Ohio,
You are generalizing to divert attention from what happened. You want to make it appear that the Titus Chu proxy elders in Columbus wanted to know who gave what so that those who gave could file their tax returns.
Please.
That is not what we are talking about. Those elders wanted to know who gave what so they could, as in Mansfield, understand who was following their direction in the matter of giving and how they were designating their financial offering. Giving has never been a determinant for fellowship. How much and to what is a private matter between the giver and the Lord. No elder has the right to inspect that.
Since you were a treasurer in the local church do venture to educate us of the wisdom of the financial actions the elders in Columbus took...... assuming you know.
