Shifting that money to a new non-FBA won't help FBA. I understand if you need something that an FBA isn't providing in your immediate area or your research has fallen flat, but what if you have an option? Will you support?
FBA Sistas boycotting African salons, are you going to FBA Sistas like you? If your next move to make the boycott easier, is to do your own hair, then you're still boycotting FBA. All this spending power becomes a lick for other groups if little to none of it is spent in-house.
Also, there's something you should think about. Money is being dumped on these churches still, instead of tithing in the community through your own means, grassroots FBA organizations, nonprofits, and on-code churches who sew into the community for our betterment. Does your church have a mission fund where they send money to different countries? All this money going to these countries that include villages in Africa, and there are homeless FBAs on the streets over here. We have to donate to send stuff to the other side of the world because their own kin are so nasty, greed, corrupt, and unGodly, but our own backyard has a growing homeless population? What's wrong with this picture? And for the people from Africa who come over here being anti-FBA, you deserve all the karma you get. Despite the decades of money being given through organizations like the FBA church, and everything else, you're still moving demonically.
I'm not speaking for health, but I am speaking for the betterment of our community. FBA, shift your money and support where you're able to do so, and pray about shifting your tithes. If your church doesn't have an accountability statement to show you where the money is going, question it. I'd still question whether any is being taken off the top, but a reoccurring statement gives you a breakdown of where money's supposed to be going. Progress reports need to be presented too or they're playing. If the community is being neglected by the local church, but they can do for someone else, what's wrong with this picture?
This is what AI had to say when I asked what our spending power would do for us:
