Although it seems strange. Why would they deny a person the blessings associated with paying tithing no matter where the money came from?
Do you believe a person who knowingly receives stolen money will receive blessings by paying tithing on it?

Hold on pilgrim ..
Is that why you pay tithing? Because you expect God to reward you ??
God has the right to create and to destroy, to make like and to kill. He can delegate this authority if he wishes to. I know that can be scary. Deal with it.

Did God put a qualifier on what kinds of money He will give blessing on??
Is money made from porn and alcohol and coffee sales any less tainted in God's eyes than stolen money?? Why should Bill Marriott get any blessings for the tithing he pays on his ill gotten gains???

That's between Bill Marriott and God. Why in the world should I even care? Either God accepts it or not and I have no idea whether he does. I don't expect God to tell me either.

Yet they accept the tithes of swindlers, cheats, child molesters, rapists, spouse abusers, thieves and all kinds of other folk who come by the money dishonestly. What is the big deal about refusing gambling money? In many states the schools benefit from the sales. On many reservations gambling money has paid for a higher level of living and intoxication than before seen.
Money is money so what is the difference?
The LDS Church welcomes Wetbacks. Law breakers. Why not welcome the cash donation of those who give freely when they get lucky on the lottery?
I have not seen nor heard qualifying questions on tithing. Questions like "where did the money come from?"
