As many folks pray to God about tithing in the Church and make the decision that tithing for them should be paid on surplus, many of these members worry about the unrighteous judgement of a local leader who sees the surplus tithing as not acceptable.  Today we help you to set up online tithing through bill-pay with your bank so that your tithing numbers remain confidential with local leadership.  There are risks here which we will discuss as well including that Salt Lake will know your paying on surplus and hence your chance of a calling as a Bishop (or female general authority) or higher (callings that require approval from Salt Lake) are slim to none. Why Surplus has a seat at the table Salt Lake Trib conversation of tithing Instructions from modermormonmen PDF of Instructions     The post How to set up tithing so your donations are confidential appeared first on Mormon Discussion by Bill Reel.

As I have attended various firesides and opened myself up to Questions and Answers, what seems to be the most interesting points is the specific ways I reconcile tensions in Mormonism.  Recently in particular a group of folks were deeply intrigued at how I approach a Temple Interview.  That for them there is such a discomfort that they barely can make it through receiving a recommend at the end or simply do not “pass” and are amazed at the fact that at least at present I hold a valid current Temple Recommend.  So today I go through the questions.  Helping listeners to see my approach.  for listeners to see how I define terms and what my thoughts are as I go through the important experience within Mormonism.  I hope this is helpful.  Thanks for listening!
