I can't speak for everyone who teaches tithing, but I can say that this is untrue about people I know.
I personally have not heard anyone teach tithing in the spirit you say they do. I don't doubt that it has probably happened since I've heard all kinds of things taught.
Personally, whenever I talk about tithes and offerings, I always associate the blessings that come as a result. It is the only place in the entire Bible where God says "if you don't believe me, try me." He wasn't talking about damnation there, he was talking about blessings.
He said that if we didn't believe he would bless us immeasurably through tithing, then we should try him and see if he'll prove it.
If God is willing to say that, then I believe him. FTR, I have never had him fail me yet.
