Because they believe they'll be dispensed "fine spiritual food". They won't. They'll be dispensed Satanic propaganda. Sorry.

Because of people they share genes with.

Because it's become a habit and they feel guilty when they don't.

When you only go to "keep up appearances" that others will miss you.

Actually, on second thought, you should not attend if you disagree with a policy of the WTS. The WTS requires 100% loyalty to its dictates. If you don't agree 100%, then you are fooling yourself. Your time would be better spent doing some soul searching and independent Bible study.

If you are going to learn something new or to grow spiritually, then that would be a wrong reason to go. However, if you are going to the meetings because you have a date for breakfast after the meetings then thats fine. Socializing is a good reason to go. For anything spiritual, wrong reason to go. Blah! Blah! Blah! Do More! Do More! Do More! The end is near,can work up an appetite, pretend your going out in service after the meeting then detour to your favorite Breakfast spot. May I suggest I HOP! Pancakes and Eggs and of cause, Coffee
If your meeting is later, then its off to lunch!
Remember to hand out a tract or magazine before and after you eat, then you can count your time while your socializing with your date.

If you are going to feed the cancer, that is the wrong reason to go. You should be getting equal or greater value out of going than you are putting in, or else you are wasting your time.

Going to the kingdom hall for spiritual food is like depending on a Pez dispenser for a meal.
You keep getting the same thing over and over, in tiny little bits, flavored a bit different sometimes, but with no substance, but it makes you happy.
If you run out, you have to go back to the kingdom hall for a refill. Over and over and over.
Waking up to the truth about the "Truth" is like one day you realize the dispenser has nothing and never did. You finally grew up. Stupid Pez dispenser.
