The church bought the house and gave it to them, so yes they are "out" something...mainly the 75k it cost to buy the house. If the couple didnt "want" to live there, they should have given it back to the church so they could have helped another needy family.
I have no problem believing they "scammed" the church. Lord knows there was enough of that going on here when the red cross set up their centers here to help the Katrina refugees. People from the area and NOT new orleans were taking and taking and reselling or using the money or housing in non katrina affiliated ways.
RB I just cant wrap my mind around your way of thinking, what these people did was wrong wrong wrong. If the church wanted anything out of it, it was to help a truly needy family and they got scammed. The motivations of the "family" are what need to be scrutinized, NOT the church. The churches here do LOTS to help the needy, free clothes, help with paying bills, free groceries etc without expecting one single thing in return, including service attendance...and I know cause I've been on the "giving" end and the only thing that was ever said when the "gift" was given was...one day when you're on your feet maybe you can do like kind.
