You couldn't be more wrong. The Catholic Church, for example, requires no tithe. pnwmom Aug 2013 #59

Not completely true. When I was growing up, every single parish had an envelope system msanthrope Aug 2013 #88

When you were growing up was some time ago. And even then no one was prevented from pnwmom Aug 2013 #100

L. Ron Hubbard wasn't even a good science fiction writer! He was basically a hack! LongTomH Aug 2013 #129

What other church kicks out members simply for getting too old to work? pnwmom Aug 2013 #102

Thank you Snake, for pointing that out 7962 Aug 2013 #90

That's not true. You can go to a Catholic Church for Mass every Sunday in your life and never drop pnwmom Aug 2013 #57

Methodist too. xmas74 Aug 2013 #73

This is NOT true. You are mistaking the concept of charitable giving and/or tithing IdaBriggs Aug 2013 #93
