Been a bishop myself and I never requested to see a members tax return, pay stub, or anything of the sort. Members tithe according to their own conscience and conviction.
Then a TS is a complete waste of time!
But; DID you SEE 'a members tax return, pay stub, or anything of the sort' ??
Norm, since your response is to something I wrote, I am commenting. I specified this requirement of showing W2s and billing for tithes has occurred in different areas of southern California.
The high desert of Riverside County and the other Orange County.
There are other former lds members on FR who have said similar things regarding tithing have happened to them.
I have no reason to beleive that my lds friends and family are lying about this. When they talk about it, it is very matter of fact as though it’s no big deal.
So, a member IS allowed to reach the celestial kingdom if "his own conscience and conviction" lead him to donate less than a full tithe?
Source, please. Mormon scripture link?
Members tithe according to their own conscience and conviction.

Normy,
A tithe is 10%
if members of mormonism arent giving 10% then they are not tithing...
They have no choice
the amount is set at 10% by SLC...
Their “own conscience and conviction” means nothing to the Morg...
