Is there any way you guys can get together and revers it? I am a widowed mom of girls, as far away from BSA culture you can get, but we look to these institutions for the future of our country.

See what the French did this weekend.

Take a look at the history of BSA.

Look at what this means historically, it is Biblical. THe progressives are Biblically wrong, Why are they winning.

Look at the corrupt origins of the pressure that happened at the same time corruption is being found out in the gov’t.

Look at the origins of militant homosexuality.

It is a lot of trouble, legally, too, I imagine.

You guys have a LOT of successful execs among you. This is a huge problem. And the time to fix it has not passed but it is short.

That radio talk show guy who broadcasts from fla at linch time nationwide is a huge fan and cannot get involved.

There are a lot of prominent personalities who cannot get involved in this, but they can support behind the scenes. Cruz and Perry both made statements.

It has to be a grassroots turnabout.

I think it might be wrong to blame them. Look at how the tea pty got blamed for lack of motivation when the truth was they were being individually harassed into submission and behind the scenes.

RE: Give them an inch, they’ll shove it in a mile.

The Arabs knew about it a long time ago, see fable in Post #12 above.

re: a father and son duo

So, will they lobby for "same son" marriage, too? Does anyone doubt we'll be seeing that soon?

I don’t know.

I ask that question in turn to the millions and millions of Boy Scouts out there just as surprized and disappointed by this as I am.

A lot of you have remained plugged in to the Boy Scouts system. You attend meetings, and your kids belong right now.

What can you do to reverse this?

I am not talking about working with this. Reverse it. 100%.

I agree with the poster “stanne”.

This is all or nothing time. We need this reversed, or we need a breakup.

Given the experiences of the Roman Catholic Church and Penn State with adult male homosexuals and young boys, anyone advocating this is either an idiot blinded by ideology and to be ignored or an advocate of child molestation and deserving of a millstone.

Blame who? The BSA deserves much of the blame.

They caved into their largest donor, The Mormon Church, for one thing.

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/344719/jeremy-irons-wonders-could-father-not-marry-his-son-if-same-sex-marriage-were-allowed-

Actor Jeremy Irons Wonders: ‘Could a Father Not Marry His Son’ if Same-Sex Marriage Were Allowed

EXCERPT:

“It seems to me that now we’re fighting for the name, and I worry that it means somehow we debase, or we change, what marriage is,” Irons said. “I just worry about that. I mean tax-wise it’s an interesting one, because, you see, could a father not marry his son?”

When host Josh Zepps said incest laws would prevent such a relationship, Irons countered: “It’s not incest between men. Incest is there to protect us from inbreeding, but men don’t breed, so incest wouldn’t cover that. Now if that were so, then if I wanted to pass on my estate without death duties, I could marry my son, and pass on my estate to him.”

Irons added that “lawyers are going to have a field day with same-sex marriage.”

Why of course GLAAD would, they couldn’t keep their yaps shut at all. GLAAD has no Holy Spirit, the source of self control. And by thus playing out, the spectacle proves why the BSA did wrong. My hope, which I believe is based in the Lord Jesus Christ, is that private organizations would subsume what had been BSA, if by some miracle the shock of seeing this kind of unseemly rush happen does not get BSA leadership to change their minds before the policy change actually kicks in.

The BSA will wait one year, graduate an Eagle Scout Rump Ranger, then claim it is “unfair” to not allow the 18 year old homosexual to become an adult Scout leader.

A real man would have kicked their asses and hard. This religious identity that God is a kind and gentle god is not what the Old Testament had.

Also they have the older boys supervising younger ones NOW without being formal scoutmasters... the camel’s most of the way in the tent and (to mix a metaphor) it is one homosexually horny camel.

God had, and always has had, both sides. Kind to those leaning towards repentance and sanctification; severe to the reprobate.

Did the Mormon church want Homosexual activists to take over the BSA?

That’s news if true.

whatever the BSA did, if it was purely greed and fear of letting go of financial support then of course they are lost as are all who do so in this life.

In a statement released Thursday evening, the BSA reiterated its support for the LGBT community by stating they wouldn't allow the organization to be "consumed by a single, divisive and unresolved societal issue."

And yet, they did.

Oh boy it will be. They posited a fantasy situation. This is one serious spiritual beachhead here.

This makes perfect sense. There was no reason to welcome little queers into scouting if there aren't big queers there to ‘guide’ them.

I wonder what the Fisting merit badge will look like?

My rule of thumb is always this. If a man or woman gets involved with scouts etc., and does not have children involved, then their intentions are highly suspect at best. I would never allow another adult(with the exception of some relatives) spend extra time with my children in absence of their own.

Call me paranoid, but I do not think it is normal for an adult to want to spend time with children of strangers in situations where they may be alone with them or there is some chance there might be nudity.

The only exception to this would be some church events that are supervised by other adults or school teachers(though a lot of them are suspect as well).
