Rutherford praised the cross before reversing; the 1932 booklet What Is Truth introduced the stake
Rutherford — the same man who would later label the cross a pagan symbol — wrote glowingly of it in Harp of God: "The cross of Christ is the greatest pivotal truth of the divine arrangement from which radiates the hopes of men." The 1932 booklet What Is Truth introduced the torture-stake image.
This Rutherford contradiction is a significant internal inconsistency in Watchtower history. The same leader praised the cross and then condemned it as pagan within a few years.
