That's right. I had a one on one with Monson back in 1971, shortly before I was to leave the mission field in Germany. I wondered what missionary advice he'd give me, knowing I'd be out of there in a few weeks. The only thing I can distinctly remember from the interview was his push for me to pay tithing. I had no income, but that didn't matter. He said I'd never go inactive if I always paid tithing. Like a sap I believed him for too many years, until I wised up and saw it for what it was, a grab for cash. A lot of the RM's from there became doctors, lawyers, and he knew where the church's bread was buttered.
