Oh no, not at all....In fact, I think that is the way it should be.. I would find it somewhat hidious if the men on work day all had to sign papers that they would abide by the highest set of standards in the church......hahahaha ...nothing would get done!!!!!

But I don't think anyone cares what kind of rules you abide by if you are just mopping the bathroom floors!

I think that's a problem!

Got a feeling this conversation will go downhill from here. Just for perspective: Would you want to person who cleans your dentists office to also clean your teeth?

If they are capable enough to do both, why not?

Just not at the same time....LOL!

I sure wish churches actually had more folks willing to do both. Sadly, that is rarely the case.

That is soo true brother...I don't mind doing both, nor can I stand the attitude that says, I'm the choir director, I can't do that. Or I sing and play every service, I shouldn't have to do that....I've been on the platform since i was 15 and not once did I feel like I ever earned the right to have that attitude. Now, I must say, that in my church there are more willing to stay behind the scenes then come up front......That can be rough also....
