I am completely miffed right now. The bishop over the ward that the Brigham residents' go to just brought in a bunch of checks to pay for rent for several residents. This isn't so unusual, as he pays for some every month. But this month, he has checks for a brand new resident that just moved in a few weeks ago!!
I wouldn't be so angry, but my bishop required me to work for 5 hours at the Bishop's Storehouse for a little bit of food. (And let me tell you, I worked HARD! I used my Monday off, because I worked Saturday, to stock shelves for 5 hours in between dropping off and picking up kids from school. It completely sucked!) In fact, I had less then everyone I could see when I checked out. It made me angry!!
The difference with what bishops do to help their wards is astounding. I have been told numerous times by different bishops I have had that the church does not pay rent/mortgage payments. I know for a fact this is wrong. I have known ever since I worked at the storehouse back in 1996. I don't know why they keep saying that, when everyone knows it is not true.
But for a bishop to pay the outrageous price of rent for a member to stay at the Brigham is infuriating! I understand when people fall on hard times, trust me, I do. But when that happens, it is time to buckle down and cut expenses. When your rent for a 2 bedroom apartment (around 980 sq ft) is around $1200 a month, it is time to move!!
It just astounds me that these people get to keep their nice lifestyle while the ward pays their bills. There are at least 2 residents that get their rent paid every single month, and several more that are every other month. I just can't understand it!
Ok. Well, it is time to forget about it and leave it in more capable hands. I just had to vent...Sorry.
