It sounded like they at considering allowing individual counsels to lift the ban. Would that cause the church to bail?Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostComment

Yes, but let's just get on with it already. I'm sick to death of having to give lip service to both while semi-neglecting both at the same time (there truly isn't enough time in YM to dedicate to doing both properly, IMO).Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment

Oh God please!Originally posted by smokymountainrain View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

It really is a problem. Mormons were already half-a$$ed Scouters anyway, and the new emphasis on DTG only made that worse. (I am not being critical about this, just stating a well-known fact. I wish we would just do one or the other well, or do them in some reasonable proportion.)Originally posted by Indy Coug View Post“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

Maybe my son will get to do scouting after all. If they get rid of their lame gay ban, then he could do it. Of course, that might have the church drop it, just so that we could have more inanity to deal with.Comment

I wonder why it is an issue for Mo scouts at all? What percentage of Mo scout troops/varsity units are headed by someone in the ward that is called by the Bishop? In other words, no OUT gay man will be heading up a Mo troop anytime soon.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.
