True, that. I only brought up my own situation to make the point about deductions, not out of self promotion. The acts I perform that really count are between me and The Almighty and the recipient, and there have been times the latter did not know.

I know. I was trying to get across to others that many tithe payers choose to keep it solely between themselves and G_d unless they want the tax break. :)
Other than that, the topic bothers me because it appears some people seem to think they have a right to know whether you, or I, or anyone pays a tithe or not. It’s a matter of obedience between a person and G_d.
But, if they want to point fingers and gossip, nothing I can say will stop them, that’s for sure.
