Does JW (bless him) think that Abraham pulled out the knife, and with a crazy grin and an odd gleam in his eye said: "Whip it out boys, and lay it on the table--it'll only hurt for .. a couple days. Trust me!"
Please. How about Gen. 17:14, " Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant."
Here's what he probably said: "OK, you don't believe what I preach here, the truth I proclaimed to you back in Ur when I brought you out with me? Why did you consent to leave? If you believe, then I'm cutting ME first, then you, as God commanded. If you refuse to be cut, then you are "cut off", goodbye. See ya. We have some parting gifts for you at the door."
