Some people pay for blessings and others get them for free. Anyway, if someone approaches you with a mess of pottage and a desires to speak with you about your birthright, run the other way.

You pay on your increase. You should have already paid tithes on the $9000, and so the $6000 you received would not be an increase. No tithing necessary.

Do whats in your heart. But I keep it simple. I pay 10% of my pay check. And of course I pay God before I pay the government. even though I have no choice in paying the government which is why I consider taxes Socialized Thievery. But dont get me started.

It's not an increase to you. If you sold it for 10k, then I would tith on the extra one thousand. As has been said, tithing is a personal thing, but that is the exact scenario that my bishop used when describing what an increase would be (your situation not being an increase.)

Pam is correct. There is no back tithing owed. There may be a time of faithful paying required before new temple recommend is issued.

I think it is a personal decision. The commandment is 10% of your increase and I think that would be up to you to decide what your increase is. Whenever I have asked specifics to my Bishop I get the same answer that I need to decide for myself what my increase is. So. I guess I am a bit surprised your Bishop was that specific with you. But I think you made a wise decision in paying. You will be blessed for it. I figure for myself if I have to ask, I should probably pay,
