“We were expected to tithe on our GROSS income. We were told that it was a “true” ten percent. Then, beyond that, we were expected to give towards missions, fundraisers, camps and anything else they deemed to be more important than paying our bills. I was even told that I needed to tithe on my disability check!” – Angela
“My wife passed away from cancer several years ago. While at the funeral home, my pastor asked me if I had a life insurance policy on my wife. I told him I did and how much it was. His response was, “Wow! That will make for a good tithe!” I became angry, but kept silent. It showed me that he did not care about me, my wife or my two girls, he only cared about the money!” — Troy
