Welsh Church weeks schedule in 1905

..... Or preach services on Monday! But that was their community & their family amongst the Non Conformist churches of the day.

 

No, trying to track this side is difficult given their very common last names (Davis, Jones, Lewis, Hughes etc) & what was their 1st names.....John, Jack, Roy, Arthur etc. Like I said, hard to track.

now important to note.....these churches in PA still teach the Welsh Language.:smilewinkgrin:

 

These folks were anything but Catholic & anyone of them would know more scripture that you would ever have dreamed possible. Again these folks were Non conformists. My Great, Great Grandfather was both an iterent preacher & a full time coal miner. He would walk from church to church in the poor coal mining country to bring the gospel in both English & Welsh. If you called him or any of them Catholic, they would have quite a laugh at you obvious foolishness.

 

Thats right & I dont want to know. All I do know about you is distasteful.

And yes I warned you about people who in the past have mouthed off about their Catholicism & have been banned so you could control yourself & not be banned.....but apparently you have no ability to control your mouth via your lack of self control displayed here. So eventually & quite naturally it will happen....give it time.

At least show some class as Thinking Stuff has done & learn from his example.

 

So why dont you declare what you are then?!?

Lastly, your commentaries have nothing to do with the OP....rather they are there to pick a fight ....not in accord with Board Rules.....so keep it up!

 

Stop your pious phony baloney/cry baby act......Ive read your past posts & spoken to you privately. All anyone here need do is go into your most recent commentary about Catholicism. Your fooling no one

also you came in this OP on the attack....... Thats clear by your most recent commentary. All the evidence is right there so just go away & try hard to pull that bug out of your .... :smilewinkgrin:

 

Allright.....lets play this out WHY are you looking at the Catholic Church?

 

Better you should start another thread if you want to discuss your looking at RCC.

 

Yes I really need to read some historical books on it but that takes both time & money that I cant invest in right now. My GG Grandfather would probably laugh at that woosey answer ....he put in 12 hr days in the mine 6 days a week & found time to do his church bit all Sunday..... God bless them!!!
