if they keep taking money from JWs like they have been, people won't be able to afford to be a JW because, membership will require just to much money.
I think there are enough of the old generation that that is still heavily supporting the watchtower. I am talking about folks like my parents in their 70's and 80's.
The younger generation of jw's just dont have it to give. They don't have any education and work at low-paying jobs barely keeping their own heads out of water. I know a lot of them live pay check to pay check and have lots of debts. How much can these really give.

Jehovah's Witnesses - Emotional Blackmail - Fear Obligation Guilt
by JT-LadyC inafter leaving the jehovah’s witness religion, we had the opportunity to read emotional blackmail by susan forward, ph.d. we could relate to the stories she discusses in the book and could make a direct correlation to our lives as jehovah’s witnesses.
while the experiences are somewhat different from what we encountered in our personal lives, we could readily comprehend how individuals use emotional blackmail to make others develop fear, obligation and guilt in order to manipulate them into furthering their own agenda.this podcast explains in great detail how jehovah’s witnesses live in the fog.
no one can dispute these comments as every current and former witness is most familiar with the culture of the organization!this podcast references the experience of a sister that lived in an iron lung and her experience was used as a tool to measure the faith of jehovah’s witnesses with otherwise good health that did not live up to the daily demands of the watchtower.

Very sad indeed. Read an article where the father ,Vance Sabbatino, is quoted as saying that his son was suffering from depression. -

Dan Sydlik
by done4good inmorning warship - he was the only restraint and i'm not saying that lightly.
i know there are a dozen others here who were in bethel back in the early 2000's who know what i'm talking about.
he actually kept me thinking this was jehovah's org because of his sincerity as if the holy spirit was operating in him.

In my opinion, it doesn't matter how good and moderate Sidlik may have appeared, but he was a part of a group of men that through the years have cause much damage. Guilty by association! At least in my book. -

Estimating future growth or decline of Watchtower
by shepherdless ini have seen a few posts here, in various guises, in relation to whether watchtower is in decline.
plenty of people respond, but it is all fairly anecdotal, or "gut feel".
some of it has been wishful thinking.. as of late 2015, watchtower's numbers suggest it is still growing marginally, but there are various anecdotes on this site of publishers typically being older, and younger ones disappearing.

I know of the congregations in my area. There has been marginal growth. Most of the new baptized, have come from the ranks of the kids.
