Blaine, if an LDS member does not tithe, can that one get a temple recommend? Can that one enter the celestial kingdom? Can that one enter godhood?

>Your article on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was very well done. I have been a Mormon all my life, attending meetings, paying tithes and offerings, teaching children and adults in church classes, etc. We Mormons believe that the sacrifice of worldly goods is an important principle, requiring faith in God as it does, but we also believe in freedom to exercise moral agency--which means, as far as monetary contributions are concerned, each member is free to pay or not. Your report made it seem as if Mormons are under a great deal of pressure to pay their annual 10% tithe. I don't think there is much pressure, other than that of individual conscience, to pay tithes or other contributions.
