Serious question about vows.

Recommended Posts

Duress occurs when a person is coerced by "wrongful conduct".

 

Wrongful conduct is hard to describe but like porn I know it when I see it!

The easy answer is, if you're tricked or under duress then a vow is not binding, ie not done of your free will.

 

On the hand, a holy man may know more then you and the vow though unsavory is for your own good.  So, If you have doubt, I'd have someone you trust, who knows you and the situation be the judge.  If the vow is not horrible, but merely irksome, then even against your better judgement, do it.  It builds character.
