Hello Andyman,
nice question...that comes up every few months.
It is true "no one is put under pressure to donate " but as you
know it also, if not enough contributions arereceived at the
literature & magazines dep. an part is made to the cong., in the
service meeting, to...encourage the "donation", "contribution" or
if you prefer "the generosity " etc.etc.

Freddie,
I gotta take you to task on the following comment, Joel said
I remember somewhere, maybe it was pagan writing or something that said,you received free, give free
Joelbear,That mean give money free from your hearts.
FREDDIE, the context of this is NOT in giving money but sharing the gospel, come on dude.
As to the cost of the magazines, I used to be a printer, to print a mag the quality of the Watchtower and Awake would run about .40 including labor costs, and since the JW's don't have labor costs I'd say it would be a bit less.
CD's can be stamped out for a buck or so a piece, so forty dollars is no where NEAR the cost for these yahoos, their aiming at a 2000% mark up.
