1. Have you ever experienced a sermon that mentions the debate, or preferably a whole sermon on the topic?
No not the whole sermon. Evolution often comes up in some topics as a side point rather then as a subject under discussion.

2. Do you know what the leadership of your local/denominational church believes on this issue?
yes. Every every congregation around the world holds to the direct creation by God. We do not believe in 6 literal 24hr days of creation, we hold to the view that each creative day spanned a very long time. We also believe we are still in the 7th creative day - Gods rest day.

3. Is it ever discussed outside of sermons (so in other additional church meetings, etc.)?
No not that I can think of. No JW believes in darwinian evolution...i doubt you could find even 1 fence sitter on this issue.
Arphy writes:
4. In fact is there any emphasise put on apologetics at all?
Not at all.
The idea has never been entertained as plausible or possible. It has been outrightly rejected from the beginning of my church to today. As far as I'm aware they have never written one word in acceptance of evolution.
