[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you who tithe, do you give the full 10% to the church or do you interpret this to mean that you can give some of it to missions or any other cause you find worthy[/quote]

We give most to the. church. My grandfather was a pastor until his church hit a financial bump. They cut his already meager salary in half. Clergy kids deserve to eat, too.[/quote]
Really? Are the kids of the clergy going hungry now?

When the church won't pay  pastors enough to feed their kids, it's definitely time to look for another job -- and maybe question their faith.[/quote]

Just want to emphasize that "the church" that is paying the pastor is nearly always the congregation, made up of individuals. Very few denominations have central organizations that pay into local churches.  If my fellow congregants don't give, our minister doesn't get paid.

I was 10 years old the last time I had a minister who was a parent -- it's very difficult to afford a family and most ministers I know are single.[/quote]
