So basically, when you pay your tithing, just submit the receipt to the church and let them now the funds allocation has already been taken care of, and they don't need to worry about your contribution. That's one way you can go the extra mile in serving your church.

Quite possibly, Schmo, that's an example of Supreme Court stunning rhetoric. I wouldn't know. Or have any right to question or argue the point. Being anonymous and all.

I never had enough money when I was paying tithing. Now that I'm not paying tithing, I still don't have enough money.

Hmm. Somebody has a sense of humor and somebody does not. Carry on. I like your Avatars.
