Take the Watchtower CD and do a search on the word "evidently". After you see the number of hits what sentence can you make
using the word "evidently"?

Oh man Blondie--you brought back memories of reading Watchtower articles, seeing all those little words they use. They also used to always use the term "thinking persons".
Evidently 'thinking persons' are now leaving the society in droves.

Evidently, in WTS-speak, "wisely" or "it is wise" equals a directive to
