A Theoretical Situation

[tyellas]

Let us say that, hypothetically, you do some freelance work on the side. A pleased client has recommended you to a professional associate who needs some of the same work done. The professional associate is a member of a religious group/quasi-cult you find distasteful and unethical. However, it is likely that you can do this work without meeting the religious-group-member client in person. Working for this client is likely to generate a lot more work with this client.

It depends on how much you need the money. I've done jobs that I disliked for ethical/moral reasons and I wasn't precisely happy with the arrangement. But in some situations beggars can't be choosers.

If you have the luxury to choose, and you know that this is something that might wake you up at inopportune moments in the small hours of morning in years to come, decline the job, maybe with a small white lie that you're already too busy with other stuff.
