Hopefully all pastors pay tithes.

My point was, you made it seem unethical that a pastor would use money that he gets from the church (e.g., his salary/tithes) to pay for a membership in the WPF. If that was your point, then I disagree with it.

Are you saying it is unethical if he uses tithes to support the WPF instead of the UPCI? (Actually, that would be "in addition to") OR, are you suggesting that it would only be wrong for him to use the tithes he would normally pay into the church or district for that purpose?

My Dad paid his tithes into a separate church fund and used it to pay evangelists, give missionaries a little extra, etc. He never paid it to the district, because he didn't trust them to put it to good use.
