It's a shame the Boy Scouts didn't take this topic serious for 1 hundred plus years.

Could you tell me what PBGC means please sir?

No sir.I didn't ask and he didn't tell.Sorry

I just got off the phone with my lawyer and he said he caught wind that the judge will not be making a decision untill the end of June.

Get on his Twitter there are a bunch of his comments talking about it.From the start he has been pushing to shut the whole outfit down.He wants his name in history books.To me he is a showboat.At the begining he talks how he came out of retirement on his yacht in Puerto Rico for this case.Im just a electrician but even I can see that was for the money and to try and be the one to shut them down.I would bet my little 10 acres of land to say he ain't giving his clients any discount.He talks way to much trash about every other person involved in this case. Sorry if my statement tics anyone off but I call it like I see it.

Well it has made me aware that I still have some issue's that need to be dealt with.I will be starting more therapy next week.Im glad to the scab has been ripped of to because it has made me aware of what needs to be done.(Therapy)

I'm just ready for this 40 year chapter of my life to be over.The money will be nice but being able to finally shut the door on all of this just so I can finally have some peace of mind far out weighs anything else.Having to open up this can of worms was far worse than I could've ever imagined. Especially having been through therapy,was in inpatient therapy for 6 months.The wound is just as painful today than it was 40 years ago.I guess that will never go away.

Sure,you won't have to worry about your bills or providing.But all the world's gold won't take my nightmares away or give me back the past 40 years.This isn't an argument towards you or anyone else,just my thoughts.✌️

It's good to see we still have humor after what we have endured for so long. Especially after seeing the true colors of the National office.Speaking for myself I guess humor and laughter is what's kept me from going insane.✌️🙏

You a poet and didn't know it. Thank you

If this Judge confirms plan how likely is the district court to confirm it?Al's the upcoming hearing could you explain what it's about.I tried looking it up but I'd have better luck reading Japanese.

It really makes me sad that they thought suicide was the way to go .Then I think about their parents who will never know why their son killed his self.As bad as I was abused rape whatever you want to call im nowhere near the victim the ones that committed suicide are.They are the real victims. And their blood is on the hands of each and everyone that took part in covering this up.It makes me want to go and knock the hell out every single one of them in the ivory tower. Sorry for venting.✌️🙏

Don't you dare try to tell us who's to blame. We know better than anybody where the blame lies. BSA failed us. They didn't do anything to protect us while knowing that this abuse was happening. You can take up for them all you want but it's a lot of us that don't see it your way. Until you have lived 40 years of pure hell and everything that comes with being abused your opinion means nothing to me. The bottom line is for over 100 years BSA covered this up so the BSA name wouldn't be tainted. That in it's self proves that they could care less about us victims and only care about money. Don't think you can push us in a corner because of the way we feel about this organization. You must be kin to Joe Biden because he has a hard time owning the mess he created like You have a hard time accepting that THE BSA FAILED AND FAILED BAD. TRUTH HURTS.AND TRUTH IS THEY FAILED US

Took me 36 years to finally tell my folks.

I want to apologize for me cussing in my comment last week.I let my anger take control of my response.Please accept my apology.I don't want Scouts to shutdown.Even though I was abused I've seen a lot of good in the Scouts.My scoutmaster God rest his soul was by far the greatest scoutmaster a kid could ask for.I learned a lot from him.I guess my anger flared up when someone said how we want to only talk about the bad well we do.Most victims have been carrying this heavy load for a very long time by ourselves. And speaking for only me, Im 50 years old and I'm finally strong enough to share my story.We finally have a voice In the comment it felt like victims was being pushed to the side.The comment was like well we know people were hurt but why is their nothing in the documentary that is about the abuse,why aren't they talking of the good.That was a punch in the gut.Made me feel that my abuse means nothing to others that had a great scouting experience.It feels like we (victims)are the misfit toys from Rudolph the red nose raindeer.So for all that wasn't abused in their scouting experience try to put yourselves in our shoes.What we have been dealing with for 30,40,or 50 years.And it's just as painful today as it was when it was happening years ago.Today I won't be silenced.I won't say scouting as a whole is no good because I would be telling a lie.I will say that I don't feel that they have done everything possible to fix the problem.When they finally decided to act on it was only after the fire reached their back door.Juries we're giving big awards to victims.Will do all they can do to address this ,will it stop sex abuse? Probably not,but just knowing that they are doing everything in their power to prevent sex abuse would've gave me some peace just by knowing they were trying to protect the youth.But they didn't,So yes I have right much anger in my towards the big wheels, especially after me researching at the start of the bankruptcy that this has been going on for well over 100 years.I wasn't going to file a claim because I didn't won't any part of the process and that was going to be coming with it.But after reading about how long they hid it was the game changer for me.It speaks volumes to me about the way they handled this.Again I apologize for the language and just try to see through the victims eyes and why we have a problem with the way they have conducted business for the last hundred years.✌️

You know if scouts had not done something their wouldn't be 82 thousands claims. You paint scouts how ever you want. To me I say ... I hope they get shut down. Aint no need for you to respond cause I'm done talking with the likes of you.

You know man don't blame this ..stuff on the producers or anyone else. THE FACT IS BOY SCOUTS COVERED THIS UP FOR OVER 100 YEARS FOR THEIR OWN GREED.SINCE THIS BANKRUPTCY STARTED ITS BEEN VERY LITTLE MEDIA COVERAGE ABOUT THIS.YOU SAY THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT THE GOOD OF THE SCOUTS JUST BAD.THIS IS ABOUT US VICTIMS WHO WERE RAPED, HAD OUR LIFE RIPPED FROM US AT A VERY YOUNG AGE. YOU DAMN RIGHT THIS FILM IS ABOUT THE MOST HORRIFIC THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN TO A KID SO YOU AND NOBODY ELSE CAN TELL ME SCOUTS ARE GOOD.I HAVE 40 YEARS OF PURE HELL TO SAY AINT ONE DAMN THING GOOD ABOUT THE BOY SCOUTS.THEY CHOSE NOT TO PROTECT BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE WORRIED ABOUT A DOLLAR. WE DIDNT ASK FOR THIS .AND I HOPE THIS GETS PLENTY OF RECOGNITION. YOUR BASICALLY SAYING TO SWEEP IT UNDER THE RUG WHEN YOU SAID THE PRODUCERS DIDNT INCLUDE THE GOOD.WHATS GOOD ABOUT THE SCOUTS COVERING THIS UP FOR 100 YEARS?THEY PREACH THE SCOUT LAWS BUT AT THE SAME TIME NOT FOLLOWING THE VERY THING THEY PREACH TO US. AINT NO HONOR,TRUTH,TRUSTWORTHY. YOU SHOW THE HONOR IN WHAT THEY DID TO US SURVIVORS.

Thank you very much for explaining that.Have a wonderful Easter.

What do you mean by followed by district?
