How so? I've never really been to church apart from the odd carol service so not sure how it all works. When you're not brought up with this stuff it all just seems weird and pointless.
My impression was that they engineered it so that you would be publically shamed if you don't give cash. Though given you have to give 10% of your salary I'd imagine this is done through a bank transfer? How does it all work?
At best I guess it could be seen as kinda like a service such as a gym, and you are paying for that service. They obviously don't want you to see it like that, but that is essentially what it is. I'm not sure however that you can claim your money back if you find out later your pastor has been teaching you the wrong stuff (well according to the pastor at the church down the road).
