Not to interrupt the diatribe that has taken over the thread, but...
My wife and I give ~10% of our gross checks to our local assembly. We label our checks as 'tithes' but only as a distinction between the general fund and the building fund, youth, etc. (Our pastor is salaried, and does not receive all tithes. During lean times, he has refused his salary in order for church bills to be paid first.) When we are able, we try to give directly to the pastor and his wife as well.
