The inequality of LDS tithing doctrine

[_zeezrom]

Figuring out how much tithing is not the responsibility of the individual. This is a practice issued by the mouthpieces of God and therefore is the responsibilty of the mouthpiece of God to stipulate the basic parameters. The reckless behavior of LDS leadership is hurting people and they should be held responsible.

Bcspace, God told me not to pay any tithing because it wasn't be spent in line with His wishes.
(I'm serious, God 'told' me this in the way Mormonism teaches we get confirmation from God about decisions)

Excellent. I take it you have resigned from the Church or never joined in the first place?

Why would I need to resign?
Do you feel all non tithe paying members should resign?
Is not paying tithing a sin worthy of a Church court?

Have you resigned over your apostate flood beliefs?

Let me tell you an inspirational tithing story.

Once upon a time there was a guy who got paid and he had to decide whether to pay 10% to some old guys in Salt Lake City, or buy a bunch of crap for himself. He decided to buy a bunch of stuff for himself, and he was really happy.

The End.

I remember when I asked that question when I first joined the churh over 30 years ago. I was told "Do you want "net" blessings or "gross" blessings. I paid on my gross salary all the way up until I left the church. What a idiot....

By not looking up the doctrine of the Church you joined, yes, you were an idiot. Probably a part time believer as well if your membership lasted for some years and you didn't know it merely via absorption.

"By not looking up the doctrine of the Church you joined..."

Yep back in 1979 when I was investigating the church I should have hopped on the ole' internet and looked up the church doctrine on tithing. Oh and just what is the "church doctrine" in tithing anyway? I think that was the point of this OP

Lol, LDS doctrine governing the practice of tithing:

Determine how to pay based on your interpretation of ambiguous and guilt-ridden rhetoric.

If different talks give different sum, pay the biggest one of them.

I think you'd just get blessings, instead. A very handy item to use at the local grocery store to pay for food, etc. I don't think your extra blessings will work for buying wine, beer or cigarettes, though (kinda like food stamps).

After the checker bags your acceptable supplies, show him your TR and, using one of your extra blessings, say "bless you my son" and walk out the door.
