Meanwhile, the BSA is dealing with sex abuse lawsuits.

And there could be more financial damage to come, with jurors set to go back to court next week to decide whether the Scouts must pay up to $25 million in punitive damages.

The verdict delivered Tuesday by a Portland jury was based partly on the introduction as evidence of more than 1,000 so-called "perversion files" secretly kept by the Boy Scouts of America at the group's national headquarters from 1965 to mid-1984.

Boy Scouts sex trial shifts to punitive damages

If the Boy Scouts go gay, will they be renamed The “Rump Rangers”?

and it will continure to go on as usual because Christian parents won’t take a stand and remove their children from the group, just like with the girl scouts

There is a small group on the Executive Committee of the Boy Scouts who want this policy to change. What they face is a membership that largely opposes the measure. So, they try to get their way by lying about a poll.

Name them and expel them.

The leadership has been infiltrated by Nambla symps.

The fight has just begun. The Boy Scouts will eventually be a farm for pedos.

This is so easy to combat: just understand that the organization has been taken over by an enemy invasion and shut the entire kit and caboodle the f**k down. Form new local ad hoc organizations that don’t rely on corporate money. Rough it for a while.

Exactly. If you want to see the upshot of allowing gay scoutmasters, look no further than the problems the Catholic church has faced with the antics of the pederast priests.

Nobody is prevented from being a Scout because they’re homosexual. What prevents them from being Scouts is the ludicrous demand that everybody else “celebrate” their OPEN, BLATANT faggotry.

If they keep their sexual affairs private, as they should, there wouldn’t be an issue. The Scout in the story simply HAD TO announce he was “gay”.

No he didn’t. He did so because he was demanding others accept, and “celebrate” his perversion.

And that he has NO right to whatsoever.

Rough it for a while. How much money can they need to sell themselves and ruin an American institution which is formative for men. Football will go the same way.

They need to stop worrying about money.

Not money but “the love of money is the root of all evil”.

1 Timothy 6:10 RSV
Revised Standard Version

For the love of money is the root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced their hearts with many pangs.

1 Timothy 6:10 NIV
New International Version

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

I predicted this in 2002: first the Catholic Church, then the Boy Scouts, then the Mormons and the Southern Baptist Convention. Why? Because they're particularly pedo? No. Because they LGBT's have an enemies list. They need to trash them, defile them, and take them down.

(Searching around on my cluttered desk, looking for the dern clue...)

These “leaders” are doing a numbers game. How much money will they lose if they maintain the status quo vs how much money they will lose if they allow gays in scouting.

In other words, which decision is most likely going to pay for their executive salaries and perks? :(

This is the highest consideration.

Not sure re: Boy Scouts, Catholic Church nor Mormons but we in the SBC have fought back against liberalism at least once before when it had already almost tossed out biblical scripture against such sin and we're ready to take the fight to any leadership that wants to "bend over" to the LGBT leaning bunch again!

Even though we've lost some of the stalwart leaders of the past, there are still enough strength in the conservative seminaries and pastors who are ready and willing to fight the good fight again, when and if necessary no matter how many other denominations grab their ankles and cave!

We know we fight not against princes nor principalities but against the forces of darkness that hate Christ and hate His commandments against sin.

That was my thought, too. Just take it away from them, create your own little "cells" of Boy Scouts. There certainly have been enough guys who have gone through BS to know how to run one.

1. No poofters.

2. No member of the faculty is to maltreat the "Abos" in any way whatsoever - if there's anyone watching.

3. No poofters.

4. I don't want to catch anyone not drinking in their room after lights out.

5. No poofters.

6. There is NO! . . . rule six.

7. No poofters.
