FOTF is indeed mindful of how they spend money. They want to be good stewards of the money contributed by their constituents. One of the things FOTF considers when evaluating financial institutions is indeed how they might be able to help save the organization money, thus carrying out its mission of serving families more effectively and efficiently. This is true.

But again, the stated reason for leaving Wells Fargo is the true reason. Your cynicism is unjustified.

You asked, "Bottom line, if I haven't told you the whole truth, have I really told you the truth?" The answer is that it depends. I know what the budget is for Focus on the Family. But I'm not going to tell you what it is. While I haven't told you "the whole truth" about FOTF's financial arrangements, I have "told you the truth."

Again, just because an organization is Christian doesn't mean that it is innately deceptive about its finances and about the way it runs business. There really is no "rest of the story" to "expose."

I'm frankly not impressed by your distrusting FOTF and your mission to be the investigative journalist....

I have no desire to be an investigative journalist and I do know that even good organizations such as Focus can and do posture and spin.

Are you saying that the driving factor initially was to deny business to Wells Fargo and in the process they found an organization to do the work for less money, less needed staff, more effeciaten a clear and over time large cost savings and sans the support of an unpleasant agenda?

Or vice versa
