Every Member a Janitor

Every occupation is respectable and that of janitor is no exception. I did not mean to suggest that cleaning buildings is below me. Reading my post again as well as my name, I can understand how someone might get that impression.
My point was that church members are already squeezed dry by the church and get relatively little in return and that assigning people to clean toilets without even asking if they are available during the week doesn't go over very well, especially when the church brings in so much money, gives so little back, and won't provide an accounting for of its finances.
I admit the name I selected might conjure up some negative stereotypes, but it was selected as a fun play on the motto, "every member a missionary". I like it because it also reflects my disfavor with how members are being treated by the church. Please let me know if the name itself is offensive and I will discontinue its use.
