  Lets say..an assembly is arranged at a stadium for 30,000 jws to meet. Now lets say only about 1,000 jws show up.

  Do you think the show would go on?, or do you think it would be canceled because it would not generate enough money?

  At that point most of the cost would already be committed to so they might as well get on with it. You can bet whoever failed to plan it properly would be getting demoted, though.

  Do they still have regional conventions for 30,000? Except for international ones, they are much smaller. But to answer your question, even when no one is being baptized at an assembly or convention, they still have the baptism talk.

  The WTS watches the number of jws assigned to a convention, not necessarily factoring in non-jws on a yearly basis, starts decreasing, the include more congregations or circuits.

  Even if not enough show up, I'm sure that the WTS will assign a monetary responsibility to each congregation/circuit that should have gone there...the only way to avoid donating is not to go to your congregation.

  That would be interesting with the media present on the first day.

  They would announce in the accounts report aka the "sermon on the amount" that the deficit in expenses for the assembly stands at $29,000, so dig deep brothers and sisters.

  Won't happen. They would already know the approximate number well in advance based on the hotel rooms which have been booked
