I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the Mormon church is extraordinarily effective at enforcing its tithing.

It is - one of the many ways that Mormon teaching is at odds with historic Christianity. I have to admit that I'm more than a little uncomfortable with a Mormon leading the charge for religious revival. When it comes to politics, however, Beck nails it every time.

You are correct. No mormon tithing, no Temple recommend, no entry into the highest level of mormonic heaven, no becoming a god of your own planet, no celestial harem of goddesses to populate your future world, no worshippers. Basically, your whole Celestian Amway downline is gone!

How so? It’s on an honor system. It’s not like the Bishop asks for tax or payroll receipts or anything like that. You are simply asked once a year if you are a full tithe payer or not.

I guess if you want to call that enforcing, you can.
