what do you guys think?.
are they only some uber religious zealots or do they pursue hidden agendas beyond religiosity?.
They might know whay they are doing today, but they are completely clueless as for the future consequences of what they do and decide today.

the branch won't talk to coc, but they might discuss internally with lgbt jw.'.

A good scientist should stay skeptical and curious about EVERYTHING.
And every scientist whose facts-based conclusion is not supported by Bronze Age writings is not skeptical and curious enough?
