[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a Unitarian I was asked to contribute 1% of my income.  They even sent the Membership committee to my little basement studio apartment to have the discussion.  I had been giving a nice amount each week at the service and thought that was enough. (I was just a couple of years out of college and working 2 jobs). I moved to another state and started attending another Unitarian church, but did not like it as much as the first one so I just left.

Being asked is different from being required.  And it's perfectly ordinary for churches to have pledging committees that make personal visits.  It's not just to get $$, it's to get to know each other..[/quote]

Hahahahaha [/quote]

Yes, the PTL Pass-The-Loot committee.   Jim Bakker would be proud. [/quote]

Liberal churches have pledging committees -- every religious organization needs $$ to survive.  The Jews and mormons have actual dues.  Most christian churches leave the mount given up to the individual, irrespective of income.[/quote]
