Aga and Anne, could we all look at the Heavenly Father and put a lid on the bickering?
I don’t understand quite what a substantive difference is here. We are all filled with consternation over what has occurred to the BSA. Coulda, woulda, shoulda, can this all be put under the blood of Christ and we begin anew? What do we do NOW? I think the Father is warning us to correct our own loose embrace of Him, which has led to a loss of power.
Sure, Care to say something about your Catholic bashing?:
“I wish it were true, if you mean the Roman Catholic church according to the flesh (kata sarkos). Some “ideal church” which doesn’t count the perved priests, I suppose so. I can say that there would be a holy stir if this new Pope Francis decided to pay some of these gay parishes a personal visit to call them out on it. The internet has made the world small, this is not like St. Peter’s world.”
There's a lot to crawl out from under and a lot of Heavenly shots being fired over the bow as state after state collapses to the homo-mafia and the USSC takes up California's Prop 8 in June. Courts and legislatures are ram jamming this stuff yet only two states: MD and WA actually put gay marriage out to a vote where the populace voted to approve state sanctioned abomination.
Fact is your average rank and file Boy Scout troop was not given a say so with representatives and delegates to the kangaroo conclave in Grapevine,TX, and allowing for free and open debate with supporters and non-supporters all going on record.
The grass roots BSA stood up and won to keep the faggots out at the USSC in 2000 on the basis of NJ BSA's Constitutionally protected right of association in a private membership organization. My then soon-to-be Eagle Scout boys and I were with the BSA at that time.
How many local councils have the jack to keep going to the USSC for such things?
This was an infiltration into the funding networks. How do Eagle Scouts fight that unless they too are on the Boards of all these organizations themselves? Does "stanne" have evidence that those who are Eagles didn't try to stand up and instead wound up being outvoted by others on those Boards?
This was a coup. Might want to remind your friend "stanne" of that fact.
FReegards!
