#34 Watchtower Phallicies And The Cross- Quick Questions For Jehovah's Witnesses

Quick Questions For Jehovah's Witnesses is a series of quick questions for JWs (hence the name) and other interest parties to ponder. The answers to the questions just might be a little more revealing than most JWs would want to admit.

The JWs are usually pretty quick in responding to my videos. I find it interesting that one week after posting this, there are ZERO comments from JWs.

If Jesus was crucified on a tree, what did he carry to the tree? The cross beam maybe?

[EvidenceMinistries]

@JAT002- Yes, that is what most scholars believe.

Unbelievable... Do all of these odd religions seek to use a phallic symbol for some unknown reason? BYU smart guys have decided the phalic symbol on Josephs Egyptian papyrus is the Mormon priesthood. Must be testosterone driven thinking / a bit of stupid.

[EvidenceMinistries]

@awolLDSasap- I think it is more than a "bit" stupid.

[DeadeyeSteve]

To answer the question (though I am not a JW)...

. "No."

[this just to help out the JWs, in case they were uncertain]

@DeadeyeSteve- LOL!

Hahaha, the JWs are clueless and dishonest. They say he was impaled on a pole but show he was nailed to its surface instead. Believe it or not, it is actually easier to nail someone to a pole with a crossarm than without. With his arms racked out, he can't resist as much. And the crossarmed poles (crosses) usually had projecting seat also, and it increased the shame factor 1,000%.

There was also a votive-victory cross called a tropaeum. The JWs strain at this gnat and swallow their camel!

Thank you so much.

@EvidenceMinistries Hi, I'm a JW. I thought alot about the cross issue myself. I grew up Catholic,and boy, oh boy, I LOVED my crosses! Well, I took a good, hard look at it. I kept finding out as much as I can.I was 12 years old, and I remember painting an Egyptian painting I copied out of a book for my aunt on a trunk she wanted to sell. The man (priest) with the jackal head held a cross symbol. So I remembered that and I did more research and found they had many types of crosses.RESEARCH MORE!

New heights of stupidity have been discovered.... I never knew they could fly so high. Thanks for the video Kieth.

[LeftyBlue]

Me thinks the JWs need to look up the definition of the word "phallic".

[Gusdaberean]

Keith You are too much ROFL!!!!! LOL!!!!! And a very valid POINT!

[TheSnarkyApologist]

As we know, the Watchtower LQQKS for things they can use simply to separate themselves from from Orthodox Christianity.

Jesus is NOT God.

Salvation by works.

Death on a torture stake.

Jesus is Michael.

The Holy Spirit is an invisible energy force.

etc, etc, etc.......

[JAT002]

@apologeticsman Correct.

I did some research. If Jesus was nailed to a pole with his hands over his head, he would have died very very quickly from the inability to breath (half hour maybe). This would not satisfy the Roman desire to make the victim suffer. Nailing the hands stretched out on a cross beam prolonged the death for hours or in some instances, days. We know Jesus was nailed to the cross in the 3rd hour and died in the 9th. 6 hours.

Give a guy a title and power and the cup runneth over with pride and boasting.
