   Friend james snaged, totally unquestioned,  a small bit from ssome jw   
   publication, likely watchtower.   
      
   The bit in turn was repeating a bit from an author who said some written   
   older languages were more complex then newer versions of them.   
      
      
   Friend james did not explain what that meant as to facts.   
   For example, modern french which derived from latin has fewer verb cases   
   then the latin which can then be said to be more complex.   
      
   Frind james did not understand what he posted.  Jw said it, it must be   
   valid,no?   
      
   The jw bit did not explain if the 5 or so examples he listed represent all   
   4000 or so languages, not even among those with writing he might have   
   discussed but not mentioned in the jw bit.   
      
   Chinese of today is more complex then older forms; for example.   
      
   This is a too frequent jw tactic, it is just down right lying when it comes   
   down to it.   
      
   Jw publications like to lard themselves with the words of non-jw experts,   
   apparently in an attempt to add credability.  Jw do not have such experts,   
   higher education is frowned upon and discouraged.   
      
   But far far too often those are cherry picked words which distort and   
   misrepresent the whole of the experts  thoughts.   
      
   They even go to a more even dishonest level, they will leave out phrases   
   in the middle of sentences and other segments which refute the words the jw   
   are trying to push.   
      
   Here is a short example, on evolution interestingly; that demonstrates this   
   lying practice.  I have others if people are interested.   
      
   Friend janes, go against the jw prohibition on reading what might   
   refute their propaganda and tell us yourr thoughts on this jw exampll
