The facts on crucifixion, stauros, and the "torture stake"
by Leolaia infinally, i will look at biblical and patristic evidence bearing on the crucifixion of jesus in particular.
we need to examine the earliest known descriptions of the kind of crucifixion adopted by the romans and the specific terms they used to refer to it.
apparently the society believes that crux still meant "stake" in the second century a.d., when tacitus composed his annals.

by insearchoftruth inhave been out of touch for a while, i see that there is an 'international' convention this year in landover, md (fed ex field) and there are no english conventions in either richmond or hampton, va. what is an 'international convention', is it merely a consolidation of all the other conventions meant to whip up some fervor amongst the masses?.

"My understanding is that most of the congregations from Richmond north past Baltimore are assigned."
Would that include most of the Virginia Engliish speaking congregations, we are in the tidewater area.

Was able to use the last days teachings from the reasoning book to stop a conversation with someone door to door, in fact just asking to see the reasoning book got him quite squirmish!

The one example I can immediately think of is the section on I think it is last days or end times (not fully sure) but it has a very obvious reference to one of obsolete 'generation' teachings. Very obvious issue!!

From what I have seen there is a lot of 'old light' in the reasoning book and I am very surprised it has not been replaced, or at least a 'new and improved' version posted on the website.

If you are not invited or can not obtain credentials for the international convention what would your options be since it appear that there has been a lot of the 'basketball arena' size conventions eliminated, at least this year. I see two spanish speaking conventions in Richmond and an ASL one at the assembly hall in Richmond, but nothing in English in the mid-Atlantic area.

Can anyone go to the International Convention? Do you need a special invite to get in or is it basically open to the public? I know they discourage random brothers from attending without a special invitation, but Im wondering if there's any way they could stop you.
This is a good question. My wife is a never ending on again, off again study and was wondering if she would be able to attend if it was an 'on again' period or would she require a special invitation?

So with an international convention are a lot of the smaller conventions then not held to better ensure that the venue is filled up....I see there are no conventions scheduled in Richmond, VA or Hampton, VA for English speaking folks, I would assume that is so they will attend the Landover, MD convention, am I correct in this assumpton?
