I'm interested to hear what others think on the topic of oaths.
To me they are binding at a deep level affecting karma and should be taken very seriously. This is why I think the wording of the oath needs to be considered from a very legalistic point of view (and why I walked away from BOTA after seeing how open-ended the oath they were asking of me was - it would of been nicer if they'd been up front about the content of the oath for prospective members).
Also, do people differentiate between oaths, promises, and pledges?
