Boy Scouts of America Should Drop ‘to God’ and ‘Morally Straight’ From Oath
http://familypolicy.net ^ | May 23, 2013 | Family Policy Network

Posted on 05/25/2013 3:52:24 AM PDT by NKP_Vet

FPN President Joe Glover issued the following response to today’s announcement that the Boy Scouts of America will permit open homosexuality among troop members:

Glover said:

“The Boy Scouts of America should drop the phrase ‘to God’ and ‘morally straight’ from their oath, since they’ve decided to reject His standards of morality. The Bible clearly states homosexuality is a sin against God, and yet the Boy Scouts of America has decided to allow it.”

Boy Scouts will be the proper name as shamefull as it will be. These boys will grow up and become Scout leaders and be assured they will be scouting for boy’s. It’s all over now!

“No youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone”

Yep, that's pretty inclusive of any perversion. Opens the door to drag queen scouts, Sodomite Scout, pedophile scouts, Warlock scouts, etc.

Scouting was a great experience for me. It is sad to see this organization sign it's own death warrant.

People think it’s not one or the other, but it is. It might not be kneeling at an altar, but what’s the difference? It’s in.

People think we set the rules but we don’t. We either work for and get God’s presence in an institution, or we’re on our own and we are just not strong enough without His help to keep it out, kneeling at a particular altar or not.

Watch what happens.

As seen at Sandy Hook, if one cares to look, that is, there is no in between. Eliminate God and His Word from an institution and invite the enemy - he’s not going to leave it alone, if that’s what people think - especially where the formation of children is concerned.

And this eliminates God’s Word. Sex is for two people married to each other for the right reasons. It is not for 17 year old boys. And boys need guidance in this. the BSA has always recognized boys’ struggle with temptation.

You shove God out of a youth institution and there is no protection.

For example, people don’t see that the US cannot look away from legalizing abortion and expect God’s protection for the country.

Look at what is going on and the trends in government. Just look at Issa and his incompetence in managing these hearings. That alone portrays the powerlessness of anyone hoping to get rid of massive corruption while we are busy telling God to stay out of everything.

The BSA has just shoved God out. People pretend that spiritual vacuum will not get filled as they pretend the enemy does not exist or that it does not thrive on institutions which tear apart the family, and formative institutions, but that thinking, see, hear speak no evil, is just not effective in keeping it out. It’s there.

When we realize they do not care that they are hated, it’ll be a step in the right direction. They don’t care about our approval, They just use that as a tactic to gain sympathy and power

It's important to note that this measure wasn't taken under political pressure, but under indirect financial pressure from the BSA's corporate donors.

Personally, I think the organization lost track of its underlying mission years ago. Once you get to the point where you are groveling for corporate donations, then you aren't really true to your mission anymore and have become nothing more than a business enterprise. It isn't just the BSA who falls into this trap, but ANY organization that is run in a similar manner.

Frothy mouthed? Did he promise a jihad on the lately great BSA? Or simply to deny it his future support (I thought we didn’t believe in entitlements?)

Unless there’s more I have missed, what he said sounds like well aimed rhetoric to me. Why of course they won’t, but it needs to be said.

If a scout must “demonstrate behavior that exemplifies the highest level of good conduct and respect for others,” then what happens when little Jimmy tells his gay tentmate at the campout that he believes in the Bible, and it states that homosexuality is wrong? Has he not just disrespected others — specifically the one group of “others” explicitly approved for membership by the new rule?

You can be sure that lawyers will be all over anyone expressing other than complete adulation for the homosexual lifestyle. Yet I am hearing a lot of people justify keeping their kids in scouting or continuing in their leadership positions on the grounds that they can be good influences on homosexual leaning boys.

There will likely develop a new, explicitly parachurch Scouts with its own name, program, and mission.

If the expression can be pardoned, it looks like an occasion for distinguishing the men from the boys.

I think such a thing will create an uproar.

There are religous organizations/churches that have their own version of “Boy Scouts”, are they too required to abide by the rules now set forth? I think NOT!

Distinguishing men from boys starts with mothers doing their job and teaching, with the help from formative groups like the former BSA, their sons ho to manage sex temptations.

Separating men from boys is necessary in civilized society.

But we are afraid to say so. Most adults, and look at the numbers on women who vote pro abortion, are not willing to gibe up licentiousness long enough to raise kids. Men.

And when they do, they are faced with raging peers many of whom have had abortions. That’s just the women.

There are a lot of guys out there, and this is separating the men from the guys, who vote pro life, but just for convenience as they are voting pro money for me, and think they’re not contributing to raising morally vacuous kids. But they hang on to the ability to treat sex like recreation and they are not going to give that up. Not even for the sake of preserving the country by raising moral kids, working for morality in politics and business and marrying moral women who will raise their sons to be men.

So, asking for permission to say separating men from boys should give on e pause.

BTW, if a guy says he has 2 kids, that he knows of, the old supposed to be funny joke, truthfully, he doesn’t know how many of his kids have been murdered through abortion by his sex partners. He is bothered by that, whether he knows it or not. That’s natural law.

The Boy Scouts of America should change their name to Scout for Boys in America.

the love of money being the root of all evil.

I asked, recently, a dad very active in the BSA and very concerned about this, what does BSA need money for, as this was obviously a corporate takeover.

they don’t know.

It’s so centralized and out of their control.

If parents aren’t able to run it and say no to formatively dangerous practices it’s over.

Will there be other groups? Yes. they won’t have badges etc that are recognized for a long time. And they’ll not be recognized by institutions which don’t like morality, ie, Academia, certain corporations.

Well, that’s what’s going on. people think we can accept wholesale legal abortion and not have this spiritual battle and they lose their way.

But takeover of formative institutions is part of it. They are just not safe.

Most adults accept fornication as normal. That’s where fifty five million abortions and, its root causative agent, birth control, come from.

Teaching kids that fornication is okay, by living it, brings this stuff around.

The BSA cannot be protected from the acceptance of fornication as normal, if even the family is not.

No way.
