I think these pentecostal organizations should do what other organizations do - pay pastors a salary through the organization - would keep them from forgetting what they are there for!!!!

Well scripture does for one, look I am not legalistic about this, but I think it to be a tragedy for someone to be a recepient of spiritual offerings from ministry, then not want to share their material wealth with the people that feed them spiritual things (
1 Corinthians 9).
I am not above taking care of those other needs (para-church, missions), but when you attend a certain church on a regular basis and not tithe there then you are a not living up to your responsiblilty, which is sinful.
