Jehovah's Witnesses do not have "reunions" and they don't simply invite people "to join them". What they do is get people to study with them over a long period of time till they are familiar with and accept all their beliefs. They expect interested people to join them in speaking to other people with a view to getting them to study with them. They are also expected to attend all the weekly meetings.
If someone wants to be baptised and become a member, they have to answer a load of questions about what the Witnesses believe, how they are expected to conduct themselves by living up to the highest moral standards, and why they must give their unquestioning obedience and loyalty to the Governing Body.
