    The significance of this "book" may possibly be much greater than a trifling issue like Cross v Stake. It may shed light on early Christian teaching for example.

    It may too establish Jesus as a historical figure.

    There are at least 3 other possibilities, 1: It may be later than 1st century.

    2: it may be earlier than Jesus. (it could be exclusively Jewish, not Christian at all, despite the symbols)

    3: it may be totally fake.

    I shall await with interest the scholarly analysis of these writings.

    IF it is proven real and true

    the Watchtower will quote snippets of sentences that it can twist to its own use and relegate the rest of it to the same waste bin that they have filed all the 587 BCE evidence in.

    All doubt possible will be plastered over it the moment anything they dont like turns up in it.

    As long as nothing is said about it in the Watchtower, 99% of JWs will never know about it and the other 1% are already on the way out for other reasons. JWs are so brainwashed and brain-dead if there were photographs of the crucifixion, they wouldn't care. These are the people who could be told Jesus was clean-shaven, our literal hearts control emotion, God lives in the Pleiades, organ transplants are cannibalism, personality traits can be transferred via blood transfusions, "your leader is one: Christ" includes 80-year-old men in NY, and "generation" means whatever they damn-well tell you it means. These people are barely qualified to be Wal-Mart greeters; do you really think some obscure artifact is going to cause any great upheaval?
