It works like gangbusters when you pay your tithe in peanut butter.

To me, I think this is wrong, but he seems to be in agreement with this practice and feels that it is okay to put people in front of a panel of five people to discuss why they are not doing certain things. He claims sons and daughters are obedient. They even find scripture that calls you a bastard if you don't receive this correction from them.
How do you all feel about this?

I think it's insane, if anyone allows such doing in their life is stupid!

Notice I did not say a group of elders could do what this thread advocates ,but if a group of ministers are working as a plurality of Elders in a church why couldn't they in love sit down and reason with church members that might have gotten off track in their spiritual condition ?
