Lds Tithing Online Transition Causes Confusion For Older Members
Tithing has been known since Old Testament times. As recorded in Genesis 14:17–20, the prophet Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek. For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daySaints, paying tithing and other donations to the Church is a sacred privilege. Learn how LDStithing works, the biblical basis for 10% donations, what the funds support, and why it's required for temple attendance. Contrary to what most members believe, the LDS Church spends an estimated 1% of its annual revenue on charitable activities, while the bulk is consumed by the operation of chapels, temples, salaries and an expanding real estate empire. In order to pay tithing or make a donation online, you must have an LDS account. Then, select "Register as a Member." After you locate the tithing page, select the contribution type (choose Tithing) and the amount you plan to give. Many members use the phrase “LDStithingonline” when searching for these features; confirm you are on the Church’s official portal to avoid third-party services. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daySaints introduced last week an online option for members to pay tithing and contribute other donations. Tithing is a sacred obligation, the Mormon attorneys argued, and as such is off limits under the protections of the First Amendment. It amounts to an intrusion on religious thought. No Wilson, church founder Joseph Smith's Urim and Thummim did not foresee this.
