  (To the tune of that song 'Do More--As the Nazirites Did')

  1. Evidence--how lacking it can be

  In explaining the truth sometimes!

  Simple facts, supported by scripture--

  Often they are hard to find!

  Evidently fills in the spaces

  Gaps in logic exist no more.

  Can we prove what can't be proven?

  Yes, evidently so!

  2. Scholarship--it can be dishonest

  Ellipses and an unnamed source

  Google it or visit a college

  And the full quote is exposed

  Evidently cuts out the fat and

  We believe it as if it's fact

  Can we prove what can't be proven?

  Yes, evidently so!

  3. Better than mere intimidation

  Evidently has its place

  In explaining truths from Jehovah--

  Sent thru the faithful, wise slave!

  Do we trust this light-giving virtue?

  Keep it in your pure language, so

  When they ask you, "Can you prove it?"

  Say "evidently so!"

  "Ones" is another WTS dehumanizing control word:

  "Theocratic ones will..."

  "Proud, self-centered ones will..."

  Here is a correct use of the phrase in scholarship:

  
  (From Lawrence J. Mykytiuk's Identifying Biblical persons in Northwest Semitic inscriptions of 1200-539 B.C.E. [SBL, 2004], p. 173)

  Notice that everything in the "Evidently" sentence is evident in what is supplied in the immediately preceding sentence.

  Today is a great day!! I can usually pick up the tune of one of those songs the second I see the title but today for the first time I have no idea what the tune of that song I sung thousands of times is.

  I think I am moving on....

  Other jewels that are used -

  It seems likely

  It appears to be

  Apparently
  That expression is used almost as often as evidently.

  The logic is amazing - take it at face value, do not question it, we have done the research for you!
  What did the Boreans do? Carefully researched daily - we can do the same - Bible commentaries are far better than the WTBTS who will not do an objective study of anything. It is all cherry-picked and logic applied in the most extreme, distracted, illogical method. No wonder they say no college education. The professors, scholars and learned laymen tear it all apart.
