They were charged with guarding the Holy City, and failed, why did the Church not disband them at the end of he Crusades? Any here a Knight's Templer?

The Knights Templar were disbanded. Just because none of their fleet of ships, vast holdings of property, or money were ever recovered or accounted for doesn't mean that they didn't fade into history as you've been told. Just because the Pope had trials for the Knights Templar and found them innocent of any charges is no reason to suspect that the disbanding of the Templars was just a show and that they continue to exist to this day, some 700 years later.
You should know the church has never been involved in any mysterious conspiracies like you would be inferring exists. Shame on you.

Christoph Hoffmann and Georg David Hardegg founded the Temple Society (not to be confused with the Knights of the Templars) at Kirschenhardthof near Ludwigsburg in 1861. This religious society has its roots in the Pietism within the Lutheran Church in the State of Württemberg. Called "Deutscher Tempel" by its founders, their aim was to promote spiritual cooperation to advance the rebuild of the Temple in the Holy Land (Palestine of the time) In the belief that their foundation promotes the second coming of Christ. On their course to achieve that goal, their contributions towards raising the standards of agriculture, crafts, scientific research, business and building in an undeveloped province under Turkish rule were significant. Many see them as an indispensable helping force in the early establishment of the Yishuv, and perhaps a role model for the Zionist Movement of the time.

The original Templars were rounded up by the Church and secular authorities and executed in the 14th century. I would consider that pretty must constitutes disbanding. Probably a few escaped, but it was finished as an organization. There are groups which claim some spiritual connection to them, but are not truly part of the original group.

They're still around because they are immortal.
And they don't care about you.
Why then do you care about them?

Because they need to be with others that cannot spell well.
