Learn English – start a sentence with “Whereas”

sentencesentence-starts

The sentence is supposed to be contradicting a previous situation explained thoroughly in the precedent paragraph. The contradiction is on the same subject (in the past/now). Can the sentence be something like "Whereas now ………"?

Would "Now ……" be enough?

I'd like to direct you to the Wikipedia article on conjunctions:

Many students are taught that certain conjunctions (such as "and", "but", and "so") should not begin sentences, although authorities such as the Chicago Manual of Style state that this teaching has "no historical or grammatical foundation"
