In the latest Awake magazine in an article "Are Science and the Bible Compatible?" three men of science are referred to and quoted, HENRY SCHAEFER, PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY, Austrian physicist and Nobel laureate Erwin Schrodinger and John Lennox, professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford, England. If you do a google search of these names you will be see that all three have years and years of worldly education to their credit (which is contrary to all things watchtower). Also if you read some of their writings it becomes obvious that their would be not one iota of support for the teachings and doctrines of the society. So the question is why do they do this and the obvious answer is that if they wish to write an article like this they must. They just don't have credible resources of their own. It is worth a quick read about Wayne Qu and his wife on page 21. Totally amazing that they didn't slip in some bull about them giving up all that their education gave them to go pioneering. I also found this interesting "I read the Witnesses' publication Life-How Did It Get Here? By Evolution or by Creation? as well as a work by Charles Darwin on evolution."

JWs have no objection to using the world's resources to advance Kingdom Interests. It is "using the world to the full".

Especially Erwin Schroedinger - a fundemental contributor to quantum theory. The WTBTS is extremenly "Newtonian" in its belief of "either/or" thinking. Whereas Erwin Schrodinger and others in the study of quantum theory (actually proven now - Google "Quantum Drum") believed "things" ascribe to a "both/and" NOT "either/or" the WTBTS could never encourage that kind of thinking.
Erwin was also deeply interested in Hinduism, and rejected Christianity, Judaism and Islamism so he was part false religion in WTBTS opinion. The WTBTS uses what they like and when they like - after all Erwin is dead, what can he do about it?

Yet when they say something that opposes WT teachings there is no way they can be right and theya re "from Satan".

it's not like the r&f will go and look up the quote from the source to see if it was right ... that would be 'independent thinking' and would be bad

WTS and Science does not go together!
The WTS tells lies and put quotes out of the context. They are a expert for some years with this.
Where people get in jail for this practise they do it with Love to their members.
