Crucifixes Made Under Horrific Sweatshop Conditions in China

“Jesus, take pity on me! I’m going to die of exhaustion.”
--Chinese worker after 19-hour shift

Isnt it ironic that the cross a symbol of suffering in Roman days, a symbol of liberation for Christians around the world, is now once again an object of suffering for workers in horrific sweatshop conditions in many parts of the world today.

I wonder where all those braclets with WWJD are made? Next time your at the local Christian Bookshop why now stop and ask where all the little bits of pieces they sell are made? It could very well be by the Chinese worker quoted above at the end of a long 19 hour day.

What would Jesus Do?

Totally agree that is very shocking. I also agree more work must be done investigating other things of the like...
