I personally will not be giving another dime to the BSA. I will also recommend that my children not to enroll any of our grandosn into the oorganization...as much as it pains me, and as much as I regret the loss of this once great organization.
The homosexual community is now going to recruit 16-17 year old boys to become open members of the scouting organization. I do not want my 12-14 year old grandsons going on campouts with them. Plain and simple. Not worth the risk.
My church, the LDS Church, will continue with the scout program within its own congregations until and unless they accept adult leaders who are homosexual. That is what the Church has indicated is its line. The Church teaches that homosexuals can be members of the church as long as they are celebate in these desires. IOW, they can have urges, but if they resist temptation and rely on the atonement of Christ, then they can be members in good standing as much as a heterosexual who does not commit fornication or adultery.
While I can understand this, and agree with it when it comes to young people who are serious about trying to overcome their lifestyle and affliction in a spiritual sense, and it is an affliction that tempts them to sinful behavior...I cannot support it within the scouts. I know that there will be people now entering the organization specifically to fill its ranks with these queers who have no intention of “repenting,” or overcoming their lifestyle.
I cannot and will not risk that set of circumstances on my own grandkids of I can help it.
I agree. Remember that Judas sold out Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. I am sure that the BSA held out for more in corporate contributions.
What exactly are they going to do when they have a 12 year old raped by a 15, 16, or 17 year old openly gay scout. Don’t think it won’t happen. It already happens when the gays are closeted. The new policy opens the BSA to unlimited damages. Certainly more than a few large corporations can make up in additional donations.
As far as the Homosexuals. They where already allowed to join. They where just expected to do something they find impossible. STFU and keep it to themselves.
