To the person who said cynical people need to go to church. I never went to church because back when we were broke they expected my mom to tithe. She didn't. I still don't think she's going to hell and neither am I. Here's my post on what she did
here.
She stopped going to church and she began giving back. I do too. So it's not about the giving.
I read
NeedtobeDebtFree and he rarely has money for extras. And yet he tithes, and everytime I suggest giving in time and effort he ignores the suggestion. I wonder what his family and him (JW Thornhill) are learning about tithing? That you give to look good instead of giving them time and learning to be selfless? And have true faith????
