BSA - “TAPS!”
My Grand Son will never join Boy Scouts now.
Well, as it’s been mentioned here, time to start the Junior Militia Movement for these youngsters.
Good for the SBC
They are doing the right thing in disassociating with this filth
For any who don't know, the Southern Baptist Convention is not any sort of ruling body. They take positions and pass resolutions, but each SB church functions with a great deal of independence. Most will probably leave BSA, but not all.
The Boy Scouts says Baptist churches currently sponsor nearly 4,000 units, containing more than 100,000 kids.
I hope more do this than those numbers. The Boy Scouts of America has a population of 2.6 million this year.
Good for the Baptists!
The BSA is an organization that has, or ought to have had, no sexual component. While I happen to believe that homosexual acts are sinful (as opposed to one’e orientation, which probabaly can’t be controlled), the issue has no place in the Boy Scouts. It should not have been addressed, and left to leaders and sponsors to deal with, if and when necessary, meaning only if someone started acting on their impulses.
The SBC is making a terrible tactical and strategic mistake. The Devil wants sin to stay in the dark and hidden. Every publicly declared homosexual boy in the Scout is an opportunity to testify of Christ and to transform lives.
Furthermore, hearing the stories and watching the transformations or resistances to change will innoculate Christian youth like nothing else can. Real life, direct experience with the misery of the homosexual lifestyle is being kept from the public and via government schools is perverted into praise for a depressing, unhappy lifestyle.
Learning to love the sinner and hate the sin is the goal of every Christian.
