Well! That's a much more thorough piece than the one in the OP. Nobody came off looking very good in that story, I'm afraid.

The family sounded at least very defensive. The husband should have kept his ass off camera--he was jumping in there to save his wife, but he just made it a bunch worse. And the news piece was clearly edited to make them look as foolish as possible (and they did have a reporter pushing a microphone in their faces). Not that they did themselves any favors, but still.

The church members sounded whiny and accusatory. Not a great position for a church to take.

The part I was really listening for was at the end: The church said they gave them the house with the understanding that they were moving to Memphis. That might have gone without saying, considering they were buying a house and all, or the couple might have said it explicitly. Either way the church didn't have anything on paper about that, of course, so there's nothing illegal in what this couple has done. I guess the morality of it is arguable, though.
