In testimony meeting recently someone told the story of a member of the stake who had lost his job: "I'm not going to say his name, but many of you may know who he is because he was a VP for a large company downtown." Ok, now everyone knows who it is because it's a small town.
So this guy lost his job and was so ashamed that he decided to not tell his wife, and continued to get up everyday and act as though he was going to work. Then in a job interview someone recognized him as a member of the stake and contacted the stake president, who told his bishop, and the "ward family" got involved who told his wife.
Bottom line: the ward family helped him find another job and "how wonderful it is when the ward gets involved to help someone like this."
Really? Did anyone stop to think "This guy has decided to keep this a secret from everyone including his wife. Perhaps I shouldn't go telling the bishop and everyone else."
