Obviously the question that should be asked is "Are you one of the Chosen of the Great Lord?" (Assuming Mesaana has had to swear on the oath rod to keep up her disguise)

The Forsaken do not see themselves as Forsaken, Black Ajah, Darkfriends, but as Chosen of the Great Lord. Another question one could ask, considering the Forsaken's general distain for White Tower Aes Sedai, would be "Are you an Aes Sedai of the White Tower?" Judging from the reactions of Lanfear and Moghiedien, Mesaana would have to answer 'no' unless she has literally taken the body of an Aes Sedai.

I'm not convinced. I don't believe she'd want to subject herself to being sworn. lord-of-shadow - 01/12/2009 09:54:40 PM 973 Views
Not just that, but in the AoL, the Oath Rod was used to "bind criminals". *NM* Lord Haart - 02/12/2009 05:41:35 AM 370 Views

Didn't Sanderson say as much? *NM* Tom - 01/12/2009 10:06:56 PM 369 Views

Well, that's just one oath. The other two are not as easy to circumvent. BlackAdder - 02/12/2009 01:19:53 AM 910 Views
But given free will, they can interpret "danger" to mean "clear and present" or "potential danger" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/12/2009 04:54:26 PM 798 Views
Last defense of life cannot mean potential danger. *NM* fionwe1987 - 02/12/2009 05:51:27 PM 315 Views
Yes it can. It all depends on interpretation. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/12/2009 12:22:47 AM 724 Views

None of this is a twisting of the Oaths. Her actions stick to the letter of the Oaths. fionwe1987 - 04/12/2009 04:29:44 AM 796 Views

It only has to be maintained long enough to take the Oaths. *NM* Light in the Night - 02/12/2009 04:51:34 AM 325 Views
Eh, from what we've seen, Keepings don't really work like that beetnemesis - 02/12/2009 06:42:19 AM 854 Views
