    Thankyou for explaining that Peg.

    So, why do some Christians follow circumcsion still? I believe the WWCOG do... I also believe JW's do?

    i have no idea why some christians still follow it...perhaps its become a cultural thing??

    JW's can choose to if they want, the teachings do not say that we must or must not...its an individual choice for us. My son is not cirumcised because there was no medical need to do it. My BIL had his son done for medical reasons as he was having infection problems.

    Its really a personal choice and the New testament specifically says that it is not a requirement for christians.

    Definitely not JWs. Not required to, anyway.

    I believe Jews still follow because they do not believe Jesus has come to Earth yet - therefore the reasoning that other Christian religions use to NOT circumcise doesn't apply, as the person who said it wasn't Jesus in their opinion. Yael would be the best to ask I think...

    And ditto to Peg and Jen
