Yes, most of the people thought they would be getting their own hall. When they found out it wasn't going to happen they were not at all happy. Then they had to be told 'When you give your money to the society you should not worry about how they decide to spend it' meaning if they decide to keep it thats none of your concern.

They knew they got ripped off but had to accept it if they wanted to be good Christians.
