“Did you take any oath like in post 10 and would you admit it if you did?”

The language is a little different in my jurisdiction, but that’s the general gist of it. At least, the gist of the last line. There’s a lot more to the obligation than what you posted. BTW, they’re obligations, not oaths. An oath is swearing that what you say is true. An obligation is a promise to act in a certain way.

All masons have taken them. I’ve also served as master of my lodge, so I’ve administered them to others.

What’s with the 7 at the bottom of your posts?

I just couldn't imagine as an adult taking part in such a thing, obligation or oath

didn't it strike you as a bit odd the first time you were asked to recite it?

Why the 7?

You can read all silly/sad the details on my home page here but

you'll have to scroll almost all the way to the bottom.

Basically it's just message terminator.

If it's missing you'll know it's not me.

In the quote from GLarry's post #10, "swear" is mentioned four times. Sure sounds like an oath to me.
