Saints Alive Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 The LDS newsroom just released a statement cautioning members not to speculate about the implications of a BSA policy change. See here: http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/church-cautions-against-speculation-on-scouting-decision
The Nehor Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 In bold defiance of this I will speculate anyways!!!!! I think the Second Coming will hit before they decide. We win.
BCSpace Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I thought it interesting that grammatically, it assumes a change in policy will take place, not that there will be a vote on if there is a change in policy.The recent announcement that BSA planned to make a policy change in its standards for membership and leadership has triggered intense debate from many segments of society.
california boy Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I thought it interesting that grammatically, it assumes a change in policy will take place, not that there will be a vote on if there is a change in policy.It does look hopeful doesn't it.
Scott Lloyd Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I thought it interesting that grammatically, it assumes a change in policy will take place, not that there will be a vote on if there is a change in policy.You're speculating. Stop it.
DavidB Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 You're speculating. Stop it.[Jest]We can speculate, just not on the Church position on the issue.[/jest]After review it appears bcspace is speculating about the Church position on what the rescheduled events would have resulted in.
BCSpace Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 The leadership will be meeting tonight and FoS has been slated to be on the agenda since before the news broke. I guarantee you we will all be speculating.
Saints Alive Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 The leadership will be meeting tonight and FoS has been slated to be on the agenda since before the news broke. I guarantee you we will all be speculating.Who's "the leadership" ? Are you talking about your Ward, Stake?
CV75 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 The LDS newsroom just released a statement cautioning members not to speculate about the implications of a BSA policy change.See here: http://www.mormonnew...outing-decisionAs a Trailblazer, I was informed that we are now to proceed with the FOS campaign in the wards. Regardless of any implications or speculations, as long as we benefit from the council infrastructure (and we certainly do), we need to contribute generously.

Mark Beesley Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 The leadership will be meeting tonight and FoS has been slated to be on the agenda since before the news broke. I guarantee you we will all be speculating.Isn't it doctrine that we shouldn't speculate???
CV75 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I hope you will let us know of any incidents you experience, Im sure everyone and their brother will have an opinion.OK, but I'm such a sweet person, people will be throwing their money at me.

However, I never said I agree with all doctrine. But I would never excuse myself by claiming "It's not doctrine."Here's more speculation for you.1)I'll wager I'll have been the only one (or two) in a room of approximately 50 people to have seen the Newsroom article.2)I'll wager the GA in charge of our district will communicate the same sentiment as the Newsroom article.
Scott Lloyd Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Can non-members speculate?According to the statement they are asked not to. The statement is not just directed to members.
The Nehor Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Can non-members speculate?Only if the Danites do not find out about it.
CA Steve Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Should the standards that apply to leadership positions within the Church be any different for a LDS scout or scout leader?
Calm Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Should the standards that apply to leadership positions within the Church be any different for a LDS scout or scout leader?Since scouting is currently done in conjunction with BSA in the US, then it is appropriate to abide by BSA rules.
CV75 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I hope you will let us know of any incidents you experience, Im sure everyone and their brother will have an opinion.By way of follow up: Two individuals approached me and said they would not contribute until the question was settled. After some brief discussion, one changed his mind, and the other did not, despite clear leadership instruction to stay the course (as far as our attitude toward donating goes).
