Eagle1993 2160 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Interesting ... he defends the IVF. He said there is a really good argument about having these files and using them to protect kids. However, there are some issues and there should be disclosure & more done. He said that many volunteers & professionals pushed him for changes. He came out due to the upcoming disclosure & the fact he didn't sign a NDA. Said he is fed-up with the organization on what he is allowed to say. He said he didn't spend 40 years of his life to protect kids to have anyone tell him what he can and cannot say. He called Jeff Anderson as he is not afraid of the BSA. Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle94-A1 2685 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Is this being recorded for those of us at work and cannot watch? And if you can provide a link, I'd appreciate it. Not that I do not trust the commentary you folks provide, but I'd rather hear it from the horse's mouth. Plus add my own. One thing I am getting from the commentary is utter disbelief.

I haven’t felt this validated in a long time. Maybe only when I allow myself to acknowledge that my wife and kids continue to love, trust, respect and welcome me. Yikes. Didn’t anticipate his combined passion, tears/vulnerability and tenacity. I cried a couple of times. Quite sure there was more than just you and me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Some of you must be really good with knot tying, and even better with splicing with the way you twist things to make yourselves seem the only ones with valid views. And yes, while this is regarding BSA, the issues extend beyond them, and if that is not important to you as well, then you need to step back and reexamine. Your inuendo and often insulting responses is juvenile and very narrow, as well as hints at actual vengence. Please do not embarrass yourselves further. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Why must this deviate to the broader population to dilute and distract from the focus? That’s why we’re here, right? That specific poster has a history of doing exactly that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

CynicalScouter 1434 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) AP starting to run the story, expect it in the next hour on the wires https://newsadvance.com/news/state/wire/greater-mid-atlantic-news-digest-1-30-p-m/article_38b3353b-4dcd-5c7f-8290-4f0aa8e3c502.html Quote BOY SCOUTS-YOUTH PROTECTION DOVER, Del. — The former youth protection director for the Boy Scouts of America says the organization has not done enough to protect children from pedophiles and from being sexually abused by fellow Boy Scouts. Mike Johnson is urging Congress to investigate the cover-up of decades of past abuse and the dangers that he says the BSA still poses to children. Johnson's appearance at the National Press Club on Tuesday comes as ballots are being sent to tens of thousands of sexual abuse claimants to vote on whether to approve the BSA's bankruptcy reorganization plan.
