or to the boasting session from the other congregation). I got out of that one.
Before that, you have to go back a ways into 2004 before I went to any on a semi-regular basis. I don't even remember the last time I went to a regular boasting session other than the book study and with the correct congregation. I bet that made it easier for them to figure out whose turn it was to hound me.

one: I still live with my parents; i'm in my very early 20s.
two: i only have a part-time job so far.
three: i want to finish my associate's degree this year.
four: i don't want to move out until i pay off my student loans (36K-ish) for a useless degree i got from a for-profit technical school around two years ago.
so, yeah, i have to keep this up for a few years. as long as i'm out before i'm 30, i'll be fine.

I quit in 1998.
Have been to some assemblys tho. For driving a friend or my mom, and a little for the fun.
The assemblys is more entertaining now when I have accurate knowledge from appostate litterature and the internett.
