Re: Beer License for Church
Local Catholics are into gambling here. (Bingo)
They also rent their hall for booze parties.

They had all the chairs pulled around the walls and were close up boot scooting... plenty of girls in short shorts and super tight jeans too. I remember when Don and I got married in the Baptist church. We volunteered to mow the grass and were told in no uncertain terms that there would be no short pants on the church grounds... for him or for me 
Guess times are a'changin' |
The fact that they had no qualms about doing this in the very area that had been used as the sanctuary of the Almighty, and their flaunting of their bodies seems to indicate that the salt is rapidly losing its savor. It used to be that even partial Christianity used to be enough cause people to become separated from the world, but now it is showing that it has lost its power to truly change people from their immorality, pride, and public sensuality.

Re: Beer License for Church
Even though it was a few decades ago, I remember my Catholic days well!

RW, I am shocked, but you actually looked fairly good in a habit.

I've lost some weight and had my eyes fixed since then, so I actually look better NOW.
Oh yes, and I rarely drink beer anymore, but when I do, it is Dos Equis.

Re: Beer License for Church
The small Louisiana town my grandmother lived in was heavily RC and had a large RC church and school (considering the town population was about 800). My parents had kept this first little house as a vacation home and it was just up the hill from the RC church.
As a kid when visiting I remember all of the car headlights going up and down the hill on weekend nights to the RC dances, parties, and I assume at times bingo. The next day I would ride my bike down around there and there would be a mountain of beer cans.
They were making a killing at these functions because it was a dry Parish so they were the only spot in the Parish you could legally get beer and drink!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Beer License for Church
There was a Catholic church on Long Island that used to have a huge banner up that said "Las Vegas Night". That used to mess with my mind. Ha!
I guess I'm just old fashioned, but some things still blow me away. Sometimes I see stuff that people wear to church and I am in shock. But they really don't think a thing about it - that's just their everyday clothes.
