I don't see a problem with tithing or just being charitable in general. I give 10% to my daycare provider for help with crafts, trips or others supplies she may need for the kids and I gave that even when I was out of work for several months. This is separate from standard daycare costs. People just need to use good judgement/common sense and also get more involved in church finances. If the church is not willing to share it's budget or financial plan or just lacks one in general, then I wouldn't tithe any money to them.

If your pastor seems to be dressing more nicely every week and the AC still isn't fixed or you're witnessing general dilapidation, then don't tithe. People really need to get more involved with any organization they are giving their money too. ANY charitable organization can rip you off and church is no different.

Most black churches never share the finances with the congregation, especially black mega churches. I don't tithe 10%, but I give an offering because the church has bills just like everyone else, and if I'm coming every other week or so, I don't wanna use up their resources without giving back.

However, in regards to the article, I agree about the whole stick up routine. They really do try to shame you into giving most times. I went to NewBirth where a lot of those tactics mentioned in the article were used.

Yeah the whole making people feel like shyt if they don't tithe or forcing people is for the birds. If they aren't willing to share finances with me or at least give a heads up as to what type of things are outstanding they plan to use the money for then
