I don't know that I'd give the full 10%, but I'd like to get into a better habit of giving at least something each week. I agree with @tinyperson: and @cyndistar3: we give as we feel led. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533306 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 22:49:34 +0000 Glitter 1533306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we do. More than 10%. We also donate to charities linked to gospel outreach monthly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533304 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 22:44:07 +0000 yerpie110 1533304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we tithe to our church and make regular contributions to charities and organizations that are significant to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533300 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 22:39:37 +0000 mamimami 1533300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I give 10% of my take home pay although this is the one area of finances where my husband and I are not totally unified. He is not a believer and doesn't tithe but he supports me tithing. We also help the church in other areas but for me the financial part is really important. I've done it since I started making any money which has kind of taken the sting away.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533290 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 22:29:43 +0000 MaisyMay 1533290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do 10% of our take home pay to our little church. We also help out, DH with the power points and on the church board, me in the nursery and with women's ministries. It's important to us to give back, and we want LO to see the importance when she is older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533289 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 22:27:44 +0000 Mae 1533289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. And I don't think I ever would because I'm not a fan of any organized religion. But I'd like if we gave more regularly (and more period) to a charity we believed in. We do give some, but not nearly enough and not a set % on a regular basis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533288 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 22:24:53 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1533288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we do.</p> <p>@Mrs. Lion: well said </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533273 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:57:36 +0000 Grace 1533273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: I've heard a suggestion that 2% go to the parish, 3% to the diocese and 5% to other charities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533130 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:39:31 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1533130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: It was so so hard at first...but it has been so worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533119 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:30:32 +0000 Boheme 1533119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Well said :) I believe the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533107 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:26:25 +0000 snowjewelz 1533107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do. It took me a long time to let go of the mentality that it's MY money and willingly, every month, give back to God no matter what financial situation we are in. I really believe the act of surrendering and trusting really helped with my faith, and I know that God will provide me with everything I need! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533105 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:26:18 +0000 Arden 1533105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We give 10% to charity, usually something that affects children. It's very important to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533094 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:18:12 +0000 swedishfish 1533094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: I haven't either.

It's not typical for Catholics to tithe, right? My friend is dating a guy who does and we'd never heard of anyone doing it before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533031 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 19:43:49 +0000 regberadaisy 1533031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: ah, thanks. +1 to your response.</p> <p>And that would be a solid no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533027 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 19:40:24 +0000 chopsuey 1533027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, we do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533026 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 19:39:55 +0000 swedishfish 1533026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: giving part of your income to your religious institution. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533021 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 19:38:14 +0000 regberadaisy 1533021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: what's tithe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1533017 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 19:37:05 +0000 swedishfish 1533017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no, the Catholic Church is not getting 10% of my hard earned salary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1532947 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 19:03:45 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1532947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1532943 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 19:02:16 +0000 Weagle 1532943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do. </p> <p>@dc yoga bee: What kind if church are y'all looking for?

DH was turned off something kind of major :( Hopefully, it will be something we do regularly, but for now we give monetary amounts regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe#post-1532762 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 17:11:36 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1532762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we do.
