California Senate Votes To Revoke Boy Scouts’ Exempt Status


The state Senate in California is targeting the tax-exempt status of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) with a bill that ensures equity for all after the organization voted to continue its ban on gay scout leaders while allowing gay youth to join.

SB 323, the Youth Equality Act, was introduced by Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) because of BSA’s refusal to accept gay adults as leaders conflicts with California’s anti-discriminatory laws. He believes that the organization is “out of line with the values of Californians.” “SB 323 brings our laws into line with our values,” he said when introducing the bill Wednesday, which passed by a 27-9 vote. It now moves on to the state Assembly.

The bill does not specifically mention BSA, stating instead that the law would apply to all “nonprofit youth organizations that receive special state tax privileges.” That would specifically single out the Irving, Texas-based organization, which still does not allow gay adults to become leaders despite last week’s rule change allowing gay youth. A call to BSA for comment on the measure was not immediately returned. After last week’s 61-38 vote, BSA issued a statement reaffirming that “Scouting is a youth program, and any sexual conduct, whether heterosexual or homosexual, by youth of Scouting age is contrary to the virtues of Scouting. A change to the current membership policy for adult leaders was not under consideration; thus, the policy for adults remains in place.”

Lara said, “While it is a step in the right direction, continuing a ban on adults is based on absurd assumptions and stereotypes that perpetuate hate and homophobia. What does this mean, that up until 17 you’re fine to be in the Boy Scouts but on midnight of your 18th birthday you turn into a pedophile or a predator? What kind of warped message does this send?,” Lara asked rhetorically. He is the first openly gay man of color to be elected to the California Senate James Dale, a former Eagle Scout who was expelled for being gay and whose landmark 2000 U.S. Supreme Court case bought national attention to BSA’s policy on gay members, agreed with this line of thinking. He said that BSA’s rule change still encourages discrimination among non-gay kids and tells gay kids “if you are honest about who you are you will be thrown out.”

As SB 323 would change California’s tax code, it needed two-thirds support to pass. Three senators did not participate in the vote: Democrat Rod Wright and Republicans Anthony Cannella and Bill Emmerson.

See what they did... a Huge mistake. The Word of God says give no place to the devil and they BSA cowardly did just that.

Now that they have sold out to satan, they've given up their power and existence. The devil now 'owns' them.

Baptists plan exodus from Boy Scouts

By Daniel Burke, CNN Belief Blog Co-Editor

(CNN) – For Southern Baptist pastor Tim Reed, it was Scripture versus the Scouts.

“God’s word explicitly says homosexuality is a choice, a sin,” said Reed, pastor of First Baptist Church of Gravel Ridge in Jacksonville, Arkansas.
So when the Boy Scouts of America voted to lift its ban on openly gay youths on May 24, Reed said the church had no choice but to cut its charter with Troop 542. “It’s not a hate thing here,” Reed told CNN affiliate Fox 16. “It’s a moral stance we must take as a Southern Baptist church.”

Southern Baptist leaders say Reed is not alone.

Baptist churches sponsor nearly 4,000 Scout units representing more than 100,000 youths, according to the Boy Scouts of America.
That number could drop precipitously. The Southern Baptist Convention, the country’s largest Protestant denomination, will soon urge its 45,000 congregations and 16 million members to cut ties with the Scouts, according to church leaders.

The denomination will vote on nonbinding but influential resolutions during a convention June 11-12 in Houston. “There’s a 100% chance that there will be a resolution about disaffiliation at the convention,” said Richard Land, the longtime head of the Southern Baptists’ Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, “and a 100% chance that 99% of people will vote for it.” “Southern Baptists are going to be leaving the Boy Scouts en masse,” Land continued. Roger “Sing” Oldham, a spokesman for the Southern Baptist Convention, emphasized that local congregations make their own decision on the Scouts. But he, too, said he expects Baptist delegates, which the church calls “messengers,” to voice their disagreement with the BSA's decision to allow gay youths.

“With this policy change, the Boy Scouts’ values are contradictory to the basic values of our local churches,” Oldham said. Several religious groups with strong Scouting ties support the new policy. “We have heard from both those who support the amended policy and those who would have preferred it would not have changed,” said BSA spokesman Deron Smith.

Faith-based organizations charter more than 70% of Scout chapters, providing meeting space and leadership, according to the BSA.
“There have been some organizations that have decided not to renew their charters with Scouting," said Smith, "but we can’t quantify the impact of the amended policy." The National Jewish Committee on Scouting, the United Church of Christ, the Episcopal Church, the Unitarian Universalist Association and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which sponsors more Scout units than any other faith, all endorsed the change. The National Catholic Committee on Scouting, which is run with oversight from a bishop, said Thursday that allowing gay youths in the Scouts does not conflict with church teaching. Each bishop will decide whether or not to allow churches in his diocese to charter Scout units, the committee added.
“We ask that Catholic Scouters and chartered organization heads not rush to judgment,” said Edward Martin, chairman of the National Catholic Committee on Scouting.

But the Rev. Derek Lappe, pastor of the Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church in Bremerton, Washington, has already made up his mind.
“I do not feel that it is possible for us to live out, and to teach, the authentic truth about human sexuality within the confines of the Boy Scout’s new policy,” said Lappe. The priest told CNN affiliate FOX16 that his parish will part ways with the Scouts and develop its own programs.

There may soon be an alternative to the Scouts for social conservatives like Lappe. John Stemberger, founder of On My Honor, a group that opposed the Scouts’ change in policy, plans to convene conservatives in Louisville, Kentucky, in June to consider forming a new Scout-like group, which could be up and running by the end of 2013. “Churches and Scoutmasters are looking for leadership and direction,” said Stemberg, an attorney in Orlando, Florida.

A number of conservative religious denominations already sponsor their own groups. For instance, the Southern Baptists have the Royal Ambassadors, an explicitly Christian program founded in 1908 for boys in first through sixth grade. (A similar group called Challengers equips older boys in “mission education.”) The name comes from the New Testament, in which the Apostle Paul tells Christians to be “ambassadors for Christ.”
The estimated 31,000 Royal Ambassadors pledge “to become a well-informed, responsible follower of Christ; to have a Christlike concern for all people; to learn how to carry the message of Christ around the world; to work with others in sharing Christ; and to keep myself clean and healthy in mind and body." While not as outdoorsy as the Boy Scouts, Ambassadors do camp and play sports, said Land, who was a member of the group during the 1950s. But instead of merit badges for archery and bird study, young Ambassadors earn patches for memorizing Bible verses and mission work.

Southern Baptists said they are preparing for a surge of interest in the Royal Ambassadors at their upcoming convention in Houston. “We really have an opportunity here to strengthen our RA programs,” the Rev. Ernest Easley, chairman of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee, said in a sermon last Sunday, “and to get the boys in a program where they’re going to be protected, where there’s a high moral standard and where they will have an opportunity to learn about camping, missions, evangelism in the local church.”

I wish I could tell you that it didn't happen, but it did......:nono::nono::nono:. They even give a recipe.:ohwell:

http://www.nydailynews.com/life-sty...age-rainbow-communion-bread-article-1.1347952

One word: Blasphemy

According to Merriam - Webster dictionary the word "blasphemy" means "the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God; the act of claiming the attributes of deity; irreverence toward something considered sacred."

"Truly I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies with which soever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost has never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation." Mark 3: 28-29

Sis, "We" (You, Me, and many, many others), We called it. We said that there would be a mass exodus from the Boy Scouts. Those who voted to end the gay ban may have sold themselves out, BUT they did not sell 'Us' out. The devil does not own our souls. Jesus does... it is HE, Jesus who died and paid the price for our souls with HIS shed blood, not the gay activists and their sick agenda.

We will NOT be pushed, We will NOT be bullied into embracing a lifestyle that does not bring glory to God.

16 Million Leaders...31,000 Royal Ambassadors, en mass, letting the gay activists know what they can do with their agenda.

Glory to God for those who fear God and not man.

This article is amazing and so inspiring. Praise God, with all of my heart Praise God.

Now.....this is not only blasphemous, but they are passing hand germs, (bacteria, e-coli, uric acid and nicotine stains -- folks smoke cigarettes) around from one hand to another and then eating it.

:nono::nono::nono:



The hand with the bread has a black tattoo or something on it... :nono: He or she would not be passing anything to me.
