I think it is safe to say that a cross in your yard will not buy you a little piece of Heaven! You will be judged by your deeds!!:pray:

So, essentially you're saying that white crosses aren't religious symbols, and shouldn't be characterized as such. That doesn't mean they couldn't be "lawn ornaments" as a deed restriction might prohibit, but your research as you state it finds no biblical references to white crosses. So, surely they can't be deemed as Christian symbols, right? Of course, insofar as anyone knows, there were no "front lawns" as we would understand them today in biblical times.

No, I'm saying very specifically that unless your religion requires you to put a white cross on your lawn, then the placement of that cross on the front lawn, specifically, as opposed to any other color cross, anywhere else on your property, is NOT protected by "freedom of religion."

You can put that white cross on the doorpost of your house. You can put it in your back yard. You can put it anywhere inside your house and from what some posters claim here, in some of the villages, you can put it under the eaves of your domicile.

The excuse people use for putting them there is "my religion says I should display a cross." And maybe it does. But I've seen no religious text requiring that anyone display a WHITE cross, on the FRONT lawn.

I see political signs in windows so I wonder if crosses and anything else that you might want to display are allowed in the window.

As far as I know there are no restrictions about religious symbols inside the home against the window.

The cross has nothing to do with Christmas!

I agree the rules are the rules and I signed a piece of paper saying I agreed to abide by the rules. However since TV doesn't enforce the rules and relies on the tattletales to do the job for them then the tattletales should turn in everybody that has violations period. Two houses side by side with the same violation one gets turned in the other doesn't that's just wrong period! I'm not talking the white cross to me that's just stupid. Read your restrictions some day when your bored then ride down your block and look around you'd be amazed and that's only the one's you can see in the front yards never mind the rear yard shrub plantings in the utility right of ways etc. Now I'm done I vented for the day! Enjoy your day and be safe!

You signed the rules
 
Anything that affects property values ,I’m against . While I may not mind your theme park of statues across the street, maybe some potential buyers doesn’t want to look at some petting zoo. As for the crosses I sense some arrogance about them
, you know the type I’m a better Christian then you because I show it . I think some of these people would be complaining if there neighbor put up a pentagram in there front yard, just like I want a manger on public land at Christmas but I don’t want a Buddha or atheist symbol . Many people on here wish for the old days here , well I was here in the old days and the family was very strict about rules , the neighborhood watch was around giving out cards even for a few weeds .Im a city dweller and in cities you have chaos and that’s fine and In planned communities you have compliance and that’s fine also
