Your comment states: “You overlook important facts: we, the members have not been granted any authority from God to direct our tithe through other channels than the regular. But the leadership have been given full authority over tithe (whether we like it or not).” “…God has given them the authority to collect and distribute tithe.”

Actually, in the epistles after Jesus’ death, the disciples, not being Levitical priests, were not given authority to collect and distribute tithes. They could distribute offerings to the saints and could receive a wage, which Paul declined, but it is eisogesis to say they were given authority to collect and distribute tithe. There is no Biblical support for that.

Is it just my imagination or am I still a member of the Roman church I left 57 years ago? I read and reread the epistles, (after Christ’s death) and even the disciples were not authorized to collect and distribute TITHES. They were not Levitical priests. Offerings, or wages which Paul declined, were authorized, but not tithe. Read for yourself, and please, apply exegesis, not eisegesis.

Is this redistributing tithe with out permission from the donar ? How would this weigh in light of it being redirected by the donor to a place they see to the best of the knowledge as Biblically sound ??? 🧐

Very wrong wrong

Is the conference the only storehouse of God?

Some cases have been kept before me for years, and I have supplied their needs from the tithe, as God has instructed me to do. And if any person shall say to me, Sister White, will you appropriate my tithe where you know it is most needed, I shall say, Yes, I will; and I have done so. I commend those sisters who have placed their tithe where it is most needed to help to do a work that is being left undone; and if this matter is given publicity, it will create a knowledge which would better be left as it is. I do not care to give publicity to this work which the Lord has appointed me to do and others to do. 20LtMs, Lt 267, 1905, par. 5

Félicitations pour votre commentaire si intelligeant.

You’re wrong my friend. You need to quit buying into the myth and read more of the spirit of prophecy on the subject. Here’s one example:
Spalding-Magan Collection, pp421-422–“Do not worry lest some means shall go direct to those who are trying to do missionary work in a quiet and effective way. All the means (“means” in EGW usage was both tithes and offerings) is not to be handled by one agency or organization”
