JW argument: cross symbol is pagan; cross = apostasy for other Christians

Did Jesus Die on a Cross or a Stake？ Here's the Evidence. 00:02:35 – 00:03:36

The Watchtower extends the stake argument to claim that the cross symbol is a pagan symbol that infiltrated Christianity. Anyone using a cross is therefore practicing paganism. This becomes a recruitment device: become a JW to fix your corrupted Christianity.

The New World Translation replaces "cross" with "torture stake" throughout. The JW framing positions the cross as evidence of apostasy among all non-JW Christians, alongside celebrating Christmas, Easter, and birthdays.
