Um, a close friend of mine is becoming a minister and the church will provide for him. However he is going to work in a very small congregation, but even he doesn't tithe.
He gives 10% to charities because most churches spend way to much on pastor's salaries, cars, etc.
Every wonder why the Pope has a popemobile? Or the Aga Khan a private jet with AK747 initials? It's from all the tithing.
My roommate is a muslim and according to him only a portion of tithe they are preached should go to the church, 2.5% and 10% to charities. Because the church gets A LOT.
I wonder don't those who give to organized religion where all the money goes? Or do you get to see your church's books?
