I've gotten my answer from local ward members, lds.net members and the Spirit. Basicly the consensus it that 10% of your INCREASE is what is to be tithed. My tithing and fast offerings should be paid in full, for 2009, by February of 2009. I like to pay in advance. I've heard wonderful testmonies regarding tithing. It really does work. Out of all this there is only one downside. I have not had to file in taxes since the 1999 working year. My money towards the church wil never be counted or used as a deductable. The eternal blessings are more important. Thanks for your input.

I once asked a bishop about gross vs. net and before vs. after taxes. He responded, "the church doesn't specify. But as for me, if I'm going to err, I want it to be in the Lord's favor."
Great advice. It's all about faith, isn't it?

And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." -B. Franklin
