NOTE:  Contrary to what some people think, policy is often ignored, and is selectively enforced.

they're just mad because they aren't getting as much money to fritter away, as has been their modus operandi for years

If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony.

Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?

Oh boy! I thought we had a serious problem. But it seems that one person sent tithes to the GC and the Oregon conference wants it back!

"It recently came to our attention that a member of the Oregon Conference returned tithe as a direct contribution to the General Conference."

But thanks for the heads up on how local conferences are behaving. I do get tired of seeing tithe money being frivolously used. Perhaps I can send it off to the inter-american division instead!
