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.ap1054 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 03, 2018 2:25 pm I'd be surprised if it ends up happening. From all I've heard about trying to do any business in Russia, you can't get anything done without "doing as the [Russians] do" and playing the bribery games.
But if the ends justify the means, maybe the leadership would be willing to play those games.
