All teens need to be taught by their parents, teachers, pastors and mentors that their sexual desires are not their identity, nor do they need to be controlled by them. Who we are is so much greater than our appetites, sexual or otherwise. And all of us can learn, by God’s grace, to master and subdue our desires.

5/24/2013 – Churches to have 'hard discussion' about Scouts

"... Rich Peck, communications director for the General Commission on United Methodist Men, said the organization would continue its affiliation with BSA. But local churches, some of which have voiced disapproval of the policy change, may choose to end their charters. The group had issued a statement in February asking the BSA Executive Board to delay the vote in order to give them more time to consider its implications. ..."
"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization".It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism."--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)

Thank you for the mixed news re the Methodists’ position[s]. I remain skeptical.
“No one should hate anyone ever. No one should call other people names, bully them, ridicule them, intimidate them, etc. That is wrong. Period. Christians who bully and intimidate others- whether they are homosexuals or Muslims, atheists or Wiccans- are dishonoring Christ and disobeying Scripture, which commands us to love our neighbors as ourselves.”
Hmmm...wonder if the writer ever read Matthew 23:
13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in. 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.
16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’ 17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred? 18 And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’ 19 You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it. 22 And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it.
23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 24 You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.”
Guess Jesus didn’t get the message about being polite and meek in the presence of evil.
Don’t know what type of discharges they got but most likely is was a general discharge. You have to do something really bad to get a dishonorable. Most dishonorable discharges usually end with jail time.
Thank you for your reply.
Thank you for your relpy.
CottShop, You must be new. The communist goals of 1963 WERE put into the Congressional record in .... wait for it.... 1963. They may be older but are referred to as 1963 because that is when it was read into the Congressional record.
And on another note for all those who read your threads.
I am sure you have lots to say and it is probably important but if you are going to type so fast that every single time you mean to say “the” it comes out as “hte” and “about “ is “abotu” and every “ing” word ends with “ign” it is VERY hard to read. After 3 of your posts I just don’t try to read your stuff anymore.
FR will underline in red a misspelled word, all you have to do it PREVIEW BEFORE POSTING. Once posted it can not be changed.
PLEASE, have mercy on your fellow freepers. We don’t have time to read dozens of threads and comments if they are so completely misspelled. Thank you.
It appears that you are typing on a tablet or smart phone. Those tiny virtual keyboards are a nuisance.
But I agree with EVERYTHING you said!
I was a drug addict, but Christ set me free! I no longer need to wallow in that sinful existence. Christ even removed the desire to do drugs.
I submit that addiction to drugs is even stronger than sexual inclinations.
[[After 3 of your posts I just don’t try to read your stuff anymore]]
htat’s fine- I coem here to rant- not to becoem an undiscovered literary genius that everyone gushes over- And it’;s not because I type that that the letters get transposed- it’s a neutrological problem similiar that causes a problem to dyslexia
[[We don’t have time to read dozens of threads and comments if they are so completely misspelled]]
That’s fine- I don’t have tiem to correct the many manym any typing mistakes I make- my time is limitted too- I gave up in frustration tyring ot correct my posts years ago
I'd bet a bunch of them are either in the closet or have been compromised by a recorded incident.
[[It appears that you are typing on a tablet or smart phone.]]
Sadly no- I’m typing on a full fledged keyboard- my typign is horrible, I apologize
I too was addicted to drugs- (As well aqs to cigarettes which was the hardest drug of all for me to be able to stop)- First to illegal drugs, then to legal one- hydrocodone by perscription- Quitting the drugs was them ost horrible hting ever- I only just quit smoking a year and a half ago and still to this day I crave it- So I’m in compelte agreement with you abotu the power of drugs-
When I quit them with Christ’s help- He finally convinced me I was NOT goign to die going htrough withdrawals, and that I simply needed to take it one minute at a time i nthe beginning, then one hour then one day, one week etc- for every hour that went by I was able to hold onto the victories I had gained by beign druig free for hte previosu hours and it was enough for me to say “Nope- not gonna waste thsoe hard won hours- Gonna stick with it”
Alcohopl was another issue for me- but thankfully God made it impossible for me to drink any longer due to health and the pain it caused-
As someone put it- We are not slaves to our desires- we do have hte pwoer through Christ to overcome sin- but it’s just that some are not willing to submit thinkign that they can’t overcoem the lusts and desires- but the fact is millions upon millions of ex-drug addicts alcoholics can attest to the fact that it’s not goign to kill us to obey God and He WILL see us through- If we allow Him to
You’re welcome. If you’re interested in a more in-depth study on how a Christian man should deal Biblically with all topics involving sexual issues, I highly recommend this book by Reformed pastor Douglas Wilson-

I hope the BSA survives. And God bless you.
I attended an Eagle Court of Honor today and my faith in the BSA has been strengthened. It was very moving. The young man who received his Eagle Scout award is just a wonderful kid! There were about 7 men in the Eagle’s Nest. Now this was pretty much a LDS event. I see how the LDS Church will continue to support the BSA and if others want to drop out so be it. “Morally straight!”

I think you’re a liar. That, or the “local Catholic Church” is lying about being Catholic.
Morally straight combined with acceptance of homosexuality is a contradiction in terms.
