Why invoke some supernatural being?
Because from a theological perspective (scriptural) the WTS and the men who been running it have been active in apostasy or anti Christian behavior.
Being a false prophet is condemned in the bible, even if it was done so as a deliberate intent of proliferating literature.
I don't follow, but to each their own.
A friend of ours in Australia has stopped going to the meetings because of seeing the problems in the congregation there. They were bold (or crazy) enough to announce the fact on their Facebook page. Immediately the posts started rolling in either urging them to go back, to seek out the elders, or criticizing them for not opposing the Devil.
The post that really made me laugh was the one which said, "Oh you have to return to the congregation's Kingdom Hall because it's the only place in the world where Jehovah is with his Holy Spirit."
And I thought how ignorant of Bible knowledge the writer must be for Christ said that God does not dwell in handmade temples. And besides if you believe in God as the Almighty One then HE is God over every creation, not inside one tiny building and His holy spirit is working across the globe. It's laughable that anyone can think God is somehow anchored above each Kingdom Hall and nowhere else.
"Oh you have to return to the congregation's Kingdom Hall because it's the only place in the world where Jehovah is with his Holy Spirit."
But what if the actions locally and globally and at headquarters prove that god's holy spirit is not there?

You're right Tantalon...as evidenced by Toxic Tony Morris' video...just under the influence...aye!
"Oh you have to return to the congregation's Kingdom Hall because it's the only place in the world where Jehovah is with his Holy Spirit."
And when they, the Jehovah`s witnesses sell that Kingdom hall dedicated to Jehovah to one of Christendom`s churches as they do , then
presumably Jehovah`s holy Spirit now remains in one of Christendom`s Churches.
If a Dedication of a kingdom hall to Jehovah can become null and void ,then why
can`t a person / individuals dedication to Jehovah by water baptism become null and void when that person / individual for whatever reason decides to leave the religion of Jehovah`s witnesses ?
Their is no negative effects with a building or the "Brothers" who are responsible for the sale of a KH to a religion of Christendom ,so why should there be any negative effects with any of the rank and file brothers and sisters who decide to leave the religion.
A Kingdom hall that has now become a Church of Christendom speaks volumes against Jehovah`s Witnesses as a "True "religion
I looked at the original question: present or gone. Add never there which is my choice.

Not long ago I suggested the the "Three Pillars of JWism" were
