"I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." Revelation 2:9 KJV
I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure Jesus was a Jew. So if you encounter someone who is a "Jew" but they also happen to be eating babies... I'm pretty sure that's who that verse is referring to. So the Bible has explained very clearly that Jews are not evil, but there is an satanic group that pretends to be Jewish.
and so... every time someone posts a blanket accusation of 'the Jews', I can't help but wonder if its a fed. because not only does it sound way too spicy for normies... its also not true. I think the vast majority of us here know that, but that line in revelations tends to go underappreciated.
hygiene isn't personal taste. and children have many preferences imposed on them. its not abuse to wipe your kids butt either, or to spank it. you just do your best to make your kids clean and presentable so they can live happy lives.
the practise propagates itself because its been experienced as positive. there's no evidence of harm, nor are there masses of people claiming to have been 'abused' by circumcision... so unless some revelation is made about its unseen impact, its gonna remain the business of the parents.
of course. just remember that science and technology always have applications on both sides of morality.
and... consider that we would be in a very different place if the Bible didn't read exactly the way it does. it says what it needs to say. I think I understand the warning against divination, and I heed it in my own way. there is no prediction of the future that is more reliable than faith. those without that understanding had best steer clear of the subject entirely.
maybe i'm dooming myself to hell... but it was through prayer that I was pointed in this direction, so I doubt it.
:) not trying to argue. we all have a role to play, and this is mine.
Occult means hidden. its not hidden because its evil, but because it can't be available to everyone. unfortunately it has fallen into the wrong hands.
Theosophy is an attempt to reconcile as many religions as possible. Its a field full of curious people, not baby eaters.
its a science like any other. but it is flawed in a very specific way. that flaw is intentional, and could be considered sinister.
Kabbalah is a map of existence. But in its well known form, certain paths and levels have been removed. the incomplete map doesn't allow access to the higher levels.
think of the devil tarot card. it represents man's consciousness chained to the physical world, restricted from accessing anything higher.
so yes, it is valuable knowledge. yes it has limitations and sinister aspects. and yes it can be used for dark purposes.
but it doesn't demand sacrifice or loyalty, its just a system of knowledge, albeit one that needs restoration. this restoration is one of my pet projects. its slow going, but im happy with my progress.
anywho. this is why i consider myself one of the stranger anons lol. carry on
haha that is not the truth. its convenient, aesthetic, and hygienic. if you've never experienced the benefits of it, you're obviously not going to want to go undergo genital surgery to find out. but if you have the benefits, you're grateful, so you do the same to your child. that's how it propogates.
I get that we're into questioning everything these days. but if there is any harm from the practice of circumcision, its subtle enough to be unknowable. we have more pressing issues to deal with... things that very commonly lead to split petsonalities and suicide. insignificant disagreements like this just divide us further... kinda like flat earth. not worth fighting over here.
come on. that cannot possibly be a genuine argument. convenience or aethetics isn't worth putting your genitals under the knife as an adult.. but when you're born, you barely even notice or remember. not a big deal. i can't think of a single downside. its not disabling, its not cruel or traumatic. trans surgery is ultimately all 3 of those things.
not everything in this life is a conscious autonomous choice. especially in childhood... parents are in charge of their childrens health and early lives. you may not agree with it, but that doesn't equate it with s.r.a
so what? millions of "victims" of this procedure will tell you they prefer it that way. there's no associated trauma or suicide rate, because nothing is lost. its like having an innie vs an outie. its cleaner and looks better, and its a huge pain to do when you're older. just makes sense.
i've heard people get insanely nasty during this debate. its not child abuse, regardless of the reasons given for doing it.
Vedic astrology accounts for those changes. but western astrology holds value for many people, and I don't think that's a coincidence. as a reflection of the human psyche, its pretty complex. there is certainly a level of the human psyche that is off kilter by a couple notches.
God talks to many people in many ways. Everything exactly what it needs to be in perfect timing.
