Yes, exactly. I likewise have similar deeply held personal choices. I don't call upon others to participate. I have neither the moral authority to think ill of those who don't, nor is it a moral imperative that I join others in their like personal decisions.

I'm done with them. This is sort of a last straw.
Besides I can stand to save the money...and waist expansion.

I love ice cream, especially Haagen Dazs or Ben & Jerry's, although both are very expensive. I usually buy Kroger Select since it is good (every bit as good as Blue Bell, IMO) and inexpensive. I don't participate in boycotts very often, so it will have no bearing on my ice cream purchases.
Now as far as beer is concerned, nothing beats a good Michelob!

I love Ben & Jerry's and will continue to eat it as much as I currently do, which is very rarely, due to the cost. I love Blue Bell, but it isn't distributed to stores in Colorado. :tear: Blue Bunny is pretty good, as is Safeway Select. One thing about Blue Bell is that it is still a full half gallon.
I don't usually boycott, but the one thing I won't buy is a Mitsubishi product, since they built the Zero planes that bombed Pearl Harbor.
This thread reminded me to buy some Ben & Jerry's today at Wal-Mart. It's good stuff.
Seriously? What if they had Hooker Hash? How about Pornography Pistachio? Murder M&M Sunday?? If they promoted any other sin, would you support it?

1) What are you talking about? I have never seen any such ice cream flavors at Wal-Mart in the Ben & Jerry's section of the freezer.
2) As has already been pointed out Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream is no longer owned by Ben and Jerry. It is now owned by Unilever. So whatever might be those two men's political views I don't see how that has any relevance now.
What has relevance is the fact that they are celebrating sin in an ice cream flavor. I didn't like Ben & Jerry before but the company continues to support the same issues they did before so I feel the same way about them as I did before.

Since I am trusting in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ's substitutionary life and death on my behalf and the grace of God I have no worries in that area. I hope that you and my fellow Christians don't either. Worry is not something that God wants us to have in our lives.

Again, I have never, ever seen such ice cream flavors and if I did I would not buy such ice cream flavors.
Here is a link to all of their flavors. There are six pages of them. I don't see any flavor like you have mentioned.

Huh? The only flavor I see close to that is called "Chubby Hubby".
Read the op they changed it to Hubby Hubby in honor of g*y marriage
Ahhh - you missed it. It's been renamed Hubby Hubby and it has a picture of a male gay couple on it.
THAT could be the issue here!

Oh, okay, thanks for letting me know, Pastor Mitchell.
1) That is only in Vermont. I don't think selling a carton with that name on it would sell well in Arkansas.
2) I am opposed to the idea of homosexual "marriage". I don't believe there can be such a thing regardless of what a person calls such a relationship. A marriage can only exist in actuality between a man and a woman. I support the separation of marriage and state.
3) If Christians are going to advocate boycotting any company that hires a homosexual or an adulterer or a fornicator or someone who practices any sin that makes us recoil then there wouldn't be very many companies that we could purchase products from - if any at all. I don't see the point in picking out one company and not giving the same treatment to the thousands of other companies.
