I don’t know of the group you mention, but I’d guess, and it’s only MY opinion, that 99.9% of these lodges, groups, societies, etc, are just like us here on THL; people with a broadly similar outlook on life, discussing things that interest them, pretty harmless in the grand scheme of things.

It's all to do with people views and certain areas of Scotland would be anti Protestant, same as Northern Ireland We used to have sectarianism here in Newcastle back in the 50’s and 60’s. In my own family, who were Irish immigrants, some were Catholic, others became Protestant, but these days most people look at sectarianism as an anachronism that is only seen in places like Glasgow and Northern Ireland. The “new” sectarianism is between Christianity and Islam. Sadly, Christianity is on the decline in the UK and Islam is on the rise. We shouldn’t be worried about the different branches of Christianity, but of the Islamification of our country. Cheers. 6 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mon to f**k chid lad . why would the LOL decide to hold a wreath laying ceremony and parade on Saturday 16th March ? what day is it tomorrow ? I’d imagine there will be some sort of “Stonehaven pubs celebrate st Patrick’s day “ in the local paper this week , to try and glaze the inches from that by hosting a ceremony on that date is spiteful and childish . It’s 2024 ffs 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s 2024 ffs Lot of orange parades on st Patricks day .. St Patrick is celebrated with the early teachings of salvation by faith alone on the island of Ireland .. not the Roman Catholic teachings.
