Has paid us a couple of visits. Reeks of phony. But he sure sucked in the SLC liberals.
Chrislam is tailor-made for LDS ‘inclusion’ don’tchaknow.
In 2011, Mormon-sponsored packs and troops accounted for more than one-third of the country’s scout units, and the 421,000 boys they enrolled, from ages 8 to 18, made up 15 percent of the country’s 2.7 million registered scouts.
As Partners, Mormons and Scouts Turn Boys Into Men
In 2000, when a challenge to the exclusionary policy was argued, unsuccessfully, before the Supreme Court, lawyers for the Mormons said that if the Boy Scouts were forced to accept openly gay members, the church would leave. In an interview this month, Mr. Beck said he could not speculate about a hypothetical situation, but he added, “We want to continue relations with the B.S.A. far into the future.”
u
Yes
Well, they sure as heck ain’t Christians.
It appears that once again the leaders are doing one thing and the uninformed membership is confused.
It really is simple - acceptance of homosexuality = acceptance of polygamy
Then mormons will not have to hide their practice of polygamy in the temple ceremony called “celestial marriage”, they will be able to practice it openly.
You got that right. They even have revelations. They just want to be left alone in order that they can gather and manage their billions.
The vote has not happened yet. It is scheduled for May. It is perfectly reasonable for concerned members of the BSA family to discuss the issues and lobby the voting members.

The LDS formally renounced polygamy in 1890 after being informed by Congress that the Utah Territory would never be admitted to the Union if polygamy remained enshrined in the Mormon church.
Six years later Utah became a state.
LDS has practiced more historical revisionism than the Soviet Union. Alcohol & tobacco were not proscribed until the 20th century. The Book of Mormon has been retailored so many times that owning an early 19th century BoM could now be dangerous.
Their stand on letting fags into the Boy Scouts can be understood in the context of their plummeting recruitment stats. LDS is losing, not gaining, membership and not even their practice of baptising the dead is reversing this trend. Endorsing gays is nothing more than outreach for new members.
No one has voted, yet
Oh Contrair, The LDS Church is and has been on the front line for defending traditional mairrage.
The polygamy thing was 125 years ago, and had forced the church leadership/membership to go underground.
Your analysis is obviously prejudiced.
I havent heard of this recent claim and am very dubious that it isn’t more of the Anti-Mormon smear,inuendo,distort, and fabricate campaign.
I have heard that a big reason the National Boy Scout association has refused to allow Gay Leaders is because the LDS church has threatened to break off and form thier own program
mormons still practice polygamy, it is called “celestial marriage”, and it is not underground.
I mourn yet another religious group becoming targets of the enemy and watching their church and doctrine fall to corruption.
Yeppers - they need to keep trying to convince themselves that Obama was the better choice. They are like the pharisees who couldn't recognize Christ because they were so superior in every way that any ray of light needed to be doused that they might glow pure and perfect.
Comparing Romney to Christ? Shirley you jest. That is a hugh miss steak don’tchaknow. marginalized yourself so quickly ...
Had no intention of comparing Romney with Christ - was making the point that so many are so full of themselves that they would be as the pharisees in thinking so much of themselves that they would have to sneer down at any candidate that failed to live up to their standards. Sorry I had to spell it out to get past the knee-jerk reaction.
Only an agenda driven fool would assume a carefully crafted sarcastic post was kneejerk, jerk.
Are you trying to compare Romney to Jesus Christ?
That’s just weird dude.
I saw the play Book of Mormon—all they are interested in is anal sex—and Money. It was an accurate look at this bizarre church! Glad Mitt didn’t win—he would have forced all Americans to become Mormons. Now we get to be Moslims.
