Here we go again, I think. When I checked the form for National Rendezvous,
it said that all american attendees must be male. Thus, foreign attendees
may be male or female. How many of you have seen girls from other countries
in Springfield at the Camporamas and such? The issue is not whether the
facilities are availble, possible, or even wanted. Women and girls have
attended these functions. It is historical fact.
To all those in the National Office who read these posts, it is time to
take your stand and stand by it. Either women are allowed in the program
or not. Enough with sitting on the fence and saying that foreign women
may attend, but American women may not. This distinction only serves
to make us look foolish. If you want a quality program, fine, but
enough fence sitting. Make you decision and defend it. I'm tired of
wasting time in debate. People are going to hell, not because they are
male or female, but because they don't know Christ. In Leviticus God
makes a big deal about "one rule for the Israelite and for the foreigner".
So should it be with us. Pick your rule and stand by it.
