I can't believe I ever went around knocking on doors talking about this cross/stake shit with people, actually believing I knew more about it than them.
Mentally face palming myself right now, if I could go back in time I would be bitch-slapping myself.
Why be such a stickler, only the witnesses. If the news reported, a man shot standing
against an oak tree shot in the head, you would wonder what's the point in mentioning the oak tree.
WTH, the man was killed. Who give a crap if he was standing on his head, the man was killed.
The WTS's intent was to show how main stream Christendom got it wrong , since they are false religion and they are not, ironically the WTS is wrong about the single stake verse the Cross stake.
While I personally don't care, my loved ones think this is a big deal so being able to discuss it with them and make solid scriptural and historical points is important. Well, was important, we don't have those types of discussions anymore.
Leolaia's thread was the best and most complete thread on this subject I've read.
I could not care less, but I do love proving the JWs wrong and liars on this subject. It was mentioned earlier, but they quote many things out of context to support their unorthodox stance on this subject.
Physically he could not have hung in that manner for the amount of time the bible says he was on there hanging, especially after the beating he took all night.
He probably carried the patibulum as the stauros would have already been in the ground. He would have had to carry a 15ft telephone pole, 4-5ft under ground and 7-9ft above ground. I've cleaned up fallen trees after storms and lemme tell you, wood is heavy. That's a 2 man job easy, carrying that "stauros" for a mile or longer. The patibulum was much smaller and lighter than the stauros.
Anyways, I'm just sayin. probably went on too long on this subject.
