But if the ends justify the means, maybe the leadership would be willing to play those games.
I believe that while on my mission in the Philippines around 40 years ago, I heard guys from the mission office mention paying gratuities to public officials for things like visa extensions and various permits. They were a normal part of doing business. So playing those games is probably not new to the church.
