What is wrong with encouraging somebody to keep a commandment of God? Reminding the members that tithing settlement is coming up and providing them with a list of the donations they have made over the year is standard operating procedure. Nowhere does the list specify how much those donations should be, it is just a factual listing of what I have donated. I’m the only one who can look at that list and tell if I’ve paid a full tithe or not.

How can I honestly tell the Bishop that the records concerning what I gave are correct if I don’t have a chance to review what those records say? Why try to make a simple matter of good bookkeeping into something sinister?

It is no mans business what your tithes/offerings/alms are.
Why are members reminded to tithe, if it is such an important part of lds.
Can you source the commandment that says you are required to tithe?
The bottom line is that lds revolve their tithing/giving around what some guy says should happen and how if you don’t tithe you are unworthy, where as Christian tithing revolves around God and worship.

Poor soul; do you not realize that you MORMONs are FAILING to follow 'a commandment of God'?

Namely polygamy.

Sadly, you CHOOSE to fear the United States Government instead of your GOD.
