What happens when you are asked to swear on the bible? Are JW’s allowed to now? What if you are an atheist? Last time I was asked to swear on the bible (When I was a dub) I refused and the lawyer looked most dumbfounded. He said in his 20 years he had never had anyone refuse and had to ring one of his lawyer mates to find out what to do. I was surprised that “in his 20 years” he had never had any JW’s before. Next time I think I’ll ask if I can swear on the Karma Sutra instead.

Hippy,
Where were you asked to swear only on the Bible?
In Oz there is the option in the courts of swearing on the Bible or making an affirmation.
