[Mammoths]

Wouldn’t that still be a requirement? Just that it is not verified that’s all. Just because we are not audited by the IRS, who takes our signed tax returns as honestly compiled, doesn’t mean that it is not a requirement.

The question should be what happens if the bishop has reason to doubt someone’s honesty. Would the Temple then investigate to the extent possible (bearing in mind they would not have the legal means to performa full audit)? Would any action be taken?

If the answer is ‘yes’, then it is a requirement.

Even if the bishop won’t audit it’s still a requirement. Ten percent is a requirement in the AOG. nobody audits but the preach it as mandatory God knows and judges. Will the pastor be forgiving? Yes, but he will still tellyouGod requires it.

Also what if the LDS member states he isn’t tithing 10%? My guess the temple recommend would be denied.
