then what good is a vow?
Depends on what the vow is. It is impossible to remain friends because of a vow. If all that holds you together is obligation to a vow, then it is not a real friendship, and therefore your vow is broken anyway.

yea there's not much of a choice. just wondering how to deal with the feelings and make sure it doesn't happen again. i understand there will be conflicts between gospel-preachers and other doubtful people, but the two people in this story are Christians, and both are expected to abide by a certain high standard of behavior and character. I wouldn't expect a heathen to keep their promises, but I do expect Christians to, since they have been born again.
If you started talking like this after you were born again, then you may have to resign yourself to this happening again and again with any reasonable friends you still have.
