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.
My Struggle said:Here is what I got from someone when I was a JW......
I often have a cross around my neck. Mine is a reminder of what Jesus came to do for man.
Thank you! Thats exactly what I wanted to know straight from the mouth of a non witness.

why is it the sanctity of life (which i believe was the first consideration in jewish law) set aside for this sick practice.
this fight has to be won.
She has a lot of hurt going on here, I hope she can find a measure of peace & help to somehow to deal with the pain and anger she feels. She is speaking out to others, perhaps as she mentions it helps her to keep going. The truth of the matters concerning jw teachings needs to be known.

for me - rarely would be the correct word.
i don't miss the indoctrination.
i don't miss the wasted time in service.
Ah Yes the ready made friends, the ones who pretend to be your friends because its the christian duty thing. Its funny after leaving I thought I had loads of friends not one
called to see what was up? I do have the hubby we hang out all the time, we never made friends on the outside before so I agree it is hard at times. We do have lots of acquaintance's
I guess that's the extent of our socializing. We try to keep busy. We golf in the summer and watch sports, I love Curling, and we've gone to some the whl games. I guess we used to be
accused of being self a satisfied as a couple. I imagine we are. That's what happens after 30yrs.

i have observed that many people wear crosses that have no religious identity.
Some people wear them to let others know they are Religious, some wear them because they are pretty
Barbie doll- I understand this but do Catholics I guess in particular they look down on their neck do they think of Jesus not just the jewlrey and what he did not how he died?
This is what I'm getting at has anyone ever been told this in your door to door days? I guess I always wanted to ask someone this.
For what it's meant to mean in a conservative Christian view, I'd go with
apostle Paul boasting in the cross (Gal.6:14)--the cross just being symbolic for
what Jesus did for those of faith in the meaning of it, etc.
Glenster- thanks I will brush the dust off my bible and read that.
the last week or so, i've had recurring dreams of elders coming after either me or my wife (who is still a believer).
for example, i dreamt elders were accusing us of being apostates and were demanding a meeting with us.
they were citing lack of regular meeting attendance as the reason for their suspicions.
Funny thing isn't it, I've also been in the astrology section or self help books out of curiosity wanting to browse thru the books looking over my shoulders, better yet watching the door when
I've thought of buying a lotto ticket. And its been 10 years since I've started the fade. Probably 5-6 that I have not been through a KH door. Can you ever get past it till your totally out?

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?
