Without saying where I'm located, I submitted a summary of the most important findings here to a federal law enforcement official. Not sure what they will do with it, but at least it's on someone's radar now.
Another post indicated a "Jewish Internet Defense Group" is trying to ID folks posting here. I have said from the beginning there's a need to ax the anti-Jewish threads that aren't even related to "Pizzagate" and the Mods have done so. The overtly politically lopsided threads have also been axed.
This board is the best research board out there for debunking known lies, exploring avenues, avoiding racism, and doxxing.
Thanks to those who have participated. Will see if it leads to anything. Hoping they wait until after Trump is in power to forward to the D.C. office.

Nope. VERY common. Not fringe at all.

Approximately 9% of the Jews in the US are considered Orthodox or Hassidic. Given the US Jewish population is about 8M, you are talking about 560k adherents overall, a percentage of those would fall into the ultra-Orthodox group - about 20%. So you have 112k adherents that could/would practice this religious covenant. That is NOT very common. How many bris have you attended?

I attended ONE and left the room.
I consider a FRINGE as in Timothy McVeigh was Christian with very extreme beliefs. He was FRINGE and not recognized as normal by any group. There are specific groups among the Jewish faith where this is a thing and within that group, 100% find it normal and expected behavior. They have documentation on why it is required and fought the courts successfully to continue it's practice.

If you do enough research, you realize that there is a reason it is called "Judeo-Christian values". The two religions are inextricably intertwined. And that far out 5%, 2%, 1% (?) who knows?
I've seen enough people rolling with snakes, speaking in tongues, etc. for one lifetime. It's a strange ritual from the outermost limit of a religion just as SRA is to Wiccan practices.
I'm not condoning just saying it's weird, creepy and pre-medivial IMO. The difference is intent. One is based on a single-scope belief that can be directly attributed to a sacrament with some medical basis and the other (SRA) ends in death.
You decide.
