  The question of the crucifix.

  by quellycatface in

  why do the jw's insist that jesus was crucified on a stake??

  the practice by the romans back in that time was to use a cross.

  i've even heard of some witnesses say it was due to "lack of wood.

  That's the great thing about democracy. We can wear whatever we want on our necks, heads, belts, etc. It is our right, or our wrong. Either way, we are free to do it.

  this may have been discussed, but i just recently was told that a km this past year stated that inactive ones are now to be treated as if they are df'd.

  is this so?

  No, there is no policy to shun inactive ones. Some in the congregation are jerks, and would shun active JW's. Don't judge the ones that do show respect, and follow the example of Jesus.

  I never was a fan of the cross, because of the argument that if your friend was shot but a gun, you really would want that instrument as a jewelry piece to wear around your neck.

  The Reasoning book was really weak in providing a argument about the cross because the source they used was from a bious individual.

  However, in recent times, a professor, Gunner Samuelson has researched the subject, and he favours the stake as Jesus' form of execution. I have also read over that thread of Leola, and appreciate her deep research, and explanation.

  The bottom line is, who knows for sure? We weren't there. Who really should care? Should we really wear it on our necks?

  It's better to be considered a Luke warm JW, than one who is DA'd. It allows you to stay in the family, and at the same time it gives you a time out from expectations.

  Will the jw's get all excited about Russia in the Ukraine?

  usually when world events like this take place the dubs start into how the end must be so close they can almost taste it.

  maybe there will be some speculation about the king of the north and south again.

  Yes, this a sucky rule, and not written down anywhere. If you you have less than 10 hrs a month in FS, you might as well be wearing a beard.

  So they finally are changing these outdated names When are they going to cchange the name, "Pioneer"? That label hasn't made sense for so long.
