"Truth is decided by cold hard evidence not feelings."
"FFS"

Sounds like you've got some strong feelings for evolution there, Cofty.
Maybe you should stick with the cold hard facts.π
"And our genome testifies to our close ancestry to other primates.
Exactly the same sort of genetic evidence that is used to prove paternity shows beside all doubt that we share a common ancestry with all other living things."
Your feelings are blinding you to the truth, Cofty.
Our genome shows that our creator used similar types of code in different organisms He created, but that we all have only one human ancestor and not a bunch of different mutating so-called hominids. Our genome shows the truth of the Bible account in Genesis.

If truth doesn't involve feelings, then why do you get angry about discussing it? (I'm not saying it's wrong to be passionate - I am just making the observation.)
Evolution doesn't explain the heart. The "evidence" doesn't fit.
The conscience is not designed for "advancement of the species" like some kind of sexual competition for passing on genes the way evolutionary theorists purport.

I am evidence that Jehovah exists. I am here because He sent me by means of His holy spirit. I am telling you openly that I am a witness of Jehovah, because of Jehovah's love and mercy, because He exists and He has witnesses. I am not here because I like forums. I am a witness of Jehovah's existence.
Show me a witness of evolution, even one person who can say that evolution sent them. There isn't one. Why not? No person evolved. No one was there to see it because it didn't happen. The reason the scientists have to keep changing their stories is because their stories have so many holes in them, they have to "evolve" the stories. The story of evolution is a story of fiction.
There were witnesses to the creation of man. Jesus saw it. He was part of it. He was there and helped with their creation. He came and talked about it. If you don't believe his witness, then you will soon, because he's coming back again, and you can tell him to his face that you don't believe in him if you want, but I think he'll laugh at you.
He has sent many witnesses over the years and been with them when they told the truth about God, but people laughed and didn't want to believe. That's fine. It doesn't change the truth about God and the truth about creation.
I did not evolve. I am here genetically descended from Adam, who was created by God. You can do a genome test if you want. We all have a common ancestor because we were created.
while most talk about the end of reporting for publishers, i think the doctrinal change is even bigger.. repentance after start of gt still possible?
what does that mean for the judgement message, they pushed a bit lately?.
will that be really just before armageddon?
If you love someone and you find out you hurt them, you ask for their forgiveness.
Every person who is imperfect has something to repent about, because we hurt people without even trying. And we hurt God too sometimes, even if we don't mean to.
It's not bad to say sorry. The guy on the torture stake next to Jesus had been really mean. He made fun of Jesus even though Jesus never did anything bad. When he realized what a jerk he'd been, that man apologized.
There are a lot of people who have been really mean to God, even though he's never done anything bad. Some religious people tell lies about God. Some nonreligious people say horrid things about God. He will forgive those people when they apologize if they really mean it in their hearts. It's not because of "the plan" - it's because that's what good Dad's do.

If a computer programmer uses a similar section of code in multiple apps, is that evidence of evolution? No. It's evidence of a creator.
No computer program designed itself. Even AI has a designer.

"Maybe the WT leadership is worried..."
WT leadership is worried about losing $$$$$π€π€π€. They don't care about the people - it's their wallets they care about, just like Judas. "This could have been sold and given to the poor..." yeah, right, Judas/FD$. The WT leadership just wants it ($$$) in their pockets.
"During the centuries that followed from the first century different churches appeared and more and more have appeared. And they exist today. Are their members either "weeds" or "wheat" from Jesus' illustration?
Then there are Muslims, Hindus, Buddists, were do they fit in?
And the fact is that they even in a far lesser dergee are interested in the good news about Jesus."
God is patient. He is holding the door open to everyone. He knows there are people who haven't had a chance to learn about Jesus. There is a reason the 1000 year reign is a thousand years. It's going to take time. He's not going to kill people just because they were born in a different nation or at a different time. He is reasonable.
The wheat and the weeds illustration was an illustration for Christians about the hypocrisy and apostasy that would happen within the Christian congregation. That God is patient and loves people from all different backgrounds and religions is apparent from the fact that He provides sun and rain for everyone every single day.
Eventually everyone will know that He is Jehovah, but in the meantime He's not going to slaughter people just because some dumb guys who claim to represent him (any of the clergy of Christendom) tell lies about Him.
God is Love. He is forgiving and kind. He is patient, and he is holding the door open for everyone to have a chance, even after Armageddon.
The great tribulation is to remove the religious institutions and the governments. It is the time to tear down. The thousand year reign is to teach the people about Jehovah. It is the time to build up.
The ransom blood of the Christ is enough to cover the people for the sins they committed in their ignorance.
John 10:10
"The thief does not come unless it is to steal and slay and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance."
The WTBT$ are like thieves. They teach what they know. They teach destruction, because they know destruction. The disfellowshipping doctrine is evidence of that. The CSA issues are evidence of that. Their false teachings that reproach Jehovah are evidence of that.
Jesus taught the truth about God. He came to save what was lost. The door is open.
"All things are possible with God."

Jehovah was best friends with Abraham way before the Christ came. Jehovah is best friends with a lot of people who don't even know His name yet, but they know some things about Him. Muslims, believers in the Hindu religion, Buddhists, atheists, whatever...He can overlook their sins because of the ransom, with the knowledge that they will repent later. Jehovah's love will win over the hearts of many of them in time, because it is higher than we can imagine.

The "weeds and wheat" illustration is specific to the Christian congregation. Jesus gave it as an illustration of how false teachings spread in the congregation. It is not an illustration about the entire population of the world.
Jesus forgave the criminal next to him on the other torture stake at the last minute.
John 14:6-10
"Jesus said to him: βI am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you men had known me, you would have known my Father also; from this moment on you know him and have seen him.β
Philip said to him: βLord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.β
Jesus said to him: βEven after I have been with you men for such a long time, Philip, have you not come to know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father also. How is it you say, βShow us the Fatherβ? Do you not believe that I am in union with the Father and the Father is in union with me? The things I say to you I do not speak of my own originality, but the Father who remains in union with me is doing his works."
Jesus showed us the way. He showed us the Father. Jehovah will forgive people last minute who are repentant. He doesn't want to lose anyone. He is a Father, not a murderer. "God is Love."
