6 months in jail for a traffic violation? Sound like appeal time to me. And yes I would just stop going. Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all!

Merlyn, No I wouldn't sue. I would just stop going. Ed

NW, Would I sue? No I wouldn't. I would go back to the state & tell them that what the instructors were requiring had nothing to do with my reason for being there and hope the state would have the unnecessary requirements removed. Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all!

The government is not "establishing" a religion by placing a crche or menorah on their front steps! They are displaying symbols of the season. And let's remember that Jesus is the reason for Christmas! I'm sure all those atheists & other non-Christian religions take Christmas & other religious holidays off! Sort of hypocritical, huh? Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all!

Terry, Hops & OGE do a great job! So I always agree with them? No. But they are doing what they think is best for the board. Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all!

Consider it done!

It's a great magazine! I still read it! What about the recognition & Quality Unit? No Boy's Life????? It's a sad world! Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all!

Once again the ACLU stomps all over the right of religious freedom! Now that's the American way

While I support the BSA training I feel there is too much training. Too many classes to attend at too many different times! Why cant it be consolidated into basic course for Cub Scout and Boy Scouts with breakout sessions for each position? Have breakout sessions for Committee Members, one for Assistant SMs, one for SMs, etc.. That way, ALL the training could be completed in a day or two instead of having to attend three or more training sessions! Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all!

cfs4539, I think Merlyn does lose sleep over this. He is so misguided & hateful of the BSA it seems he will stop at nothing to destroy them! It is sad. I have continued to pray for him. I would suggest we all do the same. Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4;10 A blessed Christmas to all!(This message has been edited by evmori)

I would agree with eagle-pete. The BSA method is unique. And as Eamonn posted, the quality of the training depends on the trainer. This is true in any teacher/student, trainer/trainee situation. The program might be identical, but how it is presented can be completely different. And while training is a must, practical experience & common sense are also very important.

Fuzzy, Thanks for that. It brought back memories of grade school learning that song in Latin. A blessed Christmas to all! Ed

Merlyn, You are treading on my 1st Amendment right to religious expression and freedom of speech by your antics! But I guess that's OK because you have the ACLU on your side. Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all!

Joy to the world The Lord is come Let earth receive her King Let every heart Prepare Him room And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing And heaven and heaven and nature sing A blessed Christmas to all! Ed

Don't pitch your tents on the White House lawn

The ACLU have integrity! When pigs fly!

Sorry, packsaddle. I'd rather eat nails than join the ACLU. Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all!

Christmas present suggestion for this CM - Presents him with a paid receipt for the training classes he needs to take! Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all!

Is torture of these prisoner's wrong? Yes. But why is the ACLU involved at all? Are they defending Americans? No. If Kerry won the election would the ACLU be involved? Don't think so. I feel the only reason the ACLU is involved is politics. Nothing more and nothing less. Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all!

Sorry, guys, for posting a "Merlyn" (inaccurate information). Actually, after I posted that I looked it up but by the time I got back it was too late to edit it. Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all!

Merlyn, The BSA doesn't teach that atheists can't be the best kind of citizens! That is nothing more than your opinion which you are trying to pose as fact. And as far as discriminating, the Supreme Court ruled the BSA is a private organization that can set it's membership guidelines. And belief in God is a membership requirement. Who cares what you think of the BSA! You just keep compiling your inaccurate lists. That's what you're good at! Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all!

Sorry Merlyn. You are correct. You do state there are private schools in you list. But why are the in the list at all? The only reason I can think is so you can inflate the numbers of "illegally" chartered BSA units to make your case stronger! Well, by doing so you are only making your case weaker because the accuracy of your list is suspect! That flushing noise you hear is Merlyn's credibility going down the drain! Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all!

Makes no difference where you got the info from, Merlyn. By stating all the schools on the list are public schools you are misrepresenting the statistics therefore making the entire list suspect! And along with that, your credibility has become suspect! There is no excuse for including private schools in the list! If it was up to me & I was an administrator at a private school on the list I would pitch a fit to have a full investigation launched at the ACLU expense!

Do I miss Bob? Not sure I know how to answer that. Still not sure how to answer that! Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 A blessed Christmas to all! (This message has been edited by a staff member.)
