They work their way to heaven so tithing is strictly enforced.
No, it isn't. I'm LDS, and tithing has never once been enforced in any capacity.
What Is Tithing? | ComeUntoChrist - The Church of Jesus Christ of ... https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/article/what-is-tithing
The word tithe means “a tenth part.”. Tithing is a donation, or offering, of one-tenth of your income for the service of God. Since ancient times, God has commanded His people to give one-tenth of all they earn back to Him.
This commandment is still in effect today. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints give one-tenth of their income back to God through His Church.
Congratulations, you've just defined tithing. Now that you've done that, where's the enforcement part? Where's the punishment for not paying tithing?
Tithing is optional; it is in no way enforced, it's entirely voluntary, and there's no form of "punishment" if you don't pay it. If you want to pay tithing, then great! More power to you. If you don't, then still great! No one comes up to you and says "Say, so and so, I've noticed that you haven't been paying your tithing... why not? I expect you to provide full back pay by next Sunday, or else..."
Just what do you think goes on?
