Scientology and Circumcision

[Björkist]

Circumcision does appear to be a pretty brutal engram (for those of you believe in the existence of painful experiences and the potential after-effects of them) and a rather rude welcoming gift for those entering this world.

"Honey, let's have a silent birth, but then slice some of our brand new baby's skin off from a really sensitive area."


Battle Plan

1. Immediately circumcise our newborn baby (hereafter Pepé). "Welcome to Earth!!!"

2. Lie to him for years about imaginary critters like Santa, the Easter Bunny & Jesus.

3. Lie some more to lil' Pepé about how the universe, Earth and human life began instead of admitting that, while there is alot that we do know, we don't know the answer to that one (except a couple of internet know-it-alls here on ESMB).

4. Let the television commercials inspire lil' Pepé to buy more things so he can be happy!!!!

5. Give him pharmaceutical drugs for being active & not sitting still in class (or for some other non-sense "reasons" given to shove test-tube chemicals) down the throats of innocent people.

6. Buy him a cell phone (and unlimited minutes, OMG!) for his 13th birthday so he can develop devastating brain and/or ear cancer by age 25.

7. Retire in alcohol and nicotine happiness...knowing that we did the right thing.

WTF?! All the drugs I'm addicted to are making me keeeerazzzzzzyer than a hungover and alcohol sweating car salesman in Texas who ate too many over easy eggs for breakfast, chased with a half gallon of cold, black coffee.

This may explain why the little fellow has shrinkage from time to time.

He's trying to hide from that awful engram producing event.

I agree with all you say on this post. It made me smile as I have had many a private rants saying exactly what you said. Agreement is so freaking nice. Want you to know-that you have a kindred spirit on this board. Thanks!

I was auditing a little boy about 9 years old on a Scientology C/S1 several years ago. We also did and Original assessment. When I asked about "operations" I got an instant read. He said "no". I told him to look and tell me what he first thought of when I asked the question. "Circumcision" blew down beautifully.

Curious choice of words.

I dont prescribe it personnally, but have heard that in some tribes in africa neighbouring villages where they do remove the foreskins have less AIDS than areas that leave them on. The foreskin actually absorbs infection.

They also look prettier, when theyre attacked with a knife in babyhood. Smelly cheesy foreskins do tend to be a turn off.

All the other stuff about drugs, well couldnt care less really, willy's matter more to me.

This was a terribly difficult decision. So difficult that I thought why did I want to have children, I wish I only had girls, I change my mind, I don't want to make decisions for another.

Do I hurt Pepe' or leave him be and let his pee pee be different from the majority? If I leave Pepe' be how common and acceptable is that? Could that be just as damaging?

I decided to go with the circumcisions with both sons. My friend had a boy with complications later because she left her Pepe' be and his wasnt growing right. Her son had to get circumcised later. The horrible experience of torturing my kids, the crying and sobbing and the look of betrayal and anger made me sick. Sick to my stomach and depressed. Guilty. And they were newborns.

I also hated playing the santa and easter bunny. I dont like to lie. I still have a little one left. I try not to make too big a deal. Santa only brings one present, the rest are from us. Santa puts his present by the fire not under the tree.

There is a definate difference between the generations of the 60s and 70's and the following nintendo generation. I try really hard to get my kids out and experience as much as possible. Snowshoeing, hiking, swimming in a lake, biking etc. I really want them to be good with money and know the value of it because it looks like the material age is comming to a close.
