An oath is a promise that must be truthful and only taken when necessary.

In informal language, a person might say, "I swear, I wasn't there!" However, in formal settings, such as in a court room, "I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth..." carries legal consequences.

What makes Jehovah's Witnesses interpretation of the Bible truthful?

Each person must decide for themselves what is truthful. So, while it is truthful to one of Jehovah's Witnesses, it would not be truthful to a person practicing a different faith, because that person would think what he/she believes is truthful. To determine whether or not a person would find out if Jehovah's Witnesses are truthful, one would have to first decide if belief in God is truthful, then would have to be convinced the Bible is the word of God, and then would have to examine the Bible to see if what Jehovah's Witnesses teach is from the Bible. People who have taken those steps have either agreed or disagreed with the interpretation of Jehovah's Witnesses.
