Q&A: Does the Watchtower's New World Translation include a sign above Jesus's head on the stake?

Did Jesus Die on a Cross or a Stake? Here's the Evidence. 00:38:11 – 00:38:41

A viewer asks whether the New World Translation includes the Gospel detail of a sign above Jesus's head, since that detail would complicate the torture-stake theory.

Winger believes it does include the sign, and notes that a sign above a stake with hands overhead is less naturally "above his head" than a sign above the crossbeam of a lowercase-T cross. Once a crossbeam is established, the lowercase T becomes the only viable option.
