We do not pass a plate to request donations as part of our worship services.

All members are expected to pay 10% of their income for tithing. Towards the end of the year it is common for the bishop to have meetings with members to make sure they paid an honest tithing.

Then there are the guys who come to your door for building funds and lets not forget fasting money.

If members do not pay an honest tithing they can not get a temple recommend which means no celestial kingdom.

Since no one show their check stub how would the bishop know if one paid full tithe or not?

In all my 25 years I never had anyone come to my door for building funds!

If members do not pay an honest tithing they can not get a temple recommend which means no celestial kingdom.

Still again if one is not required to show their Check stub or bank statements how would the bishop know if one paid an honest tithe?

I don't know of anyone who would want to attend the Temple and not be honest in their dealing?

Because the Lord will not be there to greet them and their attendance will be a waste of time!

It is with the Lord you have the covenant with not the servant of the Lord!

It amazes me how one thinks these things through and using the world yardstick.

So many have missed the bigger picture thinking they are fooling his servants on earth when the Lord knows all our hearts and mind.
