[QUOTE=hoyacoug]Now that I have your attention, would it be bad to invest all of your tithing money from every paycheck into an ING account or other safe savings account bearing 5% interest or so? You could make quite a bit of money on the interest over the course of a year, withdraw all of the money in December to pay tithing, and then pay tithing on the interest that had accrued.

I suppose the only question would be, does the church need the money immediately or would the money be of more value to the church immediately than it would be to me? I assume the church has hundreds of millions in cash reserves, if not more, and doesn't need my meager contribution right away. Then again, if everyone did it, it could put the church in a crunch.

We only need to account for tithing once a year. Does that mean we only need to pay once a year?"

Personally I pay on every check. I just know from my own personal experience that if I don't pay my tithing in a timely manner that really weird and bad things happen to me. I wish I were making that up, but I just don't mess with tithing karma anymore. I know, sounds strange, but those are my personal experiences.
