While Jehovah's Witnesses did (like the early apostles - see Acts chapter 1 verse 6) have an unclear understanding of the significance of 1914, they accurately predicted many years before that it would mark a turning point in mankinds history.

Thus for some 35 years prior to 1914 they announced it would be a momentus year and as the history books will tell us, 1914 was indeed! What the history books do not mention though is The Bible indicates this time would mark the end of the "genitle times". Jehovah's Witnesses did not however have a full understanding as to what those times would mean for faithful christians. Like the apostle Peter when he misunderstood God's purpose in connection with the Messiah, they had to reajust their thinking when it was revealed there was much more work to be done before anointed christians would gain their heavenly positions.

To my knowledge no special robes or attire were worn during that time period.

Why people are pushing into the bus?

It's much safer than pushing out of the bus. Waiting on buses can lead to a different sort of pushing as the annoyance of wasted time waiting on unreliable transportation becomes more than the average person can bear. Who wants to enter a crowded bus? Those who no longer care to wait for the next crowded bus. Excuse me, pardon me, excuse me. Is that seat taken? No, no, no. That's o.k., I'll stand. (Sigh) Excuse me, pardon me. (sigh), STOP REQUESTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have to stand when the pledge to the American flag is done?

There is no law requiring you to do so. If you feel patriotic and wish to participate in the pledge, then stand, put your hand over your heart, and recite it. You can also stand respectfully and remain silent if you have any objection to the pledge (e.g. some people do for religious reasons, or for political reasons). Sitting while others stand and recite the pledge is your right, but people will undoubted be offended by this so be prepared to engage in a conversation with people about your decision.
