"What they're going to do is promote homosexual men to mentoring and camping with your boys in the woods, and it will lead to child abuse," Klingenschmitt said. "The children are in danger."

Quoting a scripture, Klingenschmitt said, "Whoever causes one of those little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea."

He went on to say, "This is what Jesus said about child molesters. If you're going to cause a child to sin, it'd be better if you just had a millstone hung around you neck and you were drowned..."

The BSA, like the RCC and other organizations already has a robust history of the adults abusing kids. That would be those "Heterosexual" adults.

Tool!

Which in turn causes parents to sin (hate) which probably leads to the kids. one of the bright side effects of being in a split household. is seeing both sides. and neither is all that good. problem is for sure the Right side doesn't know they are being led astray (faux)
