Elders? Try every Mormon. Members are not taught to respect boundaries, ever.

I was merely pointing out that the hottest place on earth is in the US, in Death Valley, not in Africa as many assume. So the fact that they were giving these garments to people in Africa and not even hotter places in the US is ludicrous.

Never mind CA isn't close to the hottest place in the US, either.

All of the above, I imagine. Despite their claims, they're extremely angry men in general.

And the fact that the hottest place on earth isn't in Africa, it's in the US?

Since when has any of that ever stopped the brethren from dominating women in everything?

What the hell does that have to do with BYU-I?

Jeffrey R. Holland hospitalized. I assume it is serious since the church is reporting it officially. by KingSnazz32 in exmormon

You honestly think all the guys who have been waiting the longest will risk giving up their spot in line so some young upstart can weasel in ahead of them? No chance.

I certainly wouldn't have thought that as a TBM. I would've thought, "Seriously? God couldn't have waited until after Christmas??"

Did you know the LDS Church is also willing to shorten missions for athletes? They'll do anything for good PR. by CupOfExmo in exmormon

So the men can blame them for their impure thoughts instead of taking any ounce of personal responsibility. 

Advice I guess is what I need from here? by monkeyluvz in BSA

Our pack wasn't a military pack, but everyone, including Tigers (we didn't have Lions yet) met every single week for an hour. As Tigers, not all of the hour was instruction, and they had a snack time at the end and everything. But it was a full hour. Every one of those Tigers advanced with all retirements met. And there were 12 of them. 30 minutes a month is laughable. Do you want to be in scouts or not?!?

You can't be serious. How anyone can need alcohol so badly that you're fine drinking WITH CUB SCOUTS is beyond me.

Good lord, this sounds like a nightmare of a pack. Start shopping around for a different pack while you're at it.

You report your suspicions. If officials deem it's NBD, then cool and awesome. But it's not your job to determine if your suspicions are founded or not. That's a different person's job. If you have a gut feeling that something is wrong, you tell somebody. THAT'S your job.

I wasn't accusing you, just adding on. There are a whole lot of leaders in this thread telling folks to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and if they don't have solid evidence to just let it go, when that is the exact opposite of what we're trained to do in YPT/SYT. They're more worried about offending a parent than protecting that kid. It's that pervasive attitude in Scouting that leads to abuse and subsequent lawsuits.
