When my father entered the ministry in the ’20s, minimum salary was $300 – per year – plus a pounding or two a year. Pounding is an “in kind” salary of a pound of edibles per family – my mother would tell of her first, finding the kitchen full of live chickens!
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (better known as the Mormons) simply uses envelopes with NCR paper. You put your donation in the envelope, fill out the NCR paper, include one of the pieces so that we know how you want your donation disbursed (general funds, missionary support, welfare assistance, et cetra), and give it to the minister in private. []What you donate is between you and God, with nobody else to see it outside of the clerks who keep the records and make sure the money gets from A to B.

I remember when my Gas and Electric bill was $26 a month. Now it’s ten times that. Could YOU live on what you made twenty years ago?

The way this society runs, you’d think that the immense church receipts were tax-free. Oh, wait a minute…
