However, besides smoothies and fruit drinks, one of the big drawing points of this cafe is the different types of boba teas that are offered. As a member, I'm just not quite sure what to do in this situation, and was hoping to hear other people's thoughts on the matter. I would not be drinking the tea, but I would be selling it. Thanks in advance for your advice! I would reconsider selling the tea. It is against the Word of Wisdom and the proceeds of selling anything proscribed by Heavenly Father is filthy lucre. Here is a quote from Elder Spencer W. Kimball. Quote Filthy lucre is blood money; that which is obtained through theft and robbery. It is that obtained through gambling or the operation of gambling establishments. Filthy lucre is that had through sin or sinful operations and that which comes from the handling of liquor, beer, narcotics and those other many things which are displeasing in the sight of the Lord. Filthy lucre is that money which comes from bribery, and from exploitation. Compromise money is filthy, graft money is unclean, profits and commissions derived from the sale of worthless stocks are contaminated as is the money derived from other deceptions, excessive charges, oppression to the poor and compensation which is not fully earned. I feel strongly that men who accept wages or salary and do not give commensurate time, energy, devotion, and service are receiving money that is not clean. Certainly those who deal in the forbidden are recipients of filthy lucre. Elder Spencer W. Kimball CR, Oct 1953, p 52 Would you sell pornography or drugs from your shop even if you don't use that stuff yourself? Just because you do no consume the tea does not make it right to sell it.
