It's unlikely that such a bank exists,

That's my point. So how have they made a difference if they moved from one bank that supports something they dislike to another bank that supports the same issues or organizatinos.

FOTF has likely moved away from Wells Fargo (and likely for other reasons than the "official explanation" such as lower fees or some other cost concession or service factor), yet found a way to make some news by using the support of gay issues/agenda was the reason.

There's so much speculation in here that it's impossible to see.

Here's some more information about the First National Bank of Omaha that I retrieved off of our intranet (I'm a FOTF employee):

"Outsourcing certain functions makes sense for FOF, as addressed in the previous the FOF Outsourcing Philosophy. The basic reasons are to provide the best possible service to Focus constituents, while honoring our stewardship responsibilities. Two of the vendors who can handle our business transactions at a significant cost savings are Patni and First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO).

...

"First National Bank of Omaha has been a banking partner with FOF for over 10 years. We decided to outsource to FNBO since they could more efficiently integrate simple transaction processing, imaging, and coding into our existing banking system. In the process, we were also able to eliminate the problem of a production bottleneck and avoid additional captial expenditures for equipment. Although this shift of production eliminated jobs within the FOF Colorado Springs operation, customer service was improved, costs were reduced, and FOF staff were able to maintain their focus on the ministry needs of our constituents."

I wound up leaving Wells Fargo in 2002 due to service lapses. Repeated failures to update address records after a move was the specific problem. Yes, I knew of WF's pro-gay inclinations at the time, and based on my experience as a customer with other corporations, when corporations get sidetracked with appeasing leftist pressure groups, service suffers. Maybe it wakes up, more often it doesn't, and crashes. Same is happening with Washington Mutual (which acquired Bank United in 2000, a bank known for excellent service), same happened with AT&T (not referring to the entity currently called AT&T, which is really an enlarged Southwestern Bell that devoured the original AT&T).

FOF moved to First National Bank of Omaha. Since you question FOF's motives about their move, I suggest that you dig up dirt on their new bank and then post it to FR. Dobson said that First National Bank of Omaha has been directed by 5 generations of Christians. Go check them out to see if they are like all of the other big banks and give out money to pro-gay groups. You have made your accusations. Now back them up.
