That version only comes on after 11:00 pm EST so you might have missed it if you go to bed early. The host wears a jockstrap and heels. :lol: And bad make-up? With a whip?

Lang Syne Boardie Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Do they have to phrase it in the form of a question, like on Jeopardy? No, but extra points if they do. There'll be a bonus round later. We're going to be talking about this one for a while... I know I will! I haven't even run out of anger yet.

Karis Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 When I read the original post, my take was that it was an object lesson. I assumed that karis was trying to point out how awkward and unlikely it would be to discuss circumsision during the getting-to-know-each-other-phase since a poster on one of the other circ threads stated that circumsision of infants was something that should be decided upon before marriage. Looks like I was wrong. it is an object lesson. (easily implemented and quite amusing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Interesting conversation. If you don't want to go with the Jewish thing, try hanging out at the ballet. Sit up front, and you can pick out which male dancers meet your criteria. Nutcracker, anyone? :001_smile: You certainly shouldn't be able to. They should all be in dance belts.

Mrs Mungo Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I just don't think there's a polite way to discuss the private parts of someone with whom you haven't developed a close relationship without it being very personal and very offensive. Heck, it has massive potential for too personal and extremely offensive between two people who have developed an emotional relationship. Right. It is too personal if you don't have a relationship. It is sort of offensive once you do. It is like asking a girl-by the way, are those things really that big? Because if it push-up bra magic, we have to call things off unless you get implants. I had lots of like-minded, non-negotiable criteria. Aside from having a high level of intelligence, they were behaviors. Now, I do have preferences. But, I dated and was attracted to lots of guys outside of those preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraceinMD Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Wow. This is the single strangest question I have ever encountered here at WTM.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 it is an object lesson. (easily implemented and quite amusing) :confused: So now we have to stop and wonder if we're being set up for someone's amusement? Posters already mentioned that views on circumcision of prospective children could be discussed during the dating or courtship process. And it wouldn't be strange or offensive to do so.

Carpe Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 If the girl will be involved in the chaperoned, ask Daddy for a date kind of courtship, then her father should tell all boys that he must consult the boy's parents before approving anything. Then the two families can discuss their religious beliefs, including circumcision. All parties would be aware of who thinks what and why they think it's important. If the boy's parents do not share those beliefs, either set of parents has the opportunity to stop the relationship before it starts. My DH and I would certainly appreciate the honesty. While I ordinarily would not object to one of my sons courting a very religious girl (if he were so inclined, and understood what conversion entailed) I would not want him dating a girl with that restriction. It would be best to get it out of the way at the beginning with as little emotion as possible. And as a side note not all Jews are circumcised. There is a small, but rapidly growing, group of "Jews against circumcision" (.org I believe). Many of my Jewish friends have opted to leave their sons intact.

Wendi Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I agree with the others who have said that your dd should make sure she only dates people from your congregation (assuming this is a strong, non-negotiable teaching there), who are not "new" to the congregation (so you can assume his parents followed the teaching). Then, yeah, I guess when the young man asks the girl's father for a date, the dad will have to ask the young man or his parents to be sure. I don't think it's fair to let them start dating if it's a deal-breaker. Awkward, yes, but families in your congregation should understand.

Nakia Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm 100% certain my husband wants zero knowledge of our daughters' future husbands' penises. If he did, I would be worried. Truly. WSS. I haven't been so grossed out by the Homeschool Christian Patriarchy since I saw those photos of young girls shaving their daddies at a Vision Forum convention. Now I have to warn my son about yet another danger from the courtin' crowd: If he starts to get serious about a girl her Dad might ask him about his penis. Of course, that will happen over my dead body, but we try to prepare our kids for anything. I'm going to raise my intact sons to treat any man who asks questions about their genitals (medical personnel exempted) to a perfectly-placed punch in the nose. Calling it Christian doesn't mean it's not perverted. Moms, raise your boys to stand up for themselves. Don't let them grow up to submit to this crap. No questionnaires about doctrine or conviction, no interviews with Daddy to get permission to speak to a grown woman, no penis checks. Moms, raise MEN. YES! Please raise men because some of us are raising daughters with a brain their head to make their own decisions and not depend on daddy to do their datin'.

Carpe Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Well apparently I type too slow. :glare: When I was dating, we tended to start discussing parenting choices before considering "going steady" (or whatever it's called now-a-days) Maybe I dated weird boys, but that's how it was. Before we got too involved we needed to know that if "accidents happen" that we could live with each other's choices for the next 20 years. Yes it weeded out a few very early. And yes circumcision was discussed. We also brought up family size, homeschooling, religion and Santa. And no they weren't offended or insulted or creeped out. Easy peasy.

mommaduck Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 very mature answer. thank you as an older woman that's doable. I meant for a young lady. This is something a Father would address when the discussion of marriage came up with a young man. Meaning the guy initiates the convo. I know many do not court and could care less about having a Father's blessing and even less so about the covenant of circ - so I appreciate those who chose to respond to the question asked. Just saw this part. I've been in groups that do courtship. I've been there. I have NEVER heard of this as a requirement for a father's blessing and would be seriously concerned if a father asked it as part and parcel to his blessing.
