Never

partial quote from Belle:
"P.S. After today I firmly feel that all jurors should be chosen by IQ scores only..well maybe emotional IQ scores. Some of these people asked the same questions or asked to have the attorney reinterate a question over and over."

I have been told by many a person that the best way to "get out of jury duty" was to pretend you were hard of hearing. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the game plan here.

I know they're not supposed to pass judgement, but isn't that meant in a moral sense? She's not there to decide the state of person X's soul, after all - she's there to decide whether person X did what they're accused of doing.

I don't think people should be allowed to get out of jury duty for that.

But remember John 8:7 -- Jesus doesn't create any phony loophole permitting one to cast stones if you are just acting as an agent of the legal system and not personally passing moral judgment. Jesus says "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Period.

So I think the JW has a legitimate Biblical basis for refusing jury duty.

Which returns me to my point that it is Xnty that is flawed, not the JWs in their interpretation of it.
