If push comes to shove, I guess they could always ask the government for a bail-out. I’m sure that Pres. Elect Obama and Sen. Dodd would be very amicable and sympathetic towards their prospective bankruptcy (yeah, RIGHT!!) Oops, I forgot. They’re not part of the big three (TBN, the 700 Club, and Lakewood Church in Houston.) Guess they’re plum outa luck.

It couldn’t happen to a more deserving pack of …

Gee! I’m totally devastated. ). Guess they’d better start praying.

They should try prayer, eh? Do you think they did? I’d have thought God would have provided.

Actually they are a much needed moral and godly stability the alternative will prove to be much more devastating to this country. There is a great goodness to Focus that is not likely to be generated from any liberal sources.

nnmns I guess this is one of those opportunities you get to mock both Christians and God.

This is obviously punishment from a just god. As the Good Book says:
“Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.” — Job 4:8
In yet another opportunity “to mock both Christians and God,” the AP is reporting that Oral Roberts University is having to lay off 100 employees due to the financial/spending scandal involving their former president.

cknuck I don’t mock things that don’t exist but I might occasionally mock hypocrites who claim to believe in them or perhaps do believe in them, and I guess non-hypocrites whose belief is pretty harmful. I admit I don’t know much about fof but it seems to always be on the wrong side of political issues.

The economic struggles will be effecting us all. I have little use for and almost nothing good to say about FoF. I find their ideals questionable, their theology suspect, and their publications useless. Nonetheless, I am interested to see they are struggling with the rest of us.

So many people are without jobs, all through our country. No wonder this has happened to FOF, too. We voted for a Change, and we are going to get it. Attitudes, beliefs, needs, change when things don’t come together and work for everyone….what you sow, you reap. The shame is most people didn’t sow this, just a few who wanted to change our democracy into their beliefs. Be patient, Obama will eventually put our country back together.

While, I do not think nearly as highly of FoF as jestrfyl does…my heart goes out to everyone who is loosing their job anywhere in the world…including those employed with FoF.
I am too am optimistic about the Obama administration. Not just to get our economy back in line…but even more so for the change in ethic that I have no doubt it will bring.

Sinsonte:__Oral Roberts is having to lay off 100 folks too? Guess the University too should see if their Divine Being aka God will provide. ____But I agree with you JohnQ, not a good thing when folks lose their jobs. Obama has his job cut out for him. I did vote for him and feel things will ge better…but it will take time. Of course as someone I heard on the radio said today….things can only go up, as they’re near bottom already.

I guess this is counter balanced by the budget cuts at the “National Cathedral”. Everyone is hurting and this will be felt in every church in every community. I guess Bush ought to be really proud of his legacy. Someone please take the keys to the Oval Office from him and just let him go to Crawford. he has done all the damage we can sustain as a nation.

John Q and Pagansister,____Call me a vindictive and bitter homosexual, but: Whenever bigots lose their jobs, whenever they lose their ability to spread hate, whenever they lose the ability to belittle and de-humanize their fellows, whenever they fail to make their livelihood from spreading deceit . . . it’s a good thing.

I was just waiting for something good to come out of the recession.

One of the better things that came out of the recession is that people came out and voted for prop 8

The best that has come out of the recession is Obama is our next president!! As to passing Prop. 8? ( Not a good thing at all. ____No, Sinsonte, I don’t think you’re a bitter and vindictive homosexual. FoF serves (ed)no purpose than to cause problems for a lot of people. I can guess for some that worked there and were layed off may have just needed a paycheck. Who knows? However if the group totally went under? No one would miss them. __ __

Um, I’m not sure Prop. 8 did come out of the recession.

In their website thanksfred page, it is mentioned Fred has been assisting the needing families and individuals to fix their lives. They have asking for donations as well. But nowhere they mentioned they have been laying off such large of number of employees, nor do they mention they donated more than 5$ million to the prop 8 campaign.

Seems that they spent so much money denying some people equal treatment before the law that they haven’t enough money left to pay people to promote the denying of treating some people equal treatment before the law.
My heart bleeds tears as big as horse turds.
