So, you attend a nice church building, the pastor there for you, preaching and teaching, local missions alongside other believers, but pass the plate empty? You are perhaps not concerned whether the staff there can pay their bills, tending the "altar" for you continually? Let the church roof leak, the water stay disconnected, no lights due to too few supporters? d ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. .......
Blah blah blah
......If anyone says they have nothing to do with church attendance or reasonable fellowship/assembly with reasonable accountability to elders/deacons/pastors/teachers/peers/etc, then your problem is much greater than the issue of tithing. I wouldn't try to reinvent the church. False cults led by deceivers do that.

Answer: I did not, therefore stop jumping to conclusions.
First of all my church does not own a building, secondly I did not say I do not give to my church, I simply said give where you are prompted to give. One month I gave £100 to a teenage Romanian woman selling Big Issue magazine because Holy Spirit would not let it go for hours and hours, got to point where I tried to shut it out and ignore her, did not go near her, but I gave in and said OK God, so be it. That was the amount she had fallen short of rent that month, she was choking back the tears, turns out she is a born again Christian. God provides for his own in mysterious ways. Needless to say my church did not get any money, but God looks after our church as well.
