Me too. 15% was the minimum... of the gross amount on your check (regardless of what Uncle Sam and everyone else got to keep) and then you still were expected to participate in all the sundry and various fundraisers which would include one of the dumbest things... make a dinner for your family, bring it to church, and then pay 5 dollars a person just to get to eat it!
And never, ever was it taught that you were to help out the widows, fatherless poor people in the church, community or your neighborhood... no, just give to the Missions and that takes care of that. We found out that maybe 20% of what you actually give to to the UPCI Missions program, actually goes to the country to help out with the gospel.... If that much...
