Christian Tithing: A curse...or is NOT tithing a curse?

reply to post by halfoldman
I live in a small town in Southeastern Louisiana. There is a church not very far from me, maybe a couple of miles. It is a large congregation considering Brother Swaggart, and another up and comer who seems to have fallen off the pulpit abruptly without explanation. But These three; A black husband and black wife Pastor, and a white assistant Pastor preach to the congregation to "GIVE and YOU SHALL RECEIVE". I have met some of the members of this church and of course they all seem very happy. I am glad that they are happy at thier own expense. (more than 10%) Every week. But what turns my stomach is that I see the THREE that really benefit from "GIVING AND THEY RECEIVED" club drive. Nice BRAND NEW BENTLYS. No BS. I will just sit there in front of the church and take Pics of their $250,000 Brititsh toys.
