The Meeting - And Love - That Isn't There
The Bible says nothing about a Service Meeting....or a Ministry School... or a Watchtower Study.
Yet, there is a Christian meeting plainly referred to in the Bible that the Governing Bozos ignore.

Early Christians scheduled common meals in which the rich and poor ate together in fellowship. A few churches still try to follow this practice (Adventists, I believe). It was done for the purpose of 'agape' or principled love, if you favor the WTS definition of that word.
A further point? Take note of the 'spirit of the world' (zeitgeist, I love that word!). The US , in particular, is drifting towards being asocial, as many such as Atlantic magazine have noted. People stay glued to their phones, do meetings on Zoom, and shy away from going out to dinner or various events. Some say this has gotten worse since Covid hit.
The GB has set a poor example of such love as when they dumped old Bethelites in years past (actually behaving worse than the world - which may offer severance, extended insurance, job retraining).
You could argue against any such reforms in the hope that this whole sick edifice just sells off and goes away. I get that. And many JWs would be better off spending their time and money elsewhere - away from the boredom and spiritual/social stagnation that is the WTS.
For you then, this is just an observation that, while the Organization is guilty of many sins of commission, there are sins of omission as well.
