From my years of observing how Mormon policy evolves, it seems they have weathervane spirits. Whatever keeps them viable as a political organization. Well I think their weathervane just got pulled into a tornado this time.

Yes, but Jesus said in the New Testament that you forgive your brother seven x seventy times.
The diabolical thing is, it is almost impossible to forgive, which goes along with the other thing that Jesus said, that it is harder for a person to get into heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.

GLAAD should mind their own business and go away, but BSA has indeed made a big mistake.

A healthy dose of caution is called for, however some singles might well have the right heart.

Agree. Someone said (on another thread) that it's too late for this foolish nonsense to be completely reversed. Praying it's not, and that 1,000's of Scout families and supporters will come out, in masse, to take BSA back.
If that can't be done, then your 2nd option, disband and regroup, is all that's left.

You have to ask them. Though, they are allowing open gay members in their church now. Doesn't seem okay to me. Romney did not allow the Boy Scouts in the Salt Lake City Olympics opening ceremonies since they refused to allow gay scouts. Romney was the person who had the control of that. I am not buying it was just one group caving. I think it was planned for a long time on the inside by political correctness and weakness. Imo.

To forgive does not mean to forego caution. Forgiving does not mean making yourself a doormat or never saying no or pretending that what was wrong wasn’t wrong. It ultimately means turning the matter over to an almighty God who, if He can see even a chink of an opening in the sinner’s wicked armor will use that to try to win the sinner. And sometimes He even uses humans as part of His actions of winning them.

Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers... [Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform]
- ...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said. [Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance]

One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website... a moderate Republican who is fiscally conservative but also supports gay marriage and Roe v. Wade... [Geraldo Rivera declares himself a 'moderate Republican' as he eyes U.S. Senate run]

The once proud Boy Scouts of America has been highjacked by NAMBLA (the North American Man Boy Love Assoc). Keep your kids away!

I think in this case the spectacle could be helpful... by all means GLAAD please do jump into this thing with all fours and one swollen dong. Maybe the BSA leadership will be shocked into doing an 180 here.

“Homos wants themselves some young, fresh meat!
Any parent that is stupid enough to keep their kids in the the Scouts frankly deserves to have them molested. The BSA is a disgrace to everything it once stood for.”
Sane parents will!!
The ones who don’t? Those are the same parents who “let” their boys sleep over at Michael Jackson’s home even after the first charge of child molestation. We all know why those parents “let” their children stay at Jackson’s house.

“They caved into their largest donor, The Mormon Church, for one thing.”
->Did the Mormon church want Homosexual activists to take over the BSA?
“You have to ask them”
I was asking you. But now I’ll drop it. It was just a feeling you had, not a fact.

Well the Jackson situation was different. They wanted the vicarious fame of the kids rubbing elbows (though it appeared to be more than elbows by the time this thing was through) with Jackson.
Come to think of it, maybe BSA is similar. Parents want the prestige.

The Sodomite "demand" for adult leadership positions in the formerly moral scouts is a logical consequence of the recent "gay Boy" resolution.
Lord! I admire the left. These Sodomites and their leftist supporters never give up. The Sodomites want the young boys, and set out to get them, and did get them. They are within millimeters of fulfilling their hearts desire.
If we on the right had the leftist intelligence, organization, media savvy, creativity and patience we would be in control instead of losing on such critical issues. Just think of the possible expansion of homosexual Sodomy!

You can play on words..like want..and seem to be fair..
To: AEMILIUS PAULUS
Quit admiring the left and how about admiring the Lord God Almighty who never stopped being Wonderful? He tells us that if we are jaded it isn’t His fault... it’s ours. He’s not going to put on vacuous entertainment shows to a dulled people, but if we rediscover Him in praise, then the power will pour out again.

You said the Mormon church was complicit and when asked you said I was supposed to do the research.
that’s a waste of everyone’s time and attention and it is a play on words and logic.
State the facts of your accusations against the Mormon church or drop the slander, please and do keep me out of it.

Actually, that picture is a powerful image.
It clearly defines who the good guys and bad guys are.
We will not win the battle with our words or our fists.
We will win the battle by changing hearts.
