“Input” is the wrong word to use w.r.t. this subject . . .
My input is this. Go gay and I am pulling my seven year old out.
“Input is the wrong word to use w.r.t. this subject . . .”
For starters YES
The scout oath includes the phrase “morally straight”. To include gays would either require dropping that phrase or declaring that anything anyone wants to do is moral.
Gay Scout Leaders and gay Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts will corrupt the troops and packs and impose legal and financial liability on the BSA.
They will need to add the term “sexually straight” to the Oath.
Well, I sent my input. If they change their policy we are going Boys’ Brigade or similar.
You want my opinion - hell no!
Boy Scout Oath or Promise
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
....and morally straight.
....and morally straight.
....and morally straight.
....and morally straight.
....and morally straight.
....and morally straight.
If you choose to go a different route...get your own source of funding.
go not gay but go anal sex and I take my boys out of the place
Homosexual men mentoring boys when their parents are not around.
What could go wrong??
It was about what I expected, maybe not quite as bad. First, I was asked whether I approved of the current policy. Then I was asked about a number of scenarios featuring holy homosexuals and their supportive chartering organizations. Then I was asked if I had changed my initial reaction to the current policy.
Noticeably missing from the scenarios is this much more likely one: "John and his son James joined the Boy Scouts of America relying upon the expressed policy of standing for traditional morality. After the national organization caved to big money corporate interests and sacrificed the youth of America on the altar of political correctness, John and James could not renounce the teachings of their church and the chartering organization and were forced to withdraw from Scouting. How do you feel about this?"
Nevertheless, I made my beliefs known and received a response along the lines of, "It appears you are concerned about the current direction of Scouting. Would you like a local Council representative to contact you?"
I indicted I would. I suppose our local reps feel much the same as me, but I will tell them what I believe, if I ever hear from them.
Here is my submission I just now sent:
I understand BSA is now asking for feedback on the Gay issue. It is also my understanding that such feedback has been sought now for over 2 years, and the RIGHT answer was given some time ago. Now you are asking again? Make no mistake about this. If BSA capitulates to the gay rights agenda, Scouting will die a very painful and quick death in America. America needs leadership right now! It’s looking more and more like BSA is unwilling to stand up to the pressure. STAND ON PRINCIPLE!!! NOT ON STUPID Web feedback requests that you KNOW the gay rights activists are going to FLOOD with pro-gay, ANTI-GOD, and morally corrupt thinking that contradicts EVERYTHING that Scouting is about. Take a stand, and STAY THERE!... put your faith in GOD... not feedback results! We talk a lot about Faith in God in Scouting. Well, It’s time to put some of that faith to a test. Stand your ground. Trust God. Watch and see how HE will bless Scouting as a result.
That scared me. For a split second, “mentoring” looked like “entering” . . .
I am disturbed that they are “asking”.
