I know l-dsinc does not want tithnig or donations paid if the money comes from gambling, wagering or the like. I do know one person who is a professional gambler, is l-ds and his bishop will not accept tithing from him. Not unless he 'launders' the money somehow with a 'legitimate business' he also owns and funds(at least in part) with the poker winnings. His gambling is poker and he is good and makes a good living from it.
If they know someone makes the money dealing in pornography will they refuse to accept it?
Do they make those who deal in pornography separate out what portion of their income is from 'decent' sources compared to 'indecent' sources and only accept the dollars from the clean living part?

Which, being interpreted, meaneth: 'Yes, they probably did for a long time and the CoJCoLDS must have made a lot of money from tithing drawn from that source. The CoJCoLDS doesn't usually ask hard questions about where money like that comes from. It is now said that the Marriotts are going to stop making money from selling porn, or perhaps have already done so.'
But Joseph should stop asking rhetorical questions like that as a means of raising topics, or Belmont will make him look dumb by saying 'Google it'. That is really hurtful and crushing, and everybody who sees it happen feels bad for the rest of the day.

Oh... Chap's ego.
You travel halfway across the galaxy and it's the same song.

Sure, now that wi-fi is available in the rooms - the "porn box" revenue source is outdated.
