[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I go to a presbyterian church for this exact reason.  It was the only way I could find to meet people our age, with kids our age.  We tried a few, found one where we got along with the other young adults, had similar drinking / going out / partying / staying in habits, and were immediately invited in to the friend groups.  We do lots of volunteering with them, as well as community fun things - camping trips, Hershey Park, apple picking, baking for the cold weather shelter... No regrets here.  And approx. 12% chance I believe in it LOL [/quote]

Honest question. If you guys attend church for social reason, do you tithe (offering)? Do you join/become a member?

How do other church members view the non-tithed member?

My belief is not as strong as it once was and have not been to church regularly for a long time. I had great time as member of youth/children group in a church setting and would like my children to experience the same. Not sure if I want to join a church and give tithe when I don't believe that much anymore.[/quote]

No one knows whether you're paying or not - there is no list - and AGAIN - you can try it out as long as you want, until you die if you like. No one is going to say anything. [/quote]

There may not be a published list, but the church staff and leadership knows who's pledging what.[/quote]

Explain then? Seems to me that if you are writing a check every month, the people who are in charge of depositing that money would eventually notice.

Wrong. You're clearly not Catholic. [/quote][/quote]
