Tithing is a religious principle, and it is biblically based (New Testament).

Fail. Tithing is an OLD TESTAMENT, not New, principle and is 30% not 10%.
Does your church open its books to the membership? Mine does as does every other Christian church.
Mormonism does not. What are they hiding? (I know the answer to that).
The only thing that is not 'open' is the individual record of those giving to the church.
The only one to sees it all is the treasurer. Oh, the folks who collect the plates and deliever the collections to the treasurer may get a glimpse of what's written on an envelope, or see a check, or but that's about it.
