Yes, that does need to be told, in pictures.
I can't get Knorr's documents to enlarge so they can be read.

I remember covering this type of stuff when I was younger...... it is okay if you are forced to do so to further kingdom interests.
Excellent scans!
I will be reading your blog regularly now!

Wow! Cool find Marvin. I don't think my Dad knows about this. Actually, I find he knows pretty much next to nothing about the WTS and JWs from the past. Like he told me he didn't remember the 1975 Prophecy of Armageddon's arrival. How convenient! I told him I remembered.
(Just FYI...the first link doesn't have anything displayed at it ... I get a 'Page Not Found' message at the site.)

For those who cant make out the scans the Oath is as follows. "Further, I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I take this obligation freely, witout any mental reservation of purpose of evasion: So help me God."

I tried to figure out how to make my images clickable so readers could open them up for better resolution. Some of my images have this feature and some do not. I have no idea why some do and some don't. If anyone here has some basic [did I mention BASIC] instructions on how to make my images clickable for better resolution I'll see what I can do. One thing I am not is a puter geeker. In case anyone wonders, the images I loaded do have excellent resolution.

A couple of years ago I wrote a short paper briefly presenting the history and meaning of the national oath of allegiance pledged by Watchtower presidents. It is complete with full bibliographical information for researchers interested in the topic.
