Let say a congregation has four or more DFs attending meetings. If they sit together, the whole back row might be occupied by them, especially since non in good standing would want to sit between them. So the Dfs come, sit in the back looking sad, nobody greeting and talking to them.
How would that look like to newly interested ones, who might have children and for that reason want to be seated in the back as well?
Actually in my former congregation most brothers has their reserved seats. My family always sat in the third row front right.
You could almost rank the standing of the publishers by where they sat during the meetings. lol
