There was always the question of how Jesus hands didn't rip through from bearing the weight of his body, but how anyone, perfect or not, could stay conscious and then have a conversation after having a spike driven through his hands and the instep of his feet, is beyond me.
why no one could hang on a stake

Just another religion based in human sacrifice. Mayans, Aztecs, and others sacrificed humans to placate a grumpy God. Catholics absolutely wallow in the bloody death of Christ with a gruesome crown of thorns ringing his head.
Ugh.

There has been actual archaeological findings that show that the Roman form of torture was on a Cross and not a single stake as the WTS. says .
Mind you I haven't heard recently what their stance is on the matter.
.
This is what happens when some poorly educated people take up the position of bible theologians and history academics.
I think the reason the WTS. wanted to show something different than what main steam Christendom perceived or believed
was intensionally to show how wrong they were. , they failed .
