If the piercing is done at 6 months, there will always be a hole in the ear- That part cannot be reversed.^^^ I don't agree with piercing babies eitherany body modifications is not ok in my books!
Although I dislike ear piercings on small babies too, at LEAST piercings can heal. Foreskins can't grow back.
Literally when i read that portion all i could think of was 'Hey! wait a minute! dont they think our va-jay-jays look wierd too???' Lol

Foreskin restoration is the process of expanding the residual skin on the penis, via surgical or non-surgical methods. It can be performed for several reasons, among them being a desire to create the appearance of a natural foreskin (prepuce) covering the glans penis, or to increase sexual sensitivity of the glans and the interior of the restored foreskin, or to reduce discomfort due to exposure of sensitive areas during everyday activities. Foreskin restoration techniques are most commonly undertaken by men who have been circumcised or who have sustained an injury, but are also used by men who desire a longer foreskin and by men who have phimosis.
If they can put NEW FACES on people im sure they can do this
Just a quick google search on forskin restoration
And as for the religious aspect of it
Some religions still adamently practice it but in my personal research of the Bible this is what ive found
Paul was inspired to write about circumcision according to the Mosaic Law: Was any man called circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has any man been called in uncircumcision? Let him not get circumcised. Circumcision does not mean a thing, and uncircumcision means not a thing, but observance of Gods commandments does. In whatever state each one was called, let him remain in it.1 Corinthians 7:18-20."
"Gods View of Circumcision
Some people in ancient times, such as the Egyptians, practiced circumcision, that is, the cutting away of the foreskin of the male sex organ. Abraham, however, was not born into such a culture. In fact, for most of his life, Abraham was uncircumcised. Moreover, in his uncircumcised state, Abraham proved himself to be a valiant man. With a small band of men, he pursued and vanquished the armies of four kings who had captured his nephew Lot. (Genesis 14:8-16) About 14 years later, God commanded Abraham to get circumcised and to circumcise his entire household. Why did God do so?
It was certainly not a sign that Abraham had advanced from boyhood to manhood. Why, he was 99 years old! (Genesis 17:1, 26, 27) God gave the reason for the command, saying: You must get circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it must serve as a sign of the covenant between me and you. (Genesis 17:11) That Abrahamic covenant included Gods promise that through Abraham, great blessings would eventually come to all the families of the ground. (Genesis 12:2, 3) Thus, in Gods eyes, circumcision had nothing to do with manhood. It was performed to indicate that a person belonged to the Israelite descendants of Abraham, who were privileged to be entrusted with the sacred pronouncements of God.Romans 3:1, 2.
In time, the nation of Israel proved unworthy of that trust by rejecting the true Seed of Abraham, Jesus Christ. Hence, they were rejected by God, and their state of circumcision ceased to have any meaning in Gods eyes. However, some Christians in the first century C.E. insisted that circumcision was still a requirement of God. (Acts 11:2, 3; 15:5) Because of this, the apostle Paul sent Titus to correct the things that were defective in various congregations. To Titus, Paul wrote about one defect: There are many unruly men, profitless talkers, and deceivers of the mind, especially those men who adhere to the circumcision. It is necessary to shut the mouths of these, as these very men keep on subverting entire households by teaching things they ought not for the sake of dishonest gain.Titus 1:5, 10, 11.
Pauls counsel is still applicable. It would certainly be contrary to the Scriptures for a true Christian to suggest that someone elses child be circumcised. Instead of being a busybody in other peoples matters, a Christian leaves such personal decisions for parents to make. (1 Peter 4:15) Moreover, Paul was inspired to write about circumcision according to the Mosaic Law: Was any man called circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has any man been called in uncircumcision? Let him not get circumcised. Circumcision does not mean a thing, and uncircumcision means not a thing, but observance of Gods commandments does. In whatever state each one was called, let him remain in it.1 Corinthians 7:18-20."
SO in conclusion The only things that should dictate whether or not
you cut or leave him uncut is you and your hubbys personal choices and any medical things that apply at that point in time that circumcision is being considered...
DONT Stress

im glad the thread is helping and not frustrating 
They turn it into a celebration, the parents and all the family members get to stay with the kid the whole time, no strapping to a board, and it is done very quick and painlessly. I've only ever heard of things going horribly in hospitals, so thats why I am so scared of it.
Wasn't it on Seinfeld where the Rabbi takes off someones finger? LOL this comment made me think of thatA brisk is way different than a hospital circumcision. If I were to ever get my boy circumcised I would ask my Jewish SIL if I could use her Rabbi and have a brisk
Hehehe
I understand that sometimes it's medically neccesary later in life for the foreskin to be removed, but that is a bridge that we and our son(s) can cross if we get to it. OH doesn't care either way, but once I explained how important this is to me, he agreed that we should leave our son(s) intact and leave that choice up to them if they wish to have it done in the future.
