Albert Mohler is the 9th, and current, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (Southern Baptist Convention) in Louisville, KY.

For those coming late to the party, this is an excellent summation of events that have transpired.

Homosexuals and “Progressives” have no desire to join the Boy Scouts and you not see any difference in supposedly “gay” scouts coming out. Just like marriage, they will not avail themselves of this supposedly new advantage.

Rather, their actions are about destruction - take down the key organizations of tradition - church, boy scouts, military, marriage - so that the rest of society can not find stability there.

Its a kind of societal vandalism - I don’t want to use it, but I don’t want you to use it either, so I am going to deface and destroy it.

BSA is a private organization. They have the right to set their standards for membership.

The leftist nazis want their way and will stop at nothing to force everyone to conform.

oh they’ll change the policy, and good parents will keep their kids away from them, and the BSA will become a sad parody of itself. kinda like a monty python version of boy scouts on parade, etc..
and their membership will decline, and nobody will know why, and within a short time they will cease to exist.

I believe no compromise is the order of the day. The BSA shouldn’t even consider it, and am concerned about the BSA leadership that they are.

If the BSA has to tighten their belt due lack of funding, or has to be reduced to local volunteer organizations then so be it. America will rise out of all of this Leftist BS in the future, and the BSA will be able to grow again without such precedence, and history to overcome.

BSA should stand with their convictions.

Most parents are likely to decide that, all things considered, this is just not something they want imposed on their sons.

Count me in that group. I will yank both my boys out of the BSA if they change their policy on this issue. A parent has to protect their children.

Not to be a pessimist, but I suspect that the BSA will yield. There is a lot of political pressure being placed upon them, and I think they will give in.

Sadly, it will cost them dearly as Mohler has clearly stated.

My oldest grandson is an Eagle Scout, serving on the Carrier Bush. His younger brother is a high school sophomore working
on his Eagle project. I tell you this, if the scouts turn gay, knowing their dad, the BSA will be dead to them. Plus their scout troop already has plans to disband if this happens.

But that will suit their enemies just fine. That is their ultimate goal; to eliminate any group that shines a light on their evil.

You’ve got it right. This is exactly what will happen.

I concur with the others. BSA will commit institutional suicide if they change their policy and go along with the winds of the tyranny of political correctness. Our organization is politically incorrect. Deal with it.

This week is really turning out bad.

My closest friend and Assistant Scoutmaster/troop co-founder moved due to a transfer (Army)
My dad died
My car pool partner and friend just quit
I got food poisoning
The organization to which I’ve devoted ten years and countless tens of thousands of volunteer hours is going to become stupid.

They should disband the ‘Boy Scout’ troop and form another one under a different name.

IF they cave in to the queers I will resign as a merit badge counselor. This is disgusting.

Admit the homo boys into scouting today and it will be homo Scout leaders next. Now wait a second,..how many homosexual boys do you know that really want to get into scouting? How many lawsuits have been filed by parents that wanted their homosexual sons to be admitted. Probably none. It’s not about fairness; it’s political BS because they want to either have access to young boys, destroy an institution that creates masculine men and has Christian values, or out of spite to prove they can do it as a warning signal to other conservative elements in their way? We know the answer. Stand firm BSA and give the faggots a good wedgie. The people will support you if you take a stand and prove that you believe in what you teach your scouts; to be brave, courageous, and morally straight. If you bow to the Gaystapo you are done. Finished. No more support from conservative groups at all so think carefully before you vote.

Years ago in my will I included a generous bequest to my church. Unfortunately the church to which my family has belonged for generations has walked away from the teachings of the Bible and they hymns I loved as a child. A year ago I removed the church from my will.

I also had in my will a generous bequest to the university where I received the education that helped me prepare for a successful business career. Over the past two decades it has become a bastion of political correctness and is no longer a place where I would send a young adult to receive a quality education.

Given my disappointment with my alma mater, a year ago I asked my attorney to redraft my will to shift most of the charitable bequest to the Boy Scouts of America. I appears I may soon be calling my attorney again for another revision.

The people putting pressure on the Boy Scouts are a small minority. They don’t want to join the scouts or become leaders. They don’t care if this private institution has to change it’s core values. They just want to destroy anybody or anything that gets in their way of foisting their homosexuality onto society.

I say leave the scouts alone and go start your own organization for gay kids. My family has been involved in scouting for a couple of generations and those of us who are still alive, are all against changing the high principles and standards by which they have always operated. I am an Eagle scout for 50 years now and would not send my medal back like some have done recently but I will not have any respect for the scouts anymore if they buckle under this pressure. The national directors should stand up for what they believe in or resign. They will do more harm than good by changing the rules.
