[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not "so sad", pp. Who are you crying for? My two beautiful Jewish sons? Please. Take your pity elsewhere.[/quote]

I note that you didn't quote the previous message.  that would be because it said that the mother was shaking the whole time and the father was as white as a ghost.  They were clearly upset about the procedure and had mixed feelings about it.  So yes, it's sad.  I also think it's sad that the baby has his penis cut and scarred in the name of religion, but that's not what I was clearly commenting on.[/quote]

I'm the same poster!  My point is that it's a very tough day for new parents.  It's scary and emotional- it's overwhelming to realize that you are doing what Jews around the world have been doing for thousands of years.  I never for once had mixed feelings about it, absolutely never.  We are Jews.  We circumcise.  It's not up for debate!!!

My boys are incredible kids, with access to amazing education, in a happy home with two loving parents.  There are children living in poverty in drug addicted homes.  Be sad for them.

I'm also the same poster who said that if I knew a Jewish friend didn't circ her son, I'd seriously question the friendship.  [/quote]
