Crucifix Removal

[Poly Ester]

This is actually quite big news here in Ireland,  most hospitals here are full of crucifix and other religious icons... evidently you can now ask for them to be removed for the benefit of your health.. I must remember this 😁

Interesting.  

 

We have a hospital here that is very favorable to Witnesses and has a bloodless program.  The downside is it's a Catholic hospital and crucifix are everywhere.

Would it be disrespectful to hang your hat on a cross?

I see their presence as an opportunity to converse. Respectfully of coarse. Remember it wasn’t that long ago that we too had the wrong idea about the cross and used it in our own literature . The Photodramma of Creation was rife with the image.

Speak for yourself. I am not that old. I'm only 2/3 of a century old not over a century.
