RE: After we paid them $9M for “their” property.
Boy, your church must be special. Not many churches can afford to do that at all!
If you are in Texas, my response - not many churches have multiple billionaires who got them into a position where they had to pay anything to get out.
If not in Texas, my comment is probably irrelevant to your situation, and I do wish you well moving forward, in any event.
