You're absolutely right, mntzion, and most Christians would agree. But the cross is pretty much THE symbol of mainstream Christianity. So the Watchtower has tried vigorously to prove it is a phallic symbol from pagan idolatry so lend support to their charge that all other "Christendom" is demonic. To lend support to this, tout that Jesus was impaled on a single upright stake (also well-known to be a pagan phallic symbol, btw). It is because THEY make a big deal out of it that presenting the evidence that they are wrong is a topic of interest on a board like this.
