Is paying for something OK on Sabbath if you call it a donation? Some Adventists speak up:

Spencer Spendthrift, ABC Store Personal Shopper

“It all depends. If a legit Adventist recording artist has rocked a Friday night vespers concert and is offering a CD for a $20 donation after the program, that’s 100% OK. A bake sale that same Friday night would be crossing the line.”

“Whether you call it a donation or a payment, you are still exchanging cash on Sabbath and that is not kosher. That is why I take care of all my Sabbath lunch Olive Garden meals with a gift card.”

“Why bother with donations or regular payments on Sabbath when you can make elaborate arrangements to prepay for everything from parking to zoo admissions fees on Friday afternoon?”
