Thank you Instrument and BB. These viewpoints are more in line with what I have experienced. Tithing is a personal decision. Yes, the plate is passed in my church but there isn't any "pressure" that I feel to put money in that plate. In fact, we give a check every month so 3 weeks out of 4 we just pass the plate right along.
If you are truly feeling pressure then I would say it is either A) the church is truly focusing on money too much and needs to get back to its true priorities or B) you are being too sensitive about the issue and need to realize that churches rely on their member's gifts and offerings to survive.
