I know of some churches, not affiliated with the Walk that closed down suddenly, just a pastor walking in and saying, "this church is closed, this is the last Sunday, I gave all the money to the "mission field." I don't know what happened to church property, they must not have had it paid for.
I researched it some on the internet and it seems that if churches close the people that gave to build them have no recourse, because church contributions are tax deductable, they gave, and it is gone, they should know what they are giving to, that's it.
As far as the leadership gaining financially on it, that is a felony. Remember Jim Baker? But in the case of these leaders, nobody will say a word, they will just wander off and lick their wounds. They have drunk the kool-aid, for too many years they have "repented until they got a revelation" of what ever they were told.
They did one thing right, and here is the shame, they did walk in the word they got, they gave themselves wholeheartedly. They even believed John when he said,"even if the shepherd is wrong, if you submit, God will honor you." But no, not true.
