oath of abjuration

Read a random definition: controlled time

A quick definition of oath of abjuration:

An oath of abjuration is when someone promises, by saying a special oath, to give up something important. This could be giving up their home country forever, or giving up their right to be a king or queen. In the past, people would take this oath if they were in trouble with the law and wanted to avoid punishment. If they took the oath, they had to leave their home and never come back. If they broke their promise and returned, they would be in big trouble.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An oath taken to renounce or give up something, usually by swearing an oath.

Example: Abjuration of the realm was an oath taken by a malefactor who took refuge in sanctuary. The coroner would come and offer the refugee a choice between submitting to trial or abjuring the realm. If the refugee chose the latter, they would leave England dressed as a pilgrim and bound by their oath never to return. Their lands and chattels would be forfeited, and if they returned, they would be treated as an outlaw.

Another example: In English law, the oath of abjuration was an oath renouncing all right of descendants of a pretender to the Crown. This oath was taken to show loyalty to the reigning monarch and to prevent any potential claim to the throne by the pretender's descendants.

These examples illustrate how an oath of abjuration is a solemn promise to give up something, whether it be a claim to the throne or the right to return to a certain place. It is a way to show loyalty and to avoid punishment for wrongdoing.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.

I could never imagine myself doing that on a first date.
Dkk
15:01
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: hope things get better
babycat

@Dkk: what if it’s someone you’ve known for a long time but never dated?
Dkk
15:03
Maybe but things would have to go like perfectly. I could not imagine them going perfectly.
15:04
Sleeping on the first date just isn't my style, idk. I take things painfully slowly and much prefer to befriend and really get to know a girl first before doing any of that
