We were trying to live on $1000 a month and the pastor insisted that we pay tithes. Not only did he insist we pay tithes and offering, but he wanted us to pay past tithes and offering that we hadn't paid because we simply couldn't afford it. There was more than one time we went without electricity for a day because pastor wanted his money. And yes, the pastor was fully aware of our financial struggles. We were the youth leaders and it simply wasn't right for us to be in a leadership position and not pay our tithes. People would complain. He also insisted that we take at least 2 kids a month out to eat and pay for the meal out of our own pockets. We couldn't afford our own groceries and yet we were supposed to eat out AND treat other people's kids??? I'm still a little bitter about all this....
