Here’s the difference that I can see- I am free to wear or not wear my cross. Nobody suggested it or encouraged it. Nobody issed me a regulation cross (mine actually cost $10 on the clearance rack at Target) It makes no difference to my heavenly reward.

And who’s fighting?

Oh yeah, and I wear mine where people can see it.

No one forces you to go to the temple, it's a choice, however, like baptism, it's a step toward higher commitment to God. I for one have never felt that I was over committed to God.

A cross like that is jewelery, a Garment is the dimensions it is because we make covenants to dress modestly, it gives us guide lines of "modesty" and we are free to wear or not wear it. We made a covenant; there are many who make covenants lightly; there are many who don't. It's not a requirement of being a Mormon, it is encouraged for everyone who wants to draw themselves closer to God.

If you were reading some of the other posts on this thread to me, you'd not be asking that, LOL!

Have a great day! God bless
