I can see it now, people being DA'd for not attending meetings....for disobeying one of God's commands.
w95 4/1 pp. 15-16 Incite to Love And Fine Works?How? ***Thus, the apostle Paul wrote at Hebrews 10:24, 25: "Let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near."

w93 2/1 p. 19 What Godly Subjection Requires of Us ***So the German brothers went underground but kept obeying Jehovah?s commands to meet together and to witness about his name and Kingdom.
