The same as anyone with deeply held religious beliefs for whom Sunday has special significance.
They don't "have to attend Sunday meetings." However, most Witnesses understand Hebrews 10:24,25 as strongly encouraging them to meet together regularly. Besides, not all Witnesses meet on Sunday; some, like me, attend on Saturday instead, especially when four or five congregations meet at the same location, and thus cannot all meet on Sunday.
In George Orwell's "Animal Farm," the Sunday rituals included a weekly meeting where the animals gathered to discuss farm affairs and make decisions collectively. During these meetings, the pigs, particularly Napoleon and Snowball, would lead discussions and propose resolutions. The rituals also involved a ceremonial flag-raising and the singing of "Beasts of England," which served to inspire unity and a sense of purpose among the animals. Over time, these meetings became more controlled and less democratic, reflecting the pigs' increasing power.
Jehovah's Witnesses do not follow a "sabbath" rule strictly, although most meetings with Public talks are held on Sundays for convenience, but sometimes they are held on Saturdays. In addition, Jehovah's Witnesses have mid-week meetings that also give opportunities for worship.
