Dow Jones right up there means nothing if they are doing it by buying stocks (the Fed) and changing the rules so any trade that results in a plunge gets retracted. Playing the rules, the Dow cannot go down very much--it can only go up, and the Fed is buying stocks using money it prints (causing hyperinflation in the process). This lends more to the reasoning that it is done on purpose, not because of recklessness.
And the washtowel is going to try and get credit for helping its members. Mostly, it will be "trust in joke-hova and that thing will sustain you" that will make people afraid of leaving. People will pious-sneer, thinking they will get joke-hova to help them in exchange. Little do they know that joke-hova will never help anyone unless it is with the goal of setting up mankind for mass enslavement. Helping people was necessary in the beginning, to get that thing to be able to forcibly evict Gentile nations from Canaan, and later to make sure joke-hova's messiah would not be disrupted. These days, the messiah has supposedly already come (the second coming is to make sure we are all enslaved, nothing else)--hence, joke-hova only needs refer people to the LIE-ble instead of helping anyone. That thing will let people down this time.
What I hope for is that people simply cannot do more. No matter what the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger says, if gas is 10,000 toilet papers a gallon and you only have 500 toilet papers, you are not getting more than 1/20 gallon (or around 200 ml). You cannot donate a million toilet papers into the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund if you only have access to 10,000. And if you are not getting gold and silver while you still can, there is no way you are going to be donating gold or silver. If the witlesses are not allowed good jobs, they cannot make a decent income or learn barter skills.
What might be good to trap people in the religion is not good for financial stability. However, I feel the financial situation is secondary to damning souls. They really want to drain people financially--even if they were flush with cash, their job for joke-hova is to drain the flock and make sure they never enjoy anything. Hence, they would still hound and harass the flock for more money and even indebt them as technology allows. Plus, make them do more work to waste their time--which is probably why they do not do their work in the most efficient way possible.
