Also, why would elders be reviewing the giving records of their congregants? And how would they gather info on how much each congregant is actually making?
This was going to be my question...how would the elders KNOW if they are tithing enough of their income?

Are they going to do as the LDS Church does and require it's members to submit their income tax returns so they know exactly how much they make and send them a Bill for their tithes? Or are they going to guess on the income of it's members and send them a bill for their tithes?

I believe as a Pastor teaches on tithing and giving, the Lord will convict the hearts of those He desires to convict to give more..
