I don't like when a preacher says, "Turn to your neighbor and say________."

And, why does it have to be in the open? Did not Jesus say something like don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing?
Yes He did but... the book of Acts tell's us that the people brought their money and laid at the apostles feet. That is a fairly public thing. The Annias and Sapphira story tell's us that these things were done openly. I think the point to the "right hand/left hand" story is that we should not do our giving with some sort of pride, to be seen to be giving. Giving in the open, as shown by the account in Acts, if it is done from a pure heart and for the right reason can be edifying to the body. Then if others have a problem with it maybe the Holy Spirit will cut their heart for having evil thoughts of envy and arrogance.
Anyway that is what I think because somehow we have to reconcile both stories unless you think that the early church was in error with the way they did their giving.

Yes!
Definitely one of my 'Churhianity' pet peeves.. I am writing a book on all of these things.

I used to throw water balloons at cars. I hit a cat or two as well.

I have the ability to anger people beyond reason by talking to them. Why God would grant me that as a gift is a tad beyond my reasoning abilities but I used to, and still do to some extent, take great pleasure in using that gift.
Of course that could just be arrogance on my part, but I'd like to think that its not.
