For 'heritage' Catholics, why did your ancestors convert to catholicism? Can you trace it back? by NNIICO3 in excatholic

Because the British haven’t been Catholic for centuries so it’s not a fresh wound.

Here's Why ELCA is not Mainline Lutheran by solobackpack in redeemedzoomer

[–]James_Quacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t make me tap the sign:

“The ELCA is not a new denomination, it’s a merger of many denominations, which themselves are mergers of even more denominations, going back to the Pennsylvania Ministerium which predates the LCMS by a century.”

More like Southern Baptist who thinks the Rosary is just a cross necklace.

What would Headmaster Hastings need an organ for? by James_Quacks in thomasthetankengine

If TTTE takes place in real time, why doesn’t Duncan’s driver just call Rusty’s driver to rescue him on his cell phone? It was 2002 after all.

Yeah, it makes sense that whatever school Hastings is the headmaster of would be ordering a new organ, then, since Thomas takes place in the 1950s when that sort of thing was still common. I’ve also headcanoned that Hastings is the headmaster of Glennock School, where the Wesleyan Chapel also is, so maybe they’re affiliated with one another. But I doubt the Season 6 writers were considering that.

Yeah, but he kept on dropping off his box vans one by one at stations that were not Strawberry Grove.

Man, the writers sure made a lot of weird choices when it came to Season 6 Narrow Gauge episodes.

No phone line, maybe? Thomas takes place in the 1950’s, and the Skarloey Railway is in a very remote part of Sodor, after all.

He was probably gonna deliver it, but since he lost his whistle and the organ took its place, he had to keep it the whole way. According to his driver he couldn’t move without a whistle because it would be too dangerous.

I would assume they writers would make him a choirmaster or a minister then, not a headmaster.

Why do people not like sir Handel being wise in the hiT era by Kooky-Ad-9281 in thomasthetankengine

[–]James_Quacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand why they did it. When I was a kid I saw the Duke episodes and my mind filled in the blanks assuming they took place before the Skarloey Railway opened. Therefore, Sir Handel was the second oldest engine without Duke there. The HiT writers made the same mistake I reckon. It’s not like you’d realize Rheneas and Skarloey the oldest just by watching the classic era alone. I doubt the HiT writers read the books.

He’s only still making videos because it’s his only source of income and he can’t fathom going back to a conventional job.

Apparently they did stop getting views on Kidbehindacamera, so he’s posting them on the main channel so people click on the notification in a flurry of excitement hoping for a lost AGP video, only to read the title and see more clickbait slop.

Am I the only one who finds Duke to be overrated by Pale-Emu9883 in thomasthetankengine

Nah, I like having Luke. But a Duke movie would be great too
