Actually, most of their shows are full of logical fallacies of every sort and are deceptive in their practices. They put up "experts" in areas they dont study! They are just intellectually dishonest. And although i agree with them on a few issues, i have to raise a question to their credibility on even those issues.

Well, JW's claim he wasnt cruicified on a CROSS at all! They think it was a "torture stake"

Well, I was talking about Appolonius, however, as for Jesus the Greek term is σταυρος which translates as a stake or pole, not cross. YMMV.
