Florida Residents Disturbed By Paula White’s Abandoned Without Walls Central Church [VIDEO]
While many were able to see right through the take over at the late Pastor Zachery Tims’ New Destiny church, Paula White has left yet another bad taste in many people’s mouths. The residents of Lakeland, Florida are disturbed and worried about the abandoned property known as the ‘Carpenter’s Home’ which housed as well Paula White’s former Without Walls Central Church.
As you may know, the church property has not held services for several months and has been vacant which has allowed vandals and the homeless to take on residence there. We followed the story last month about the vacant church and found a video of a resident that took photos of the property in its current ruined state. The abandonment of such a beautiful historic site shows White’s utter disrespect for the former members of the church and most importantly her lack of carrying out God’s divine purpose.
Local News reports have confirmed the original report done in the video mentioned above, that the building has windows broken out and graffiti and interior damage exists. Reporters visited the church property recently and saw for themselves what the owner’s have left in this community.
Margaret Waibel lives near the property and told reporters:
“There’s a big window broken out, so people can come and go. When my friend and I walk our dogs over there, we try to check the doors and lock back the doors but it’s pretty futile. They’re coming through the windows and reopening the doors.”
Even the Lakeland Police Department has been called out about the property the past year and they are assigned to keep watch over vacant buildings that attract homeless persons and vandals.
The Legder reported:
The building received attention recently from Susan Puzio of Prophetic News, an online radio program. Puzio posted a 14-minute report on YouTube titled “Without Walls Lakeland Florida abandoned by Paula White” that featured photos and commentary from Lakeland resident Karen Pansler-Lam.
Pansler-Lam, a 40-year resident, said she is praying to see the former home for carpenters become a dormitory for an independent Bible school.
“Carpenter’s Home is a unique historic building that should be preserved because it is a valuable part of Lakeland’s heritage,” Pansler-Lam said. “I love historic buildings and it breaks my heart to see the (Carpenter’s) Home neglected and vandalized.“
We have been in contact with Susan Puzio and Karen Pansler-Lam and have praised them on the excellent report and work they did to get this original story out to the public. We agree with Karen when she stated the neglect of this historic building shows ‘poor stewardship’ which proves prosperity gospel isn’t working.
Bay News 9 reported on the building days ago and one woman who was a former member of Without Walls Central Church was taped clinging to the building and praying that it will once again be for the glory of God. Thanks to Mrs. Pansler-Lam for forwarding the video to us.

Unfortunately I’ve been following this whole state of affairs through a friend who lives in Florida. If you think about it Paula White is actually an insult to the con artist. A “good” con artist takes advantage of you and leaves, but she continues to run one game after another with no end in sight. Your observation that this is proof that the prosperity gospel is a lie is very true. So many of these mega church CEOs claimed to be building houses of worship, but they were actually building monuments to themselves. (LOOK WHAT I DID!) When I learned that really was the pastor of yet another church I was astounded. Any “worldly” person would see clearly that Paula White is not to be trusted, yet she still has devoted followers who will pack the house to listen to her carnival barking. God gave us brains for a reason, but apparently many who call themselves believers check their good sense at the church doors.
So true, Lillizita. This was interesting to cover and we are just sorry that people continue to follow her and not see her for what she is. All of this prosperity gospel is really getting old and We can see it breaking up very soon as the riches will dry up when people start wising up.
