They can't be because they are Jehovah's; -- meaning they belong to Jehovah. They gave themselves over to Jehovah. They dedicated their life, their very being, to Jehovah God. So they are 'HIS' witnesses.
Even if they stop worshiping Jehovah with his other witnesses; Jehovah does not undo their dedication to Him. He accepted it, and that's all there's to it. He holds them to it. He requires their devotion and worship. They shouldn't have dedicated themselves to Jehovah God in the first place.
It's something like if you're a citizen of a country, and you live in that country. You can't just say that you're no longer a citizen; so you don't need to obey the laws. The government holds you to your citizenship; and will place you in prison if you flagrantly violate the laws. It's just the way it is.
