I often wondered over the years about attending so many meetings each week. I could find no biblical reason for it. The much abused hebrews 10..24,25 doesnt give any backing. The hebrew christians were getting ready to flee Jerusalem waiting for its destruction so we can understand they would want to keep together. Once they fled Jerusalem we have no further knowledge of what happened to them.
I laugh at times when we are given pictures in the WT that show groups of people with their scrolls looking like they are at the kh for the wt meeting. People back then were poor, poor poor. Many were slaves, they couldnt just pop off for hours on end to meetings. Scrolls were for the rich, although the early christians did pioneer the copying of texts. We are told we need all those meetings to keep us strong spiritually, yet any time for real meditation is filled in with all the other stuff we are supposed to study.
I remember in March or April of last year the last meetings I went to there was a paragraph in Wt that said we should be prepared for meetings in the new system, by being faithful in attending now. SHIT, shit shit i mumbled to my husband....a 1000 years of meetings.! Forget it I am out of here. That was the last meeting I attended.
