Since not everyone who believes in tithing is money hungry, focused on money more than souls. I have seen people blessed by their giving, whether it was ten percent, or a 100%. Jesus loves those who give willingly and cheerfully. So, stick to your original plan and get that group together. You are fishing for those of like precious belief systems. Being at the First Church of Tithe Checks won't git er done. Get ahold of Totemaster and build it, and they will come. Or does that only work for baseball? :heeheehee

I hear ya.

The danger of adding to the word of God as in a money tithe is now we see a 5% guilt trip added.

My pastor owns atleast 10 rental houses, and receives into his charge just over 240K each year from our church members under the category of tithe. (Also a separate 250K comes in as offerings).
To answer your two questions: I personally choose not to set aside money just for only my pastor. I also do not give a certain percentage as offerings either. I do give cash into the offering. To my err, I probably should be more cheerful about it when I do, since God does love a cheerful giver.
