A woman in my ward growing up told us this story. They were strong members of the church and her husband was looking for work and got a job offer from a large tabacco company. He didn’t feel right about working for the tobacco company and turned it down. I believe they continued to pursue him as an employee and after much fasting and prayer he felt like he was supposed to take the job. He came down with a rare form of cancer and the benefits of that job continued to pay her and the children a severance of some sort so she didn’t work the entire time her children were growing up. They had three young children at the time of his death.

I just write this to say that I don’t think we can ever judge anyone for their profession and I do believe it is between the person and Heavenly Father as to what is right for them and their family.

As for the WoW jobs, Joseph Smith had a Pub in the Manor house in Nauvoo, he seemed to have no problem selling liquor to gentiles. Which had a friend of mine wondering why couldn’t we sell drugs? He was sincere, just ill-informed about actual state and federal law superseding Brother Joseph’s capitalism.

I didn’t read the T&S post, I take it pornographer was included?
