Let's say a member of a COG was buying dinner for someone else or for a group of people, and those people order drinks with alcohol. What should he or she do?Let's consider some different scenarios. 1. A COG member's job is to broker million-dollar deals for his company. He takes potential clients or business partners out to dinner with company funds. The client orders one beer. Should he refuse to pay for it?2. COG member is making a business deal for his own sole proprietership or LLC. He takes a big customer out to dinner. Customer orders a beer with his steak and shrimp. Should the COG member pay for the beer?3. Conservative COG fellow meets a Christian girl online who goes to a non-denominational megachurch. He is traditional, opens doors, and pays for meals. He asked her out for dinner, his treat. They go out and she orders a glass of red wine with her filet mignon. Should he refuse to pay for the wine? All those ordering these beverages are over 21.Should the guy stop the people ordering and say he's not paying for drinks

If I was trying to close a million-dollar deal, I would probably buy the guy a couple drinks

There are lots of COG folks who work in restaurants and other establishments that sell alcohol and tobacco. There is no difference. As long as they don't partake, they are not breaking any rules. If they have a personal conviction, so be it.

That is the kicker to all of this. Without getting into a long diatribe about ethics on alcohol.

Why wouldnt he?

Pay the bill, tip and have a good evening. I would hope the Christian is successful and the deal is made. Success on the last one is having a good time and enjoying the company. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
