Will the IRS Investigate the Watchtower Society?
by ABibleStudent inif you feel that the wtbts is breaking a tax law(s), you can send a letter to investigate the wtbts to the irs to:.
department of the treasuryinternal revenue servicemc 4910 dal1100 commerce streetdallas, tx 75242 .
the irs will investigate complaints about the wtbts, but it will not investigate the wtbts without compliants being sent to the irs.

On abuse cases WT tries to separate the GB from the corporation, but if this is the case would that not affect the WT status as a religion before the IRS?
Either the WT is = to JW for all purposes (as they claim for tax purposes) or they are not (as Lösch claimed in Lopez’s case)
What do you think?

ARE JEHOVAHS WITNESSES CREATIONISTS OR EVOLUTIONISTS?
by Viva la Vida inthe answer to this question is not that easy or obvious as you might think.
if your answer is "creationists" you are wrong, they are evolutionists a rare breed of evolutionists, but evolutionists at last .. at this stage of my argumentation you might think i have lost my mind for stating jehovahs witnesses are evolutionists, but this might be because you are thinking as the wt has taught you to think.
the wt has presented a distorted view of the theory of evolution.

Thanks TD. It seems you really know about this.
I think as someone said they are nothing... but a business. However, I think this kind of analysis can help some people to wake up.

TD – According to WT just 43 “kinds” of mammals, 74 “kinds” of birds, and 10 “kinds” of reptiles; or at best 72 “kinds” of quadrupeds and less than 200 bird “kinds” produced all the species that we see today after the flood (that is 4000 years ago). I think that is stretching a bit the concept of variation between a "kind".
Because the WT didn't list the “kinds” they referred to, we can't know for certain what these are. But due to the reduced number of “kinds” they calculated, I can assumed then that horses, asses, and zebras are of the same "kind" or have a common pre-flood ancestor and that after the flood they evolved in different species. If that is the case, can the WT assert that the horses’ legs were designed as stated in October's Awake?

Mohrb - I was just thinking on this: why ask young JWs at school to defend creation by attacking evolution if, in fact, JWs believe in evolution? Wouldn't be more fair for young JWs to say: "we believe in evolution, but that the process was set up by God"?
Another question: according to JWs "readily observable" idea of evolution, are dogs and wolfs of the same "kind"? What about cats and lions? and Kangaroos and Koalas?
BTW - The Catholic Church has accepted evolution for decades, and JWs bashed it for that... what is the reason if JWs believe in evolution too?

Mohrb - If that is the case with JWs they should stop presenting creation and evolution as two opposing views. Also, if evolution is " readily observable" it is fair to ask "Was it designed?", how do you know if that specific feature they are highlighting in an Awake's article evolved or was created?

KateWild - I see your point, but being objective (not being limited but their own definitions) if they believe in evolution they are evolutionists. They like it or not...
