Hmm. I think I would tend to agree absolutely with your statements, Mark. They’ve had many, many years of practice to discover what does or does not work to bring in the dollars. If I remember correctly, they DO go by the instructions that God gave to Israel concerning tithing. (Please correct me if I’m wrong on that point, Phil.)
