The Baptists faith has grown a lot in the past twenty years with the exodus from the Catholic and Anglican faiths.There has been a parallel deterioration in our education system. Are the two related? I know that there are some schools run by Baptists but thier curricla is suspect, I heard and the teachers are not very good. More can be done. They need to build more schools and hospitals and back up our institutions. If a campaign was started in this vein I am sure that even though tithing is probably a scam, most people would donate to such an effort because it will benefit the Country in general as opposed to just the members of a particular church (personal cars, homes etc. by one particulsr church).
