The entire trip to the hospital was filmed and aired. The entire procedure was recorded, and the child could be heard screaming in the background.
Apparently Jep quickly got grossed out to the point of leaving.
Even so, he decides to throw a "circumbration party" with his male friends, "celebrating" the needless genital mutilation of their adopted son.
I don't even know where to begin, regarding all the different levels of how wrong this is.
For one, it's horrific enough that anyone would want to do this to a child that's your own flesh and blood, let alone a child that's not even your own.
You adopt a child, supposedly to try and give him a better life than what he's already been given, and this is how you welcome him? Mutilating his most private and intimate organs?
Throwing a party to "celebrate" the fact that you let a doctor abuse him?
You mutilate a child that isn't even yours, and throw a party at his expense?
And then film the whole thing and air it on cable TV?
The betrayal.
The abuse.
The suffering.
The "celebration" of it all.
On TV.
The episode was labeled "The Circumbration."
Absolutely sick and disgusting.
Only in a cutting culture would the forced genital cutting of a healthy, non-consenting male child be celebrated with a party, and then featured on television as entertainment.
Dissent Deleted, Blocked
People have tried to vent their disgust with this episode of Duck Dynasty on Facebook and other mediums but are being met with their comments being deleted and their accounts blocked.
In some instances, the option to comment and/or leave reviews and feedback have been removed altogether.
Claims of Christian Values
Jeb and Jessica claim to adhere to Christian values, but it seems they are oblivious to the major conflict of interest in calling themselves Christian and celebrating the genital mutilation of a helpless infant.
The book of Galatians says that circumcision profits the Christian nothing.
"Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith."
Galatians 5:2-5 KJV
The bible is clear on this matter, and had Jep and Jessica actually read it as much as they say they do, then they would have acted differently. To read more on what the bible says on circumcision and gentiles, click here.
At one point, Jessica remarks "I wish God would make them how they are suppose to be," which is stupid, idiotic and ironic; God already makes children how they are supposed to be.
That is, unless they are to accept that the Christian god, even being omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, somehow had this oversight.
Action
Contacting Jep and Jessica on Facebook or otherwise appears to be of no use, as their minds are made up and have decided to silence all dissent.
The best course of action appears to be to hit them where it hurts: through direct communication with A&E and their advertisers.
We need to deliver the message that genital mutilation being treated as comedy and entertainment is unacceptable.
Jep and Jessica may be able to block us on Facebook, but they can't stop us using other means of communication.
Furthermore, they have an international following, so they will hear international views.
This may be a blessing in disguise for intactivists, as this will bring the issue of the genital mutilation of healthy, non-consenting minors much needed attention.
I think in addition to contacting A&E etc., we also need to bring this to the attention of international adoption agencies; they should be warned of American male genital mutilation practices before allowing male children to be adopted by American families.
Contact information for A&E and their advertisers is detailed below.

Scumbags. Boasting about raping their son.
ReplyDeleteThis is what Americans consider entertainment? Unbelievably sick and depraved. What's next. Executions?
ReplyDeleteStill ... the routine forcible genital mutilation of infants is usually hidden behind closed doors, so no one sees or hears the cruelty infant boys must experience. Maybe all such travesties should be filmed and broadcast. Maybe then Americans will understand how perverted we have become.
