RE :” Do you at least concur that as long as the BS were not completely funded by private sources and the free market that the issue of allowing certain segments of the population to join was always going to be a major issue that they would struggle with?”

LM is a private source that gets most of its contracts from the Feds.

maybe what you are getting at is that they should accept no corporate $$$.

Oh no, I think corporate $$$ is fine as long as it is money the corporation got from private, as opposed to public, contracts and sources. The point is that when you get into an issue of organizations getting public funding of any kind, then they lose their freedom of association.

Perhaps I had some misunderstanding about the BS situation in the first place. Was it merely a myth and a false allegation that they were getting gov’t subsidies of any kind, and that all their funding was really from private sources like LM? If there is reliable info on this, I would love to see it. I think the notion that the BS was getting gov’t subsidies is what really did them in when it came to enforcing Christian morality within the organization.
