Boy Scouts to vote on policy involving gays

The polarizing debate over whether Boy Scouts of America should allow gay members could culminate with a vote on a new policy Wednesday.

But no matter which way the vote goes, activists on both sides aren't going to be satisfied.

The controversy pits leaders of religious groups that sponsor about 1 million Boy Scouts against activists who want the organization to end its ban on openly gay Scouts and Scout leaders.

Neither side is happy with BSA's proposal to let local troops decide if they want to allow gay members.

[Yosemitest]

I very much agree on that point.
I thought you was suggesting we shouldn't "send them to hell".
Sorry, my mistake.

[who knows what evil?]

No problem...I guess I’m not very articulate...my apologies.

[Yosemitest]

"This is exactly how liberals operate:
one “compromise” at a time, always appearing publicly displeased with the results,
but grinning like a devil when the cameras aren’t on
because they know the next “compromise” is just around the corner
thanks to the spineless twits who lack resolve to STAND AGAINST EVIL."

You have the "Liberal standard operating procedure" nail!
We should go back to the standard that

homosexuality is a mental problem, and institutionalize them all.

They're a clear and present danger to the health of us all.
We should OBEY God.

Pray for their repentence and conversion to Christ.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Less we forget.
On my honor I will do my best:
To do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the scout law;
To help other people at all times;
to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

No wonder the left is anti-scouting.

[Biggirl]

AMEN to that.

Remember we are ALL SINNERS in NEED of the MERCY of God.

Best to pray for the repentence and conversion of those who practice sinful behaviors.

As a District Commissioner I can tell you that we are very nervous about this vote. Many Charter Organizations are threatening to pull out. While they would be able to set a local policy, it doesn’t really protect their youth at Summer Camp where they may be camping with Troops with gay leaders and boys. Some have said they won’t allow their youth to attend Summer Camp, which would make attaining an Eagle Rank next to impossible. The consequences at the local levels are far reaching indeed.... could be a sad day today.... and a lot of work for me, which is never a good thing!

[BykrBayb]

Are you planning to slay some of them yourself, or are you just trying to recruit others to do the killing?

[BykrBayb]

You’re right. I pray for them, and for myself.

[Biggirl]

Look for alternate camps to be set up.

[Tuxedo]

Look for alternate camps to be set up.

That may happen. Was at one of the Charter Org Churches last night and one of the congregation was asking a lot about this very topic. The Scoutmaster said they could try to have a Troop-only Summer Camp but that part of the overall experience would be lost and the burden would fall heavier on the parents and leaders to provide that concentrated of a program. Someone even having an alternate camp would invite legal challenges and protests. This is just a subtly planted nuclear bomb to the BSA.

[Yosemitest]

"Pray for their repentence and conversion to Christ."

That would be nice, but for the most part, ineffective.
For homosexuals

"your iniquities have SEPARATED between you and your God,
and your sins have HID his face from you,
that he will NOT hear"

But sometimes ... it does work.

[Yosemitest]

OBEY God!

[Arm_Bears]

Indeed, why there are people on the Board who disagree with the mission and values of Scouting is beyond me.

[Biggirl]

Read somewhere on FR that a number of churches that sponsor troops say that if the BSA accepts gays they will no longer accept Boy Scout troops at the church run camps.

[Biggirl]

Just BELIEVE in God!

[Vaquero]

Never going to remove all gays. It has been around since forever.
It would be nice if it were re-closetized. The blatant flaunting of it is what is sickening and will (is?) tear down western society. People who show pride in this aberrant lifestyle is destroying America. The soviets(now the Russians ) were the ones who pushed this on us as a form of undermining of our society. You may have notice that the Putin administration has criminalized homosexuality in HIS Russia.

Back in the closet with ye, faggots.(but then leave them alone as long as they are not doing it in public, are pedophiles or are even teaching your children)

[dead]

If we’re going to let gay men take young boys into the woods for sleepovers, why not let heterosexual men take young girls into the woods for sleepovers?

[Guenevere]

I hope everyone reading this will take a few seconds, a few minutes to PRAY for those who vote today.

Intercessory prayer is powerful and God does hear!

Pray that righteousness & Godly morals will.... stand... with the Boy Scouts of America.

[Yosemitest]

"Just BELIEVE in God!"

Not enough!

Remember:

"For the time is come that JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN at the house of God:
and if it first begin at us,
what shall the end be of them that obey NOT the gospel of God?"

Remember:

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit;
but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

NOT every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, SHALL ENTER into the kingdom of heaven;
but HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them,
I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.
Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them,
I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house;
and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT,
shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house;
and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
For he taught them as one having authority,
and not as the scribes.
