Tithes goes to the pastor:


:''Well now, here—here’s a touchy little thing for the church now. No, '''correctly tithes is to go to the minister.''' That’s right! In the Bible they had a box they’d set at the door in the Old Testament when the—building. This box was a fund where the people put in there for the repairing…You’ve read it many times in the Old Testament. They kept up the buildings and things like that… All the repairs on the building was taken care out of that fund. But a tenth of that went—a tenth of the tithings—all the tithings went to their priests, their pastors. Yes, tithings are to go for nothing else.<ref>William Branham, 61-1015M - Questions And Answers, para. 176</ref>
