[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a pledge? seriously? A PLEDGE???????????? WTH?

I'd run from a church that "encourages" any such thing. Seriously, my dad is a pastor and I can't fathom the though of asking people how much they intend to give during the year.

Do the freaking budget based on the previous years. [/quote]

Most churches do this, so I'm not sure why you're behaving like it's unusual or offensive, especially since your father is a pastor. You really should know better (or, I suspect you do but you're being obtuse).

I sit on the Finance Committee of our church. We do actually base budgets on six-year averages, but pledges make up 2/3 of the budget. It's common and there isn't anything wrong with it.[/quote]

Well I should have said I'm from another country then. I'm in shock to know this. What if the person loses a job, gets a salary cut, has sickness in the family... what do they do? Go into debt to pay what they promised what they were giving? This is absurd![/quote]
