Interesting remark I overheard today. The physical attendance for the Sunday meeting, in my local area, was 10. I tried to find out those on zoom. I was told that the ZOOM attendees wasn’t mentioned. When I left almost a decade ago this congregation had about 120 publishers. There would be around 70-100 attendees for any given meeting. The KH had the capacity to fit way more than the 120 publishers. Now they are physically down to 10. I wonder how long it will be before this congregation is closed down and Kingdom Hall sold.
Interesting comment regarding in person meeting attendance.

Looking at my local KH, the parking lot had about 25% of what it would have had 3 years ago. There is almost no youth going there. If Watchtower closes it, the next closest one is 18 miles away.

We have had a very zealous congregation, yet they have only been at 40-50% capacity in person since they opened up

What locale? Rural with long distances, unsafe city? Which country? 10 would be only the ones with parts if a midweek meeting. Is covid rampant or some other influence.
Some have speculated a streamlined meeting with a few actors putting on the show is the future.

My wife says are pushing about half of the pre pandemic highs. I think a lot of people are using the " safety " as an excuse to not attend in person. I think more than a few have made a run for it over the last two years.
Don't worry, the rest are faithfully watching at home on zoom.

The COVID fade: A lot of JWs discovered there are better things to do than field service and KH meeting attendance.

From what I see from my parts from a congregation of 100, 60 are on zoom and the rest go to the hall.
