Well, I may have overstated the case here, because I've also heard straight women tell the same joke. In fact, I bet most here have heard it at least once.

Ok, ok, but remember, you asked.

Q: What do you call that useless flap of skin at the end of a penis?

A: A man.

Harsh? Maybe. Keep in mind that this is the kind of joke the sisters tell each other when they go out drinking and have had a few.

Is one of those your safe word?

I suspect safety is one of the key reasons you want the Earth to be flat.

Honestly dude, gravity is your friend.

Actually they were adults and circumcised a second time. Ouch.

Let's have a citation.

A second time? Why on earth would anybody have to be circumcised a second time? Is that even possible? Is that anything like losing your virginity a second time? 🙄

At that time Jehovah said to Joshua: “Make for yourself flint knives and circumcise the men of Israel again, a second time.”

Joshua 5:2, New world Translation of the Holy Scriptures.

Right.

"At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time." -- Joshua 5:2, KJV

So I'm interested in hearing your reasoning as to what this "second time" is all about. You didn't answer a single question I posed in my post. You just posted the citation without comment. I'm wondering if you can get behind the literal translation to what it is actually talking about.

They were adults, yes, but not circumcised a second time. Read a bit further. Do you really understand what this chapter (Joshua 5) is talking about?

Circumcised and defeated
Robbie's lost all hope
his wobbly belly shaken
the fiend is on the ropes.

He doesn't know his bible
he barely knows his name
and climbing in a dumpster
hangs his head in shame

(Chorus)

Wobble wobble wobble
wobble wobble wobble.

(Kidding)

Maybe there were "leftovers" from the first time. 😕

The point I was going to make is, the 'Lord's Assembly' may not mean what it is first taken as (at least for me) and that is being a part of the family of God (or the given religious group)... thus being rejected if you don't have balls.. The following link would suggest that the 'Lord's Assembly' is marriage. If that being the case, it would be hard to ...[text shortened]... sembly-of-the-lord-refer-to

On another note, what would having the Holman Translation matter?

I think that this is pretty important to assessing the passage. There is something of a difference between the mutilated not being able to marry and them not being able to enter heaven. Does anyone have any idea whether this is correct - that the "Lord's assembly" or "congregation of the Lord" means marriage, and that the translation is misleading, or if the writers of the website yoctobyte referred to are mistaken?
