  the irony would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.

  that's right, a country that bans women from driving cars is on the un womens rights commission.

  @betterdaze, What the hell are those red hats they're wearing?

  The pink hats were worn at the Women’s March on Washington, the day after Trump’s inauguration.

  

  From the Pussycat Project faq:

  "We love the clever wordplay of “pussyhat” and “pussycat,” buy yes, “pussy” is also a derogatory term for female genitalia. We chose this loaded word for our project because we want to reclaim the term as a means of empowerment. In this day and age, if we have pussies we are assigned the gender of “woman.” Women, whether transgender or cisgender, are mistreated in this society. In order to get fair treatment, the answer is not to deny our femaleness and femininity, the answer is to demand fair treatment. A woman’s body is her own. We are honoring this truth and standing up for our rights."

  Much more complicated than some Westerners' view of Muslim women’s liberation.

  Some background on Saudi women’s harsh slave/master reality. She relates that there are five types of shackles:

  The tribe, the family, religious institutions, the political establishment, and finally society.

  If she manages to escape one, she might enter another.

  i think it would be great if the gb could testify on behalf of the russia brothers they say care so much about.

  if nothing else it would show the dear russian brothers that jehovahs organization has their back.

  and give them moral support.

  Lett and Sanderson supposedly last visited Ukraine and Russia May 10 and 11, 2014.

  I say supposedly because it was all done through video tie-ins.

  We really can’t know if the tough guys from BK HQ ever stepped foot there.

  apparently jehalapeno isn't a 2nd amendment supporter either.... .

  july 17 questions from readers.... the way this part is worded screams cult to me, i was quite amused.. how a christian chooses to protect himself, his family, or his possessions is, of course, largely a personal matter, as is his choice of employment.. geee!

  thanks watchtower for allowing me to "largely chose my own employment" you are a generous cult lol.

  … spiritually mature Christians choose not to keep a firearm for protection against other humans.
  

  But hunting is still okay, right?
  
  Dumbasses located their cult compound inside a 19,000+ acre state forest.
  
  Built the residences right on top of the property line beside a public access path.

  on my commute past 25 columbia heights, i noticed that the large 25'x25' jworg sign has come down.. i'm sure the sentiments of the entire brooklyn heights neighborhood are something like, "don't let the door hit you on the way out.

  ".

  Has the big red WATCHTOWER sign and clock been taken down yet?

  No, not yet. If the plan hasn’t changed, it is supposed to be removed first week of April 2017, same week Warwick HQ opens to the public.

  No idea what they're going to do with it.

  Suffern tenants must move after Jehovah's Witnesses group buys building

  suffern tenants must move after jehovah's witnesses group buys building .

  suffern the nonprofit organization behind the jehovahs witnesses has purchased an apartment complex in the village with plans to use it as temporary housing for members while they work to build a massive new headquarters in nearby warwick, orange county.. the sale of the 48-unit suffern commons at 10-12 chestnut st. closed last week, a spokesman for the watchtower society told the journal news.. the deal forces families in the three-story building to quickly find alternative housing and could mean a loss to the village of $56,000 in annual property taxes if the new owner secures a religious tax exemption which it is interested in, spokesman richard devine said.. before the sale was confirmed, tenants spent the past few weeks anxiously trying to figure out why some of them received notices to vacate by june 30. others who had signed one-year leases or didnt know when their leases were up, like terri fosina-friedman, also have prepared to move.. but the painful process and lack of information from their landlord and the new owner has angered many residents, fosina-friedman said.. im just happy that i got it settled and i got another place to live and my son can stay in the school district, she said.. the watchtower society, the brooklyn-based organization that establishes doctrine for millions of jehovahs witnesses around the world, intends to honor tenants existing leases at suffern commons, devine said.

  he indicated that the society would consider an extension of the june 30 move-out deadline.. were going to work with the tenants, he said.

  Rumor has it Suffern Commons has been put up for sale.

  Good news for Suffern residents who will gain over $50K in property taxes going forward. This must have been a great hit to the schools, police, DPW, etc. that normal, functioning members of society all know they must contribute to.

  These selfish cult people sucked money out of the community. Hope the new neighbors are productive, beneficial types who actually want to live there and support the town.

  “Isn't it disgusting?”

  “That thing that just knocked on my door.”
  

  “You know, the preacher lady. I can't wait until people like that are no more. They hardly ever change and give up their harsh judgements. I doubt she’ll read the science article I gave her explaining that you can’t pray the gay away, you’re simply born that way.”

  There are so many people in this world facing real problems.

  Jehovah cruelly ignores them as he provides chairs for his idiot robot army.
