In places like Britain and the USA, they are feeling the shrink from discouraging
having children. In the USA, the ones having children are immigrants and
the Spanish-speaking JW's. They already got the small wave of post-1995 babies
from the "generation" change and many are already baptized. A few are left to
try to boost their numbers in 2008-2010.
The elders were already getting younger and childless more than 10 years ago.
Many C.O.'s are single, slightly younger men now. Imagine the 40 year old C.O.
who is still a virgin, giving childrearing and marital counsel. It will all just be WT
rhetoric.
