I've contributed to the BB/BS program for years. But not now. This really makes me question their concern for and ability to be mentoring children. I need to buy that book that Cal Thomas wrote - I believe he basically said that American institutions have become so corrupted that they can not be changed, and we are better off forming parallel institutions rather than wasting our time.

It's like putting a fox in th hen house....why can't they SEE that??
They are foxes themselves.
To: kattracks
If the parents get a resume of the volunteers and the "sexual orientation" of the volunteer is clearly listed, then BB/BS
might not get sued when a volunteer molests a child.
If you have a son, don't do BB/BS, sign your son up with Boy Scouts. If you have a daughter, I don't know what to advise you, except to remember this one (of 8) simple rules for dating my daughter. It's from a book I saw recently in a bookstore, but I can't remember the author.
You may have heard that if you have sex without a barrier it can be dangerous and could even kill you. Let me be more clear. When it comes to sex, I am the barrier and I will kill you.
Shalom.

This is against my religion. And just as I would not want my kid exposed to the drug scene, I would not want my kid exposed to homosexuals. It's also not safe for the kid as homosexuals are many more times more likely to molest children than heterosexuals.
Shalom.

Is this culture really worth saving? As it is today? Probably not. As it was 100 years ago? Definately. In the middle somewhere? Pick your year and we'll discuss it.
Shalom.

I believe we've had this discussion once before....

"I need to buy that book that Cal Thomas wrote - I believe he basically said that American institutions have become so corrupted that they can not be changed, and we are better off forming parallel institutions rather than wasting our time."
How about a list:
What are the alternatives to the Girl Scouts or to Big Brothers and Big Sisters for example?

Lemme get this straight...
It's BAD for the Catholic Church to expose children homosexual (scratch that: insert "pedophile") Priests, but GOOD to expose children to homosexual (scratch that: insert "openly gay and lesbian") volunteers?
As that famous American Icon, politician and current jailbird would say, "Beam me up, Scotty!!"

Because they think gay-ness is wonderful, and a heterosexual society is oppressive to gays. They want as many chances for homos to get to young boys as possible to seduce them into the homo death-style. I'm serious. They know what they are doing.
To: Arthur Wildfire! March
But my mom, and a lot of other moms, would not turn to the Big Brothers with this sick taint on it. This is not about helping kids. This is about cramming homosexuality down everyone's throat. I'm all for homosexuals being equal citizens. But a parent has the right to free exercize of religion. This is against my religion. And just as I would not want my kid exposed to the drug scene, I would not want my kid exposed to homosexuals. I agree. When they start coming after children, it's time to fight. It's the same with homosexual scoutmasters in the Boy Scouts. That's way, way over the line for me (and my children).
To: I still care
Why? Do you think you will hear about it? Do you remember when the boy scout leader was accused of molesting young boys, and all the mainstream media could talk about was that he worked in a church? I do, and they couldn't even call him homosexual (despite that fact that he molested several teenage boys). Geesh! The homosexual Catholic molester priests all work in Church too. That says a lot to the teenage boys raped by these perverted men.
To: EdReform
"And what about the S&M's (sadomasochists)? S&M's have their place in the homosexual community so they certainly couldn't discriminate against them. "
Sadomasochists also have their place in the hetero community. Should they be banned?
How do you propose the organization screen for them?

They want as many chances for homos to get to young boys as possible to seduce them into the homo death-style. I'm serious. They know what they are doing. The same in the Boy Scouts and the public schools. They've already found their young boys in the Catholic Church, and the result has been horrific.
To: Greeklawyer
What are the alternatives to the Girl Scouts or to Big Brothers and Big Sisters for example? Try checking out American Heritage Girls. It's a new scouting movement for girls, with the traditional values and morals and beliefs Girls Scouts originally inclucated, but later scorned. AHG is vastly, vastly superior to Girl Scouts.
To: ArGee
It's also not safe for the kid as homosexuals are many more times more likely to molest children than heterosexuals. Which is exactly what the Catholic homosexual molestation scandal shows.
To: yendu bwam
Beyond belief. The homos claim that they are not pederasts, but secretly they cheer on the homo pederast "chicken hawks" for seducing more mixed up boys into their homo death style.

Only stupid stupid parents would turn their teenage boys over to homosexual scoutmasters, priests or mentors. More and more are learning that, tragically.

Sadomasochists also have their place in the hetero community. Should they be banned? Sound's reasonable. You could ask on the application form if the person is into several fetishes that suggest a mental problem. You could also ask about fetishes that do not suggest a mental problem. Then screen out those that volunteer the information or refuse to answer.
Why ask for trouble for other people's children?
Shalom.
