I myself have no problem with others wearing a cross, if thats what floats their boat so be it, today it is mostly worn as just another piece of jewelry by some that do, and those that do not believe in Jesus Christ.
Personally, i would not wear this as a symbol of my faith, if my son was tortured with a knife which then led to his death i would not need a knife hanging around my neck from a gold or any other chain to remind me of this terrible pain he must have gone through before he finally died. I know every day what Jesus done for us, and i love him for it, and i can testify, with a surety not hope but a surety that he and our father in heaven love each and every one of us, or we would not be here today.
So no you do not need a cross, if you need reminding take a look at the smiling faces all around when you go to meetings, and at the babies that are so loved that they need no baptism until they have been around for eight years, at the missionarys who save up their own money to be able to spread the words of heavenly father, this is "The church of Jesus christ of Latter day saints" Not a piece of Jewelry.
Please prey about these things that are troubling you, either on your own or with a couple of missionary's, these guys really know how to get through to heavenly father, they have helped me no end in the past.
