Oprah Draws Criticism for Endorsing Face Cream Made From Foreskins

[Stoner4Life]

My favorite (only) foreskin joke.......

My favorite (only) foreskin joke.......

At the end of the tax year the IRS office sent an inspector to audit the books of a Synagogue. While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said, "I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with the candle drippings?"

"Good question," noted the Rabbi. "We save them up and send them back to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of candles."

"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way: "What about all these bread wafer purchases? What do you do with the crumbs?"

"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We collect them and send them back to the manufacturer, and every now and then they send us a free box of bread-wafers."

"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi. "Well, Rabbi," he went "what do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?"

"Here, too, we do not waste," answered the Rabbi. "What we do is save all the foreskins and send them to the tax office, and about once a year they send us a complete dick."

hehehehe S4L...

in Judaism, the foreskin after being cut is not burnt as a sacrifice to anyone... it's usually disposed of...

also, in Judaism, the circumcision (sp?) is called Brit Milah, or 'the covenant of the word', which is a commandment to cut the foreskin of all 8 days old male Israelites. this is done as a sign of commitment towards the commandments. however, this is a commandment only for the Israelites and not for The Nations; who break no commandment if their foreskins are not cut.

many people have tried to give the circumcision more justifications besides the religious ones, like it's more clean or whatever, not sure if there is a definite medical conclusion on the pros and cons of circumcision though...

I was circumcised (by a rabbi) and do not have any traumas about it... the only thing I've gotten are compliments from a few ladies in the past

so yeah, in Judaism it is done for such reasons mentioned above; and the foreskins are surely NOT sold to any face-cream maker, it would be so not kosher it's not even funny.

An Aussie handbag manufacturer has been making ladies handbags and clutch purses out of foreskin leather for years. They're very practical too...just give 'em a rub and they turn into suitcases!!!

A doctor successfully sewed baby foreskin to an infant's eye sockets to fashion eyelids. Kid was fine but grew up cock-eyed but with amazing foresight!!!

This is a serious question, I'm not trying to wind you up, but did the Rabbi do the thing where they suck the end of the cock(like you do with your finger if you cut it) I know that isn't always the case, but it does happen, 11 NY baby boys infected with Herpes--2 dead, wow..

Regarding medical justifications, there are some cases where it is needed, like my mate who foreskin was too tight, but doing it to all boys, depriving them of 90% of the nerve endings, and guaranteeing decreased sensitivity in the glans itself, in order to prevent a problem in a tiny proportion of boys is ridiculous.

Any ladies who have had cosmetic filler injections might be interested to know that it possibly contained foreskin.
The foreskins are used to produce collagen, and that little bit of skin is a collagen factory. It is also used to grow skin for grafting. One foreskin can be used to grow 250,000 square feet of skin. Insulin production is another use for foreskins.
I repeat my previous point that parents and indeed the individual being mutilated(as I see it-sorry) are being screwed. Why should the hospital be able to sell that foreskin and not give the money to the owner of the foreskin.

Religious reasons, I don't agree with doing it to children. A baby cannot decide to join a religion. There is no such thing as a Christian baby or a Muslim baby or a Jewish baby, only parental imposition. It should be left to adulthood and the individual concerned to decide if they want to be "Marked" as belonging to a particular cult or not.

What I wonder is when are we going to see Chinese foreskin farms.. We've already had the foetus milkshake.

Finally, Mohels don't make very much money, but they do get to keep the tips.

hello Harry,

you raise some good points that I'd like to address:

the sucking of the end of the cock (lol) by the mohel is 100% prohibited! not allowed, not kosher at all!

the problem is that within Judaism we have this crazy cats that we call 'ultra-orthodox' a.k.a penguins. and sadly, they make-up all kinds of shit that is no-where to be found in the whole of the Torah/Tanach.

for example, in Judaism, eating or tasting blood is 100% prohibited, not allowed! this is why kosher meat is supposed to have as little blood as possible. this not only applies to animals' blood but also to human, as tasting human blood is a big No No as per the actual commandments found in the Torah.

most of us as Jews are pretty much ashamed that we have this ultra-orthodox primitive minded crowd doing whatever they please and making up shit and calling it 'real Judaism'...

another example is that in the Torah, there's a commandment that prohibits marrying between cousins; but guess what? many of the ultra-orthodox Ashkenazis marry their cousins, thinking it's best to marry their cousin than to marry other jews not from their sects or non-jews. this is a total disregard for actual Jewish law.

they also don't want to serve in the army, and justify their fear of serving in the army by saying their duty is to study Torah; yet at the same time most of the shit they do is not to be found in the Torah as per the examples above. they don't work either, so part of the taxes we all pay goes directly to their social security checks... these penguins are in deep-shit today because people are getting tired of their nonsense. as per the Torah, it is the duty of every Israelite to defend the land, so they're so wrong is not even funny.

now on to the next point: you say you cannot be born a Jew; but that's not correct; Judaism is an Ethnicity; unlike Christianity or Islam, where your statement holds true.

if you are born of Jewish parents, in terms of ethnicity, it's the same as if you were born of Lakotah parents, you really have no choice as per which enthicity are you going to be born in.

considering this, in the enthicity of Judaism, the religious aspect goes hand in hand, like for a Lokotah or a Makiritare in the amazon; and like most enthicities there are certain belief systems; in the case of Judaism and circumcision, the reason why circumcision is done is as a sign of commitment to the actual commandments found in the Torah, the Torah is like the guiding-book of this enthinia, just like the Mahabarata is a guiding-book for the hindu enthnia.

most of the commandments in the Torah ask for the individual born into such ethnia to keep 'pure'. people have argued that since the foreskin is gone and some of the sensitivity is gone as well, so that the person can have a bit more self-control in sexual matters; imo this is non-sense, since you'll be as horny as you want with or without the foreskin since you have no other point of reference to go by...

but I do agree with the circumcision as being a sign of commitment towards following the commandments, since there's nothing wrong with following the actual commandments as per found in the Torah, and actually are beneficial on an individual and social level.

also, the Mohel is not allowed to sell the foreskin; he has to dispose of it properly. if he sells it, he's breaking commandments and is being a real dick, if caugh he could most likely end up ruined in terms of reputation and would find himself jobless.

this post is too long already,

peace!

I'm glad you didn't take my post the wrong way mate.
Regarding Jewish as an ethnicity--sure I'll grant that but the circumcision is a religious tradition. There is a great tradition of Jewish Atheism, people who say they are ethnically Jewish but clearly not believers. This is a dividing line to me, as the circumcision is a religious requirement, imposing it on babies is wrong(again IMO) Not circumcising babies wouldn't make them any less ethnically Jewish and permit them to make their own decision about an irreversible medical procedure..
I saw a show recently about Peruvian converts in Israel, interesting stuff, it does raise questions though, you can't convert to an ethnicity... Will these children of Amerindian ethnicity be considered a part of the Jewish "Race", there is a great discussion to be had in all this, although probably not for here eh.

again Harry, excellent questions!

some of them are not easy to answer, considering there are 613 commandments! and considering the amount of 'rabbinical rulings' that contradict some of these commandments, or that explains them properly, it'll be a hard task for sure, and like you said, this being not the best place to tackle them.

but let me say that converting to Judaism is really difficult, every person who has wanted to convert has been denied at least three times (tradition), since converting entails to become part of a religious enthnicity; so converts should be converting out of a neccesity of their own Soul... traditionally, it is said that converts have Jewish souls, so converting is a natural thing for them. no one else in their right minds would want to convert to Judaism! 613 commandments man! can't eat pizza with pepperoni for starters!

peace!

A Hindu is a follower of Hinduism not an ethnic group.

Cutting foreskins seems very wrong to me for many reasons.

Hygiene is enough of a reason for me. I also post on a forum where people discuss relationship issues, and the other day this girl posted how she dumped her un-cut boyfriend because his member smelled like cheese

Hinduism is considered an enthnicity by many hinduists... some even go as far as saying that if you were not born hindu, you have no business studying Vedanta etc...

however, you are right, my example was not the best i.e: Hinduism. probably I should have said some branches of hinduism to be more specific.

peace

A little soap and water takes care of that issue. If it's an ongoing problem, anti-bacterial soap and proper drying will do it.

I think the hygiene argument is tenuous at best.
