If that is NOT the case, then the IRS has changed their rulings, which I don't believe is the case. If the pastor is paid, receives a check from the tithing account, and does NOT have SOLE control, the total amount in the account is NOT considered received.

Anyone knowing the IRS WORDING is everything. Our wording is correct and in accordance to all IRS codes my accountant makes sure of it. But I am in control though I do not take them all if I took them all then I would pay on them I don't want to go to Hell or jail.
