I pulled these stats from a thread I saw a couple of days ago.
It represents the number of UNITS across the country and what church organizations are sponsoring them:
• Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — 37,856.
• United Methodist Church — 10,868.
• Catholic Church — 8,397.
• Presbyterian Church — 3,597.
• Lutheran Church — 3,827.
• Baptist churches — 3,981.
This pretty much seals it for me... the Mormons OWN scouting, with or without this vote on gays.
It has been made abundantly clear to me that what is really going on here is God’s testing... not just of the BSA, but of the churches themselves, and ultimately the individual.
He is separating the wheat from the chaff.
It is very difficult to fight for that which God is taking from you.
The question is where do the Mormon's stand? "If" Mormons voted as a block to allow gays, then I'd agree that the organization is dead.
But Mormons have in the past taken a stand against gay marriage. But then Romney called for the scouts to allow gays. So I'm not sure where Mormon's stand on the issue. They may need to clean house of their delegates.
The other question is are Mormon's using their influence in the Scouts to promote Mormonism? That would be a problem too.
