Silver lining of the recession: Focus on the Family is broke
by:  AFY_Joe

These are hard economic times. Jobs are scarce, health insurance rates are skyrocketing, and many companies and organizations are hemorrhaging money.

Fortunately, one of those organizations is Focus on the Family.

Here's a letter I received in the mail this weekend:


"Right now we're facing a serious budget shortfall that threatens our ability to reach out to parents, families and married couples who count on our help. Income is down nearly $6 million from what we expected and planned for this year."
Gee, I guess when folks are in rough economic times, they aren't as easily swayed by calls for money from an organization warning about the "evils" of homosexuality and reproductive freedom?

Fortunately, it would appear so...

Reaching out with "the life-transforming gostel of Jesus Christ?  What a joke.  This organization should be classified as a hate group.

well, this is kinda good news.  And yes, they should be classified as a hate group.

I do beleive that the Southern Poverty Law Center does classify Focus on the Family as a hate group.  If not, they are being very closely monitored.

In fact, John McAfee, whose software company produces McAfee Antivirus, has lost 96% of his fortune, going from a net worth of $100 million to $4 million. He still won't ever need cash advance loans.  He had built up the company, and sold it for stock in the late 80s, heavily investing in real estate through Lehman Brothers, who aggressively dropped the ball, costing him the bulk of his fortune, and forced the sale of a lot of his assets. -  John McAfee
