Co-ed  is simply catering to the militant LGBT movement.

But of course, men and women cannot be trusted to wash their hands in the same sink!!

I don't care to support their sales and I've tasted better cookies.

Matthew 24:37
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

 

I am pretty sure even in the days of Noah they were not so far gone as to have men and women washing their hands in the same bucket.

we are doomed!!

As is your right to do.  I was just trying to point out the subjective nature of such things.  

Personally I feel such actions are counter productive as it makes the one boycotting look inconsistent because of whom they don't choose to boycott

who is going to know (locally i mean ) if a persone boycotts a couple places

....Pearls to swine comes to mind as well as

2Peter3:3 "First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires."

Jude 1:18 "How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts."
 

There have been mockers for all of the history of mankind, they are not special to the end days. 

I have been working in hospitals for a long time, we have never had separate scrub sinks for the men and the women...oh the inhumanity of it all.

You are a real gem, tell us what is your Christian testimony?

Thanks, I like to think so!  

I have been a Christian for 2/3 of my life.  Growing up my family went to a traditional Southern Baptist church and that was my background. 

Over the last half decade I have had the privilege to be a part of a half a dozen medical mission trips, all but one to Africa.  These were eye opening experiences for me.  We as Americans tend to view our Christianity through the prism of our country.  The things we view as "right and wrong" are based upon our culture and thus we have a very limited view.  My travels have left me as what I would describe as a "nontraditional" Christian.  Things that bother other people do not bother me for the most part.  The very first village I went to almost half of the of the women wore tops, the men and the women wore things that looked like skirts to me.  I was shocked and said to the team lead "this is wrong, we need to make them cover up before we treat them".  He laughed at me and told me that the problem is not them, it was my one dimensional thinking. 

These trips have altered my life unlike anything else I have done

Good post. Different cultures differ in views. What is considered normal in one culture, is a violation of cultural etiquette in another. Missions helps to realize what is truly important and what is cultural.

The point isnt if its a christian organization or not.  The point is that by funding them you help to further drift our society from one nation under God.  Not only is it against christian morals to fund this but its also unpatriotic. 

I am no longer going to respond to you on this topic because it seems like to me you are defending their actions and policies because "they aren't a christian organization"  This is no different than promoting these policies yourself.

I will say one last thing.  pick a side.  He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
 

If you want to boycott the Girl Scouts, that is your choice.

I am just saying that the Girl Scouts is not a Christian organizaton so judging them for not glorifying God is not a valid objection.  I have also said that the Girl Scouts has always been liberal as it appears some are surprised by their stance on the transgender issue and choosing to object about that issue alone. That issue is just a long string of liberal views of the Girl Scouts. I always thought that most Christians did not have their children belong to the Girl Scouts.  

I am rather disgusted that you think a person who does not boycott the Girl Scouts is a litmus test for someone who is against God.

So you don't think that perhaps their mode of 'dress' is a sign of a lack of something ; that is that the terrible  conditions of existence are related to their primitive beliefs in pagan gods , superstition,and their way of dressing is part of this lowly state of life ?

 It is not your one dimensional thinking ,but that your co workers are clearly not aware of how we dress indicates our level of civilisation ,and that all higher cultures dress with a certain modesty . Even where it is unbearably hot in Pakistan ,India and so on ,in public no woman would expose herself to strange men .It is one of the major reasons for why Africa is the lowest on the human scale of civilisation , and where Aids and other diseases are through the roof . 

You co workers are evidently not spiritually inclined , as they would know this . Hindus ,moslems ,sikhs ,christians and so on know this ,but not the modern progressist   ,so called . 

I will add, that the west is on it's way to more 'primitive 'times, as immodesty is the thing these  days .

Nope, it never occurred to be to try and push my skewed version of modesty on other people, I will leave that to folks like you.   I have little doubt I would be welcome at your church if I were to show up in shorts and sandals and a t-shirt.  Goodness knows I have found a majority of churches that think like you. 

What I came to understand, which you are totally missing, is that these people are not immodest, they just view life differntly than you or I.  There way is not wrong, just different.  Adam and Eve in their simplest form could view each other naked and not feel shame, these folks are the same way.  

We have sexualized the female chest, for no valid reason as its purpose is not sexual in nature.
