Probably something like, "Last week, I mailed 250 booklets to would-be apostates. I know they will listen to the wise counsel of their inspired bishops. I know this church is true."
As you know, as a senior couple, we work at the COB. Although we'd like to tell you what we do, we can't. The church attorneys made us sign a Non Disclosure Agreement. And, if we break that agreement the church can take everything away from us including our home. It's kind of like the NDA that an apostle signs when he is ordained to the quorum of twelve. We just ... (sigh, sniffle, wiping a tear away) ... love this church.

Are you asking what currency employees who work for the LDS Church are paid? They are paid in the currency of their country, of course. Having been an employee for the LDS Church, I know from experience, that the pay scale was a bit low. Sometimes, employees talked about the blessings of working for the LDS Church. Employees are typically true believers, hold a temple recommend and pay a full tithe, of course. These are most often, very dedicated people.
What I have found is that people are pretty much the same everywhere. Anything one human being can do, so can another. They have the same personality types, just the faces change! There are work place fanatics, givers, takers, cheats, slackers, gossips, whiners, liars, always happy and helpful, kind, nasty, brown nosers, and so on.
I found the same in situation working for the LDS Church.:-)
People, doing what people do! :-)

Most likely, they'd be earning at least 1 senum/senine, if wages had kept up with inflation over the last few decades.
I don't want to bring politics into this, but if the COB employees could have unionized, they probably could be retiring with a portfolio rich in onti and ezrom, for what it's worth.
A liahona, eh? You're saying that to stay true to the faith after opening resignation after resignation would require some brassy balls? I can see that.
That may be one position they outsource to someone of a different faith.
Hire some clerks of different religions and it would be the same as any other paper pushing job.
A good investment, as the job would be high turnover among member missionaries, with the real possibility of burnout/resigning the church in the process. Every 10 tithers thatleave the church would alone pay for an outsiders wages.
There is also the possibilty in the case of senior missionaries of work discontent hampering and obstructing the sales pitch to hand over their estates.
The only necessity would be to quietly pay an outsider 10% less to cover tithing loss, and make his office in the COB, to simply be a mail pickup location. The actual work should be done off property to avoid prying eyes of employees who may want to know too much information regarding the quitters.
Are MLMs public companies? I'm guessing they're not, being Ponzi schemes and whatnot. I wonder if the SEC would be all up in their ish if they're public.
