Sad but it's a numbers game for most religions these days. Without tithing they have to rely on the generosity of their congregations to pay the bills and the clergy who are full time and paid. If they don't get the bodies in the seats then they don't even have the potential to get the offering plate filled. Mistakenly, though they think that people are looking for looser rules in their religion which many do. But many, many people are also looking for real morals and a firm foundation to counteract the changing tides and currents of the world. People are looking for places with strong morals to raise families. You will see more and more religions giving up their core beliefs in order to appease the world as we get closer to the second coming. I am very thankful that the True Church will not be one of those.
