When a change is for the betterment of an organization, it is easy to support, but when it (as I believe) will have a negative impact, it is difficult to stand by and say nothing.

With the prior plan, you could pay your budgets in full and know that monies raised for special purposes would go 100% to that purpose.
In our church, monies raised for special purposes will go 100% to that purpose. We established a local church policy that we won't pay apportionments out of designated giving. We will pay apportionments out of tithes and offerings.
