Okay. I did a little verbage adjustment. Instead of saying "the organization to which they belong" I put "to the ministry to which they belong", speaking of the ministry that the tithes belong to....i.e., the storehouse, etc.

Stupid and submissive. Submissive to the point of being outlandishly stupid.
