The facts on crucifixion, stauros, and the "torture stake"
by Leolaia in
1. watchtower
2. bible
finally, 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.

Two Witness Rule Revisited
by dungbeetle in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
...the dungbeetle way.. for the benefit of all the gazillion 'incoming wounded' we have here at jw.com, here is the watchtower molestation issue in a 'dungbeetle' nutshell.

and just to be fair, i will only deal with that information generally available to jw's.

the internal watchtower documents (boe and personal letters from watchtower) are extremely revealing, but they are not available generally to jw's, let alone the public.. 1)much before 1985, an adult jw having raped or molested a child, even a very young one, wasn't considered important enough to devote much time and space in watchtower's literature to the subject.. 2)in 1985, in response i understand to a series of scandals that rocked bethel and are documented elsewhere, watchtower comes out with this gem:.
