It could also afford Doug the opportunity of evading any authorities businesses that may need already opened investigations against him. The Doug Phillips family will also have to search out different living lodging, perhaps more modest, or perhaps not, depending on how effectively Doug has plundered the ministry and business coffers. On the non-revenue ministry side of the house, Vision Forum Ministries "postponed" the 2014 San Antonio Independent Film Festival, and the Christian Filmmakers Academy. From reviewing the tax returns that are still publicly available (2009, 2010, 2011) one can easily decide that thousands and thousands of dollars poured into Vision Forum Ministries. It will possibly vary from kissing (for example, making out) to other sexual activities. The numerous lavish international Phillips family trips would be indicative of that, and Doug routinely also introduced alongside his paramour on such journeys, paid for out of Vision Forum Ministries donor funds.. Multiple lavish journeys to exotic lands, the best of lodging, all the time dressed to the nines, all paid for by Vision Forum Ministries tax-deductible donor funds, together with the luxurious Ancient Greece Tour barely one month previous to Doug’s resignation. With the announcement on November 11, 2013 of the closing of Vision Forum Ministries numerous staff have been terminated, leaving only a skeleton crew.
