SZ (who is also an ex-mormon who is now a Christian), they do not outright demand a tithe, but they do practice spiritual blackmail and there are often rumors that go around if you don’t tithe so ‘peer pressure’ is a factor.
SZ is correct, if you don’t tithe you aren’t ‘worthy’ to hold a temple recommend and that hurts your social standing in the church and in Utah the community because eventually it will get out.
SZ gave u the long form bus basically if you don’t pay a full 10% plus additional offerings you don’t get to go to what the Christians call heaven (the Celestial Kingdom -which is also conditional on several other ‘dos and don’ts).
I will talk to a couple of my friends who specialize in court cases against the LDS and freepmail you anything I find.
ARRRGH!!!
MORMONS!!!
