| | | | Religious symbolism: Encyclopedia II - Doctrines of Jehovah's Witnesses - Religious Symbols The group categorically rejects the use of images or icons in worship as they believe this violates Biblical prohibitions against idolatry. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that an idol is any image or symbol that is an object of intense devotion, veneration, or worship; whereas, other Christian denominations would disagree.
Regarding the cross as a religious symbol, Jehovah's Witnesses cite three additional reasons why Christians should not use it as a symbol for Christianity.
