  Quoting out of context - ever justified?

  jw literature on subjects such as creation vs. evolution often quote out of context, with the most recent material (the newest brochures) acknowledging that often those quoted to support the jw viewpoint do believe in evolution nonetheless.

  sometimes indeed quotes in jw literature are just outright misquotes, leaving off preceding or succeeding words (or sentences) that would completely alter the meaning of the source sited (i.e.

  carl sagans quote, the fossil evidence could be consistent with the idea of a great designer is indeed a flat out misquote).. .
