This has been going on all over the U.S, and is at least 12 years old.
I was a Police Officer and when I took office I had the option of

>I have noticed lately when I have been sworn in, the court is using the language "do you swear or affirm". This relieves the explaining I usually have to provide to the court. Don't know if that is just in the county I live in, which has many Brethren families, or if it is a trend across the country. (By the way, I am not doing this because I am in trouble with the law, it's my job!)
