As part of your argument that FOTF was doing this just for the publicity you used an absolute standard, which is the tool of those who know they don't have a leg to stand on otherwise.
You used the standard that the new institution must not have ANY connections to those things that FOTF is opposed to, homsexuality, abortion, etc. I think I'm on safe grounds when I say that no such institution exists anywhere on this side of the after-life. However, I'm confident that the new institution they went with is reasonably close to meeting that standard.
Most of us know that, and accept that fact that in going about our daily business we need to interact with those who have different standards than we do, sometimes opposing standards.
Your posts thus far on this subject have indicated an all or nothing approach.
Now from Theo's reply in #42, he notes from being a Focus on the Family 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 think I was the one who said cost savings in some shape or form was really the reason behind this. There was no mention in the press release of the cost savings or the jobs lost.
