Re: Calling All Boy Scouts (and Scout Leaders) Andy Sun Feb 6 16:40:21 2000 i was just "walking through" and i noticed your letter. i am a 19 year old college student in ms. i was an eagle scout, myself and i have to say that i had a pretty crappy time in scouts..especially being in the bible belt. not because of what they offered. the badges and camps really got me in tuned with nature and myself, but the people in charge were just annoying. i was lucky to have my troop sponsored by the lion's club, although all the leaders were prominent "christians," or so they called themselves. some even masons and eastern stars.*p*after coming across this online : *p*-----------------------------------------*br*"Texas Governor George W. Bush on Good *br*Morning America June 23, 1999 made the *br*following statement: *p*'...I don't think witchcraft is a religion. I would hope the military officals would take a second look at the *br*decision they made.' *p*This statement was made in response to *br*the military allowing wiccian celebrations *br*to be held on a military base, held by *br*military personnel, with the provision that they not be skyclad. Agreed to. A fanatical christian minister, who advocated his followers carry guns to church as he did. To keep the witches from stealing the children. Was the cause of the attention *br*to the Wiccian ceremonies. *p*In addition to his personal beliefs about *br*witchcraft. Mr Bush further stated that he *br*would see Wicca removed from the list of *br*recoginized churchs if he were elected *br*president. "*br*------------*br*i'm not sorry to say that i am no longer in boyscouts and have no affiliation with them anymore, i do wish i had some names to reccommend to you. there won't be anyone where i came from. i do think it would be wonderful knowing georgie boy HAD to pin that on you, knowing you are what he is against. (oh no! <g>) i think it would be absolutely hilarious. and hopefully he won't be the republican of choice for presidential runnings...the bastard.*p**br* Re: Calling All Boy Scouts (and Scout Leaders) Jenny 242 Fri Feb 4 13:54:27 2000
