Mormons are even more demanding. Some years ago I drove bus for a charter service. The evangelical churches frequently chartered busses on Sunday morning to help bring members to church. What was very apparent to me was that many of these members didn't want to go, but the bus would stop, about 3 deacons would get out to retrieve the reluctant parisheners, and they would lead them to their ride. If they weren't dressed the decons would stay, the bus would get the next rider, and then come back for them.

Al, Evangelicals on public TV and cable openly request their members to tithe 10% of their income, making it very clear that it means all forms of income, and citing the bible as the source of the obligation. Mormons are even more demanding. In other words, every Christian church in your mind requires tithing. I must be going to the wrong churches then, because none of the ones I went to require it. And back when I went to college, the on-campus services didn't even pass around the offering plate. Instead, they just leave it next to the door, kind of like those tip jars at local restaurants.
