As a solar-phallic symbol, I have no problems with it at all. It symbolizes generation and regeneration... birth, life, death, rebirth...
I have observed that many people wear crosses that have no religious identity
To me, it is a pagan symbol borrowed by the church to represent the way their savior died I'm with bigdreaux, I think it's weird that people revere a symbol of pain and death.
My laws, it is the death of our dear Lord Jesus is what brings salvation, and the applying faith in his shed perfect blood to atone for all humans who have died so that they can live again as well as those alive now or those in some other point in time who learn about him
Here are some quotes from past posters, I know this is hashed and re-hashed but I would be curious to know if anyone in the jw day's has ever really gotten an answer from a religious
person who wheres or has them in there home "What does the symbol truly mean to them" Or best yet I would like a Catholic to express their view of the meaning to them.
My take on this talking about the trinty etc to a family member which gets you know where is this, "I think most people look at their cross and thank Jesus for what he has done for them.
Am I just too far removed from the jw's that satan has corrupted my thinking and reasoning power. As I'm sure I'd be told. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
