I wear religious jewellry less often. Perhaps a sign of my emancipation, I most often wear my own initials these days.
Would You Wear Religious Jewelry Comfortably Now???

Don't feel weird. Remember, JWS say that Christ wasn't put on a cross......so it's ok!

No, at least not now. Jesus and I have gotten close enough that we argue constantly.
Seriously, it's not just the jaydub superstition that has me leery of crosses; it's the 2,000 years of Christian mean-spiritedness, starting with Irenaeus and Athanasius and working forward to Fred Phelps. I'll have to work much harder before Martin Luther King, Jr., Howard Thurman, Bishop Spong, etc., are the first names I associate with Jesus.
I do have a keychain emblazoned with "Jesus Is My Boy Toy," though.

I know my folks would give me hell for wearing a cross but if I thought they would leave me alone I'd wear an upside down cross with Jesus nailed to it.
