So, most who visit, simply do not stick around. However, there is one member, Daddi Warbux, of this small congregation that earns $80 million annually. Should Daddi be tithing $8 million a year (10%) to this church and should Joe Preacher live as a millionaire as a result of this one person's tithing?


What say ye?
Yes. If this is his home church, then he should be tithing to this house and yes--Joe Preacher reaps the benefits. Daddi Warbux is obviously a smart man if he earns $80 million annually. If he wants to sit and listen to, and bless a dull, boring speaker by being there, that's his business.
