  1. Misguided tithe

    Someone who thinks the Church doesn't handle money well apparently thinks they should be tithing their livelihood instead of dollars, although I can't imagine how ordering a product on Amazon represents your livelihood.

  3. A quotation from George Carlin

    Religion — easily — has the Greatest Bullshit Story Ever Told! Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man — living in the sky — who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things He does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, He has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry, forever and ever, till the end of time! But He loves you! He loves you. He loves you and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise — somehow just can’t handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story, holy shit!

  4. @MarkHoltom The NYS Lottery is up to $1.15B now. I never play the lottery but bought a ticket ($20) so my dreaming about how I would spend it if I win could be "real." I discovered that the concept of $1B is virtually incomprehensible. As is the good I could do with it. #payoffdebt #tithe #family #buildanenergyefficientmasstransitsystem

  5. Downloaded 1841, 1851, and 1861 census returns for my village. Hoping to set up a second monitor to make data entry easier. Located one ancestor on the 1836 Tithe Survey - sadly the house is gone.

  6. Although I was mistaken that #nationalthriftshopday was Saturday, it WAS yesterday. I very nearly missed out on it completely, but omw home from the gym I hit one shop for a 1 yo's jacket for a #Muppet Whatsit I found in a Philly #thrift shop years ago, & several small toys from street vendors, for a combined #tithe of $15.

    This was likely for the best, b/c #thriftfu #litotimancy sent me ALL THIS in the previous couple weeks. (I'm afraid I can't tally them up right this moment: I'm at work.)

    True! Showing up helps! ☝️😃

    It's good to allocate for #donations #pledges #tithes. Give if/what we can spare -- whether to education, children's welfare, medical missions, the environment...

    Doesn't take much to support some worthwhile #causes / #charities like #WorldVision or #unicef.

    Some churchgoers think there's no need to #tithe. Well, the #church has expenses too, y'know.

    And, may I submit that everyone* should get paid* for their #work*.

    Hello?? 🤪

  8. Today in my morning bible study, I realized I have had a limited view on tithing my time. I had just viewed it as volunteering here or helping someone there or running sound for a worship band or lead a youth group. But I think it should also include, and probably more importantly, devotion & prayer time.
