I converted to Jehovah's Witnesses

there is a thing known as forensic science . we do have clues as to how things happen. Jesus and the other two had to be dead before the sun set .that does not happen if hung on a cross. it will take days if hung on a cross . the thing left ,is a pole ,no cross bar to hold the outstretched arms.

That didn't answer my question.

I would have thought a suggestion which both Christians and Jehovah's Witnesses could agree to would be acceptable to both parties.

I don’t want to ignite any contentious interchanges, but I would point out that the JW movement believes it is the only faith group that that can legitimately call itself and its members Christians. They refer to the religion of others who identify as Christians as Churchianity.

maybe you should spend more time with Jehovah's Witnesses ,you would find out who the true Christians really are

Perhaps he was responding to a post that implied that Jehovah's Witnesses weren't Christians?

Just my two cents: I don't know what sociologists of religion would say, or scholars of comparative religion, but I have long been under the impression that heterodox groups like Jehovah's Witnesses, Christadelphians, Seventh Day Adventists, maybe Quakers, and others, are indeed Christian but considered to be, well, heterodox Christian sects.

I see the Mormons (who see themselves as Christian) in a slightly different light. They are so fundamentally different I see them as a distinct Abrahamic faith in their own right.

If I were a scholar I would possibly deeply investigate this and make a treatise upon it. But I'm not, so for now:
Just my opinion.

lots of ways to get it wrong ....one way to get it right

If the understanding of the cross or lack thereof were to be wrong: What then?
Does it change the veracity of the event?
Does it change the meaning of the event?
