Mormons dad and son win Amazing Race

[Stifle Tower]

When a family in the early church had baby chickens and they paid tithing with a chicken, did they "earn" those chickens?

Also, in the amazing race, how can you say that it wasn't "earned"? They performed a task and are now getting paid for it. Sounds like earning to me.

Besides, I always understood tithing to be paid on one's "increase" regardless of source. That said, do people mostly pay on gross earnings or on take-home?

It's left up to the individual and you could argue it either way. If I earn $10/hr, but the fed and state government takes $2, I could certainly say my increase is just $8. In all my years of paying tithing, I've not once had a bishop ask me about gross or net pay. It's always been a simple, do you pay full, part or no tithing. And since the net/gross issue is personal, I won't reveal what method I use.

I think the "earned" word is in there to cover things like gambling winnings. The church has specifically said that it doesn't want members gambling, nor (if I recall correctly) paying tithing on money gained that way. For that matter the word probably also covers inheritances as well.

Wonder if Marriott had to pay tithing on the money he earned from porno rentals in his hotels. Maybe he just put that towards buying naming rights for the BYU school of business.

This season on TAR was a pretty weak season. Didn't like this final leg at all, outside of the light bulb task, didn't really involve a lot of hard work. They typically end with an extremely hard memory task, but just decided to do the stupid skydiving thing.

Was just glad to see Brenchel go down in flames - what an annoying bitch.

I still don't get why people get so butt-hurt over this. There's a saying that I really like. You can live IN the world, but it doesn't mean you have to be a part of it. In other words, you don't have to bubble yourself from all things.

When I was on my mission, there was a stake president. Guess what he did for a living? He sold cigars. Good for him too. It put a roof over his head, and food in his family.

I'm not going to get into this here, but apparently I have had to deal with the only crappy church leadership in the entire world.
