Query about Tithing
If your church used your tithing to pay it's court costs would you be offended?
Was this addressed elsewhere? If so...sorry.

Wow, that is an interesting question Virote! I am suprised there aren't more posts on this one. But then again half the posts I think are interesting don't get a lot of hits  ! To each his own!
I think to me it would depend on why they were in court. I would have a hard time if it was for a sex scandal or something like that. If it was because of something frivilous then I would probably be okay with it. Very interesting post. |

Yes, it would depend on what they were defending. If it was something I agreed with, sure. If it was something I disagreed with, then I might question it.
Did you have something specific in mind Virote?

Does one really have a say as to where their general tithing money is spent?

I had the suits against the Catholic church in mind, and the millions they'll be shelling out to compensate victims of clergy molestation, but I meant it as a broad question. Thank you for replying |

Some churches will say that they're having a collection for a specific thing, but I don't think so. |
