There was an oath that the CRO leaders made which was published in the "ShakeUp2K Pt.2" GN. This oath was the "All for One and the One for All" oath along the lines of committment to implement the S2K standards as leaders. Sorry but I can't really remember much what it said.

Then later in 2000 or 2001 there was the vow of surrender(? which I don't remember so well as I didn't pay much attention to it. In 1997 for the "Feast" pubs there was also a vow-prayer type of thing published that we wrote our names on and we listed the weaknesses and things we were giving to the Lord to forsake and overcome. In 1999 on New year's eve there was a prayer type of vow we were supposed to pray as we washed each others feet.

There's a lot of things like this and if you don't have all the GNs to refer to it's easy to get them mixed up.

There was also ceremonies at different times that we needed to act out. Once a home member was supposed to be dressed up like Jesus while we we took turns making some sort of pledge to each other. It's funny how I usually have a good memory, but I really can't remember some of that stuff so well.
