While their friends are stealing the country they are trying to divert our attention so we don't notice. The afterbirthers like Donald Trump are still going on about President Obamas birth cerificate. People having no health insurance, women being paid less than men, corporate greed. All umimportant to them compared to the issue of two people of the same sex (who may have already been living together for years) wanting to get married so they can have the same rights as everyone else.
As for the Watchtower they have always been about the petty. Smoking, long hair, beards, women wearing slacks. All stupid little issues that have nothing to do with anything important yet to the WT they are eternal life or death issues.
