  Like so much of what JWs seem to believe I don’t understand their obsession with the stake, the tree and the cross. Do JWs question that Jesus’ execution was ordered by the Romans (Pontius Pilate)? Most historians have found that the Romans preferred method of execution was crucifixion. Crucifixion involves affixing the condemned to a cross. I suppose there can be some valid discussion as to whether the cross was formed by affixing the cross beam to a tree or a stake, but you still end up with a cross. The only variation I am aware of is the crucifixion sometime takes place on a cross that is formed as an “X” rather than the most often depicted “T”.

  can anybody please help me out with some links on the cross versus torture stake debate either on jwd or external sites?

  i know there was a thread on here not so long ago but i can't find it.. also, if any of you long time posters can recommend any outstanding ones from the deepest recesses of jwd which you might have kept as favourites, i would be most grateful.

  i have to go offline for a while now so many thanks in advance for your help.. emo

  Will this topic ever be resolved? It seems to me that a cross is formed by attaching a crossbeam to a stake; the result is crucifixion. That would be the case whether the convicted is tied/nailed to the crossbeam before it is affixed to the stake or after. One of many good links on the topic is http://www.religiousstudies.uncc.edu/jdtabor/crucifixion.html
