text: Jehovah's Witnesses do not use cross in their worship. They believe that Jesus died on a torture stake - an instrument such as that on which Jesus Christ met death by impalement. (Mt 27:32-40; Mr 15:21-30; Lu 23:26; Joh 19:17-19, 25) In classical Greek the word (stau·rosʹ) rendered “torture stake” in the New World Translation primarily denotes an upright stake, or pole, and there is no evidence that the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures used it to designate a stake with a crossbeam. Therefore it would not be suitable to designate JW places of worship, such as Kingdomhalls or assembly halls, with icons that resembles a cross or that contains such. Please provide a more fitting icon to be used on the map. Thank you. (OSM data version: 2016-05-10T14:41:03Z) #mapsme
