Fluffer.

I would like to know what everyone does for a living.

They accept tithing funds for virtually every profession, including working at a casino or bar. I don't know how working at a bar would be any different than owning a hotel that had a bar, or owning a restaurant that served alcohol. What is the difference? I think the church answers that there is no difference and all of those are fine activities for employment.

I'll bet 'fluffer' would get you the big Ex.

I passed on a project today that was going to be used to help promote tobacco use. Fortunately my boss respects that I have a moral reason for doing that. It's a personal thing though.

He will 'respect' you and then take it out of your bonus. Morality has its price.

Not here. Maybe it would in other companies. Even if it did, who cares. Some things are more important than money.

Name 1.

that's kind of a silly question if you think about it. Every day we part with some of our money because we value what it buys for us more than the money itself.
