This is a difficult situation. The Fair Tax, as proposed by Neal Boortz, would solve these dilemmas. Meanwhile, while we are waiting for the tax code to change ( ), the answer is education. Those who resist it up front will get the more expensive sort before long. This is just one more benefit of an organization!

While I support the concept of the preacher taking all the tithe, it ought to be channelled through the church books and paid as a salary to simplify the legal risks. Realistically, churches can't afford to pay the entire sum designated as tithe to the pastor and still keep the lights on and the doors open, so it ends up being a percentage or a fixed number.
