if your friend died with a gun, would you wear a bullet around your neck. or your friend was killed with the electric chair, would you wear a chair around your neck. people say they don't worship the cross or idols, but they do. look in many churches, there are many idols in the church and people wear fancy crosses around there neck. please read Psalms chapter 115 verses 4-8. please no rude comments
please read those scriptures in the king james bible
how do you think Jesus feels when he sees people worship the cross or idols?
Answer
First let me say Christ never died on a cross. Crosses are Pagan originated. So using it is not only reproachful but also disrespectful. Christ died upon a tree or an upright pole. Found a very detail article...not from the Watchtower site. For those who seem to disagree with it not realizing Jehovah's Witnesses upon acknowledging this false practice, let it be known to all.

Quotes from the article...pages 1 & 2
It is not likely that Jesus actually hung on a cross at all but instead hung on a tree, stake, or pole. The original gospels written in Greek used the word "stauros" to refer to the structure used for execution. This word means a vertical pole with no crossbar. Jesus may have been hung on a tree (Acts 5:30) (1 Peter 2:24)
Since crosses were used as symbols of the Babylonian Sun-god, it could be said that Constantine was a Sun-god worshiper! As you can see, the symbol of the cross dates back to pre-Christian times. The words "cross" and "crucify" are nowhere to be found in the Greek of the New Testament. They are mistranslations. Constantine was a big instigator in uniting Sun worship and Messianic Faith. In order to increase the prestige of the church, he allowed pagans into the churches along with their signs and symbols. The "T", or cross, was one of these symbols. It seems Jesus and "cross" are not really linked at all.
What does the bible says about Idols or images in worship to him?
1Â Cor. 10:14: âMy beloved ones, flee from idolatry.â (An idol is an image or symbol that is an object of intense devotion, veneration, or worship.)
Even various people, particularly the Rock Stars, bikers even some Satanist tattoo the symbol of a cross. Are they God fearing? Just think it is due to it's Pagan origin.
Ex. 20:4, 5, JB: âYou shall not make yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven or on earth beneath or in the waters under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them.â (Notice that God commanded that his people not even make an image before which people would bow down.)
(Psalm 115:4-8) Their idols are silver and gold, The work of the hands of earthling man. Â 5Â A mouth they have, but they cannot speak; Eyes they have, but they cannot see; Â 6Â Ears they have, but they cannot hear. A nose they have, but they cannot smell. Â 7Â Hands are theirs, but they cannot feel. Feet are theirs, but they cannot walk; They utter no sound with their throat. Â 8Â Those making them will become just like them, All those who are trusting in them.
(Ezekiel 8:13-14) 13Â And he continued on to say to me: âYou will yet see again great detestable things that they are doing.â 14Â So he brought me to the entrance of the gate of the house of Jehovah, which is toward the north, and, look! there the women were sitting, weeping over the [god] Tamâ²muz.
In ancient Israel, unfaithful Jews wept over the death of the false god Tammuz. Jehovah spoke of what they were doing as being a âdetestable thing.â According to history, Tammuz was a Babylonian god, and the cross was used as his symbol. The cross origin comes from him, a pagan sun god who's name began with "T".
(Acts 17:29) âSeeing, therefore, that we are the progeny of God, we ought not to imagine that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, like something sculptured by the art and contrivance of man.
(Galatians 3:13) Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse instead of us, because it is written: âAccursed is every man hanged upon a stake.â (What happened to Christ was not something to be venerated, he was done unjustly. It was reproachful to God! It was considered a bad thing, that is why it uses the word accursed.) The fact that he died in our behalf is to be remembered and appreciated by our actions; not by what man done to him out of ignorance.)
(John 4:24) God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth.â

tattoo rant?
John
So hear me out. I do think tattoos are very sexy on women. a lot of people are getting tattoos all the time. a lot of my friends. tattoos can look great. I support people doing whatever they want to do with they're body.
Tattoos are sexy on women to an extent. The only thing is that a lot of the girls just want more and more tip they look bad. I've dated girls with tats. they look sexy but they show me pics of girls like kat von d and other girls who are covered head to toe in tattoos. and they say they want to look like that. and honestly kat von d looks not very sexy at all. its like too much. so many once super hot girls become just not sexy with that many tattoos. thats my deal sometimes. it just seems like girls who get them look sexy at first but once they get em they start just wanting more and more til they look horrible.
what are you're guys thoughts? I know people are free to express themselves but I feel like people now a days are just gonna over do it.
Answer
I think women with tattoos look sexy. I have a few but would like more. But I do think that a woman crosses a line when they have them on there chest and neck. Those places seem abit blokey for me. But each to their own lol x
