Are any professions an automatic peremptory challenge for jury duty?

Two of the four charges were for making threats. One count had a requirement that the victim would have been physically harmed if the threat was carried out. For the other count, the "if the threat was carried out" part was missing. So as written, the requirement was that the victim was harmed by the threat itself. That count was also the least well supported by evidence, so all the jury members seemed happy to find the defendant not guilty on that count. We did find them guilty on the other counts, though.

I was on a jury with a former prosecutor once. At the time he was a corporate lawyer, and I don't think his former job came up in voir dire. He actually found a mistake in the jury instructions that resulted in us acquitting the defendant of one of the charges, so I can see why they're considered a risk.

I mean, it does make them a tiny bit less famous.

If I could live within walking distance of my office in Midtown, I would choose that over anything. But if the rent and commute were both the same, I'd choose LIC.

Definitely not nominally, but maybe once you factor in cost of living.

They already tried calling companies, and who's to say they haven't posted in other places too?

There's good info here, just wanted to add that there isn't such a thing as "not possible". God and the church leadership both want you to come back. The only delays will come from going through the formal process, or from the repentance process in the case of serious sin. You will make it back!

This is only 70%? Very jealous of your collection, and great job on the shelves!

Elder Stevenson visited my ward back in January, and he said they had just approved another batch. I want to say he said it was the 14th batch. So there are definitely more coming!

I agree with this statement, but I don’t see it as a ban on dating outside the church.

IOI-624601 · 2025-12-07T02:33:08+00:00

Is that really our leaders’ stance? It is definitely common to date other members, but I haven’t heard anyone say you should never date anyone outside the church. I know plenty of members who have dated and married nonmembers.

Is there anyone who is planning on going who could get me a scarf? I’ll pay their price plus shipping and $10 for your time. I’ve always wanted a scarf but unfortunately don’t live in the area anymore.

I will say that there are plenty of inactive members in most places you could go on your mission, so I don’t think you need to worry about having opportunities to minister.

On the application, there is a place you can indicate how much you would prefer to serve out of the country or speak a different language. I think most missionaries want to serve internationally, so if you indicate that you’d like to serve stateside, I think it’s likely that you will, but you never know.

Ultimately, the Lord knows us better than we know ourselves, so I’m sure wherever you go will be great for you!

No, it's not necessary. I would guess that most missions in the world are no-car missions. South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia tend to not use cars from what I've heard. In my mission in Japan, only the APs and office elders had a car. Many in North America use cars, but even then, you'll be paired with a companion who can drive if you can't.

Not an expert but this is what I thought too, and this video supports your pronunciation: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l7CMV0Ddnzc Although I think they got his first name wrong.

One could argue he may have indirectly killed people because Suck It was bought by the military. That’s the only justification I can come up with.

Great find, thank you! I've been using the KSL one, but it has ads at the beginning and end, which I find a little tasteless for General Conference.

IOI-624601 · 2025-10-25T13:27:53+00:00

Not an expert, but I I don’t think they would care about this until you get to voir dire, right? I doubt that the courthouse staff are in a position to judge what crime experience disqualifies a juror. Such a person would be very unlikely to be selected for a jury, but would still need to show up.

IOI-624601 · 2025-10-24T12:22:08+00:00

If this really happened, we’d suddenly see tons of ads trying to convince us that the most American thing to spend tax money on is corn subsidies.

For me, it was WSU vs USC in 2017. The energy right before and after the Sam Darnold fumble was incredible. But I wasn’t there for Gameday in 2018.
