Well I just clicked on the enclosed link, and got a dictionary definition of the word "evolution" so I don't have the slightest idea of what you are talking about!
And for your information, we have already sent those links to Simon! Yesterday!

Cofty, this JW lady sent us a message with a question on a point she is trying to verify.Her question: (Isn't the Watchtower teaching a form of "Evolution" right now and my JW family just don't realize it?)Hold on Sandra, grampa (Atlantis), says that (Cofty) is pretty much an expert on evolution and can answer your question more accurately than we can.Sandra, see comments below for more info. (We note there are JW's in the home so we need to be brief.)Sandra's understanding is:
One of the definitions of the word "Evolution" is:
---------------------------------------------------------------
2. the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a
more complex form.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Doesn't the Watchtower teach us that we are going to gradually
develop from an imperfect body to a perfect one? Aren't we taught
that we will take on a more complex physical and mental form once
we are perfect?
2016 Study Watchtower, January pg. 31, par. 11
"11 The bonds of love that we enjoy with God and with fellow humans
may be strong now, but they will be even stronger in the righteous new
world. Think of the work that lies ahead! There will be resurrected
ones to be welcomed back and to be educated in the ways of Jehovah.
The earth will need to be transformed into a paradise. These are no
small tasks, but how joyful it will be to work shoulder to shoulder
and to grow to perfection under the Messianic Kingdom! Those in the
human family will draw ever closer to one another and to their God,
who will without fail “satisfy the desire of every living thing.”—Ps.
145:16."
2012 Watchtower, October 15th, pg. 31, par. 17
"17 What a wonderful future awaits all worshippers of Jehovah who keep
striving to let their Yes mean Yes! For the 144,000 anointed ones, it
will mean immortal life in heaven, where they will share with Jesus in
his Kingdom “and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.”
(Rev. 20:6) For countless millions more, it will mean benefiting from
Christ’s Kingdom rule in an earthly paradise. There they will be
helped to grow to physical and mental perfection."—Rev. 21:3-5.If a persons body and mind change gradually to a higher form than what existed previously,then this is evolution according to my understanding. Do I have the correct understanding? Is the Watchtower teaching a form of evolution?Thanks,Sandra----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LevelThe PlayingField:
I know it, it's always the same old story and sooner or later the people in high places are going to get tired of it. As a matter of fact, they are ALREADY tired of it. The governing body have brought more reproach on Jehovah's name than anyone else.
They just don't seem to understand that the life of a child is more important than any law. Jesus broke laws several times to save a life, but the GB are just to ignorant to take notice.
