Jehovah`s Witnesses deride others who claim to be christian and only attend church, either at weddings , easter or xmass .
However they blow their trumpet loud and clear showing how many attended the memorial service each year , which is usually 3 times as many active witnesses , so 2 out of 3 people only attend a kingdom hall once in twelve months .
