  Have you ever been called for Jury Duty? before or after registering to vote?

  i've never been called for jury duty and i'm not yet registered to vote, although i'm hoping to get that done this month.

  i know someone who within a few months of registering to vote was called for jury duty.

  i've read some articles that said voter records 'used' to be used to call on people but that was a thing of the past.

  this is a question to the Americans posting here, I've always wondered, could you, would you serve on a jury with a possible death sentence?

  personally I couldn't, as I couldn't have someone else's death on my hands....but what's your feelings?

  Satan and the demons, ghosts, spirits, fortune tellers. Are they real?

  i believe in god.

  i don't believe he punishes or rewards people.

  so by the same extention i don't believe any spirit beings can communicate with or influence humans.. many who do not believe in god though, have gone to fortune tellers.

  Kate, what do you mean, what is the purpose of cold reading?

  to convince someone that you have physchic powers, with the intended result of financial gain.

  the Indonesian president, SBY, recently spoke out against these monsters, saying that they do not represent Islam.

  Indonesia is the worlds most populous Muslim nation, does that count as some one apeaking out?

  that poor man, and his poor family.

  because people who are grieving will desperately grasp on to what the think is offering them hope.

  fortune tellers use cold reading. there are demonstrations of just how effective cold reading is on the net. have a look and you will be amazed how easy people are to convince.

  there are Imams speaking out against this, they just don't get media coverage, I listened to one only yesterday.

  Good decent Muslims are horrified by this .

  Did you ever call on Catholics and Protestants to publicly disown the northern ireland situation?

  Ferguson Shooting (Is my thinking on this all wrong.......)

  by out4good3 in

  i think everyone here can agree that walking down the street, even in the middle of the street, is not cause for having a clip emptied in your ass......... i can understand how the black community would be outraged by the injustice of seeing another black man dead in the street at the hands of the police under mysterious circumstances....... i hope that i'm not succumbing to the attempts to assinate the already well impuned character of the dead man...... however.

  i can't help but think that this could all have been avoided by exercising the proper discretion with fore-knowledge of the disadvantages people of color have when they are dealing with law enforcement in the united states.

  it is not as if this disadvantage has only since recently came to light.

  The Reason Why JWs Won't Leave The Cult Is Because They Won't Think!

  they simply refuse to think, to reason, to ponder.

  they are lazy!.

  even if they might feel that something isn't right, they won't research an issue or a question.
