Ever since I was young timer, the state paper would show folk what said No Report. An through the years I noticed it was typically the same churches an preachers.I don't know, boys, I just simply don't understand it. It takes me less than 5 minutes to report online. Except in cases of emergency (death/crisis/etc.), or an occasional fergittin, hey, they just aint no good reason fer consistently bein late.

I'm with you 100% OT. If you can be 5 minutes late every week then you can be 5 minutes early every week.Our finance officer is consistently late with EVERYTHING. I have talked to him about it , humiliated him about it , made fun of him about it and nothing works.I have even asked him how can he hold a secular job with his punctuality problem.

CRAZY!I reckon the ones with 'No Report' don't worry about it. There are times I wish I was not so time conscience. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]://shipslog-jack.blogspot.com/

My assumption is that after paying the mortgage, utilities, and other expenses, that they are not able to come up with the required percentages. Of course, those who view the International/State offices as the right arm of God will say that the COG tithe check is the first one to write and then pay the mortgage and utilities with what's left.

franchise fees ?

Re: franchise fees ?

That's basically what it is. The church where I'm a pastor receives no real benefit from the organization other than the privilege of carrying the COG name and flying the logo. And I'm not really sure there's any real value in that either if I'm being honest. I know that sounds terribly cynical but that's just my experience. I do not view our church's relationship with the COG as being
