	Promise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A promise is a transaction between two persons whereby the first person undertakes in the future to render some service or gift to the second person or devotes something valuable now and here to his use.
		But in contract law the word promise is commonly used to refer to promises which result in the promisor's word justifying expectations of performance from which a legal duty will arise in term of results.
		In Christianity, a distinction is made between simple promises and oaths/vows, with only the latter being seen as involving a deity (either as witness to the promise or recipient of it).

		Guilt, poor decisions, potentially harmful decisions, and harm to family members can all come out of promises made in the heat of a crisis, at a moment when one is fearing a greater harm to another family member, or even simply made in ignorance of what the promise might entail in the long run.

	Why you should not promise a feed of fish
		Promising to bring home a feed of fish is the absolute kiss of death to any chance of catching anything but a large heap of derision.
		Undue fervent confidence rolls the promising voice into unique sonic wave patterns that first permeate the air around the boaster, and then dive into the water, to travel rapidly and accurately to every fish in the foreseeable vicinity.
		It is probable, but more research is needed, that the opening of freezer doors by wives as you leave on a fish feed promise trip, actually acts as some kind of amplifier for the promise, enhancing its transmission to fish.

		Promises sets out to give them a means to tell their story and give a voice to their hope for a different, better future.

		God’s covenant promises are for individual men, their households, their "little ones," and even with those not yet born.

	Theatre Review - Promises, Promises (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		There is no simple arithmetic about the theater: sometimes a show with noticeable deficiencies in one area more than makes them up in another and comes out ahead with a winner.
		Promises, Promises is simply a very dated show.
		The orchestra is recorded, a deplorable necessity, if necessity it be, and the actors' voices, singing and speaking, are amplified, which would be unfortunate if it were called for, but which is flatly absurd in a 400-seat house where the maximum distance is eleven rows, for heaven's sake.

		He saw in his dream that wondrous ladder which for all true believers unites earth and heaven, and surely where the foot of the ladder stood he must have a right to the soil, for other wise he could not reach the divine stairway.

		The fact is that politicians who win elections do try to carry out all or most of their promises and a large majority of promises are actually carried out.
		The conclusion: campaign promises are a strong predictor of a wide range of post-election legislative actions.

	OFFOFFOFF film review PROMISES Israeli/Palestinian documentary movie about Israeli and Palestinian youths dialogue by ...
		The prematurely politicized Jerusalem-area kids of the documentary "Promises" have a chance to break through the barriers that perpetuate hatred between Jews and Palestinians.
		"Promises" is an inspired documentary that tries to find the last shred of innocence in the Middle East by interviewing kids on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian hostilities about their lives.
		And yet, if there's one big point to "Promises," it's that nothing can change while physical and psychological barriers keep the sides from speaking even one word to each other.

		A: PROMISES was shot in Jerusalem and the West Bank primarily in 1995, 1997, 1998 and 2000 during a time of relative calm, after the Oslo Accords had been signed and before the most recent intifada (uprising).

		A: PROMISES is available on DVD and video (NTSC) for educational or institutional screenings, as well as for home video.
