Doesn't it also state in the Bible that Jesus wants us to love one another, WITHOUT JUDGMENT???<br /><br />I was a girl scout for ten years of my youth. I LOVED my experiences with scouts: the potlucks, camps, meetings, arts/crafts, etc. Never once did sexuality come up as part of scouting. What I didn't realize at the time is that I was also a lesbian. I didn't really figure that part out until I was in college. Scouting had absolutely nothing to do with it. It is simply part of who I am, just as I am also a woman, Native American, etc etc. I do not prey on or attempt to influence young girls. That is not homosexuality, that is pedophilia. I attempt to maintain high morals and integrity in every aspect of my life. I work hard to maintain my faith and to consider the consequences of my actions in all that I do. I am committed to becoming the most loving, caring, selfless person I can be although I know I will make many mistakes on my journey. My goal is to love, respect, and accept everyone unconditionally, just as Jesus did. I truly believe, regardless of what the Bible states or doesn't state, that God MADE ME WHO I AM and I try to honor Him in all I do. Using God as a reason to exclude or assert bias against ANY group of people is simply wrong. It is HIS responsibility to judge, NOT OURS.Jennifer Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217892566352331822.post-74635804970894053692013-07-02T09:23:29.455-07:002013-07-02T09:23:29.455-07:00Title of your post should be “There Was No Sex In ...Title of your post should be “There Was No Sex In Scouting.” That is until the ghey activists decided to homosexualize the Boy Scouts. Eligibility for Boy Scouts begins at age eleven. I don’t believe many boys that age are indulging in much fornicating of either the hetero- or homosexual variety, maybe fantasizing some, but not practicing.<br /><br />The scout oath states:<br /><br />On my honor, I will do my best <br />To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; <br />To help other people at all times; <br />To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.<br /><br />In America, God is generally understood to be the God of the Bible. That God does not look upon adultery, fornication, and homosexual acts with favor, thus the Boy Scouts, being true to their oath, do not look upon such behavior with favor. In addition, they pledge to keep themselves morally straight.<br /><br />Now the leadership of the Boy Scouts of America decided, against the will of the majority of its membership, that a member doesn’t really have a duty to God or to keep morally straight. You say that those who don’t abandon Boy Scout principles look like “fear-mongering bigots.” That is radical leftist brainwash bullshit. Just because someone has moral standards does not make them a bigot. If that were true, it would make the God of the Bible a bigot.<br /><br />The new policy is not going to strengthen the Boy Scouts, but will weaken the organization. The gheys could care less about that. The policy is anti-God and anti-Christian, and part of the radical leftist ghey agenda to diminish and criminalize Christian doctrine by condemning those portions of it that conflict with ghey rhetoric as “hate speech,” subject to fines and jail time.<br /><br /> About 70% of scout troops are church supported. Much of that support will vanish and is vanishing now. There will be a new scouting organization emerge, one that will adhere to the former principles and be immune to antagonistic forces.<br />Bizzy Brainnoreply@blogger.com
