When you get babtised, you agree to follow certain rules (like not questioning stuff like 1914, 607, blood-ban etc...) That basically means you are not supposed to think for yourself about those issues. If you do, and see that it's mosly bull, you either DA yourself or get kicked out, either way, U'll be shunned. You are therefore basically making an oath in that sense that you promise to stop thinking about religious issues and breaking that promise means punishment. If a person seconginzes that he/she is a part of that organisation, that means tha same thing. JW use words in a way that makes them mean different things then if a worldly person would use them. like a Cristian doesn't mean the same thing in JW-land as in tha real world. Reckognizing that you are part og Jehovahs organisatian means you promise to follow their rules...that is an oath.
