Focus on the Family has 'serious' budget shortfall
(AP) – 16 hours ago

DENVER — Conservative Christian group Focus on the Family says it is facing a "serious budget shortfall."

Jim Daly, president and CEO of the Colorado Springs, Colo.-based evangelical ministry, explains in a letter to approximately 800,000 donors that projected income for the year is $6 million short of expectations.

The organization's fiscal year budget is $138 million.

Focus on the Family also says it will no longer stage "Love Won Out" conferences, which promise to "help men and women dissatisfied with living homosexually understand that same-sex attractions can be overcome."

The events will go on, instead staged by Orlando, Fla.-based Exodus International

2. Didn't Dobson jump ship before this happened?
If I were a journalist I would want to see those books, and then see "Dr" Dobson's accounts :evilgrin:

3. Opposite sex attractions are overcome all the time Jimbo
Christians get divorced everyday while bleating on about the sanctity of marriage and how horrible gays are.

We are "short of expectations" so just right a fucking check and drop it in the mail "Expectations?" For what? Jimbo's vacations?

4. I wonder how many poor people could get healthcare with that much money?
Dobson should shut down most of his organization and build a health clinic for uninsured families, or disperse it to food banks.

5. They needed an average of $172.50 per donor to meet their budget.
I wonder if they had ever advocated fiscal conservatism for the government.

7. Dobson needs to invoke the threat of God's Death Panel to raise money, like Oral Roberts did.
Or, again like Oral Roberts, Dobson could raise a few donors from the dead and sell healing water to be used on his followers' wallets.
