If it was good enough for the Israelites, it is good enough for Mr. Johnson.
It's still a barbaric practice.
I don't care if the Israelis are doing it.
Traditions are stupid.
Lol, you’re a Foreskin Defender. That explains so much.
Correct. We're phasing it out in the West because we are realizing it is gential mutilation.
You know they do. At least their mouths. They suck on the little schmeckel after cutting. A rabbi had herpes and spread it to who knows how many babies.
Well, thank you. I had no idea how horribly I’d been abused, hadn’t given it a moment’s thought, until I came across the cabal of foreskin zealots on this site. You’re like the idiots who hate their parents for lying to them about Santa Claus.
The foreskin is normal, healthy tissue found in all males at birth. Circumcision is the cutting off of a part of a person’s genitals. It is the destruction of tissue. Unless there is medical or clinical indication for the surgical amputation of flesh, it is by definition, genital mutilation.
How do you feel about tonsils and adenoids?
You can’t really compare.
Or wisdom teeth.
Toe nails. Ear wax.
That’s one I saw as a kid and never forgot.
Garrett Morris kills it in this one.
The Royal Deluxe II Circumcision.
America, it’s really a wacky place!
“You know they do. At least their mouths. They suck on the little schmeckel after cutting. A rabbi had herpes and spread it to who knows how many babies. “
I remember hearing about that.
What's wacky is that gentian mutilation is still common in America.
I guess he had to do something after the Indian Wars ended.
Subsequent to the acceptance of Pasteur's germ theory was when sanitary practices were adopted by the medical industry, and in America circumcision became the practice for all males born in hospitals unless a parent objected. Only those Gentiles born in environments that were poor or rural and circumcision was neither practical nor economical when delivery was not attended by a physician, especially when poverty conditions prevailed.
While unlicensed midwives were lawful and quite common for home births, Gentles made no provision for circumcision out of the clinic. It would probably been unlawful by someone not licensed for it, even a registered nurse I suppose.
The early church soon abandoned this procedure as a requirement for an ndividual to be counted as a fully accepted constituent of the Christian Faith, although a preference for it as a matter of personal cleanliness was not actively discouraged.
They uncover one and then cover the other.
I do not know if that meant to signify higher purpose or that they are all a bunch of dicks.
It was! My memory failed me! I went back and rewatched it - he was an incredible actor!
