        Boffo, Mr. Wuapinmon! You are one of the good ones here, mate.

                Rutley the Tory. I read on wikipedia that he served a mission here in the North of England, which I did not know.

I think he agrees with this. If he doesn't, then I guess we disagree. I can live with that. I don't understand all the drama.
                  My quest is finished... I donate all online through bill pay. Fast offering included. A tiny hassle to initiate but well worth it now. The bishop caught me before my daughters baptism in December for tithing settlement. He tried giving me the sob story about how they don't get "credit" for fast offerings. I simply said.
                  "well they have member Id with my donations. If it were really that important they could easily match my member Id with my Ward."
                  We left it at that.

                    Dang! Quest over? It seems like nothing has changed. I liked some version of your original idea. Two years ago the Bishop suggested we start using the online payment system, so I looked into it. It isn't as user friendly as paying my Verizon bill or the girls tuition bills, so I'm still paying via check.

                    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                      yes... its too hard to fight against city hall. The church isn't in the business of making less hassle for their members.

                      • I just set up an online payment and invoice system for a small business that I run with utahby5 (the poster not the site) through paypal in less than 3 minutes. The LDS church thinks that having donations come on line is part of the Devil's plan.

                          I don't get it. Why would you say that?

                            I am not sure if you are being sarcastic or if you don't think I am being sarcastic.

                                Serious question. I set up online payment for my tithing 2-3 years ago and it took about 3 minutes. So I am wondering why you think the church considers it to be the Devil's plan. Or maybe I am missing a joke here somewhere?
