Hi, I've been a member here for 5 years and never once posted. I just found my account after searching Christian forums and I was an active member on another forum but sadly had to leave due to some sad event and it left me faithless in God . I am looking to boost my faith again because I know He Exists, I guess I just felt He was not active in my life (I felt like He was an outsider so to speak) and after I got a few bad knocks and into some rough patches, I thought He was punishing me so and hopefully I will find faith again through you all who are also faithful and encouraging.

Grace and Peace to you all.

Hi, welcome. Hope you enjoy the forum.

What part of the UK are you in? I used to watch Escape to the Country until it was taken off TV here (Los Angeles). At least it's still on YouTube.

There is a Scripture that lets us know that God is never the one responsible for our troubles.
James 1:13-15…
”When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone. 14  But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn sin, when it has been carried out, brings forth death.”

There is this false idea that God punishes us for being Adam’s children…..just being born with the defects of sin that he left us is enough….God doesn’t need to add to them. Our own conduct can lead to bad outcomes and sometimes the outcome of the mistakes we make can be permanent…..not fixable in this world.

But there is a better one coming where all our problems will be things of the past……and all can access the “narrow gate” but it leads to a cramped road (Matt 7:13-14) with God guiding us all the way back to paradise, which is where he put us in the first place.
It is cramped because God has standards that he enforces on his free willed children……free will when used on God’s terms, leads to many blessings….but used on human terms, leads to disaster.

Welcome back, we hope you can restore your faith from whatever it was that shattered it….

Hi, thanks for answering my question.

Make sure you check out the conditions before visiting San Francisco. Sorry to say but that city declined very badly....lots of homeless and trash. Businesses moved away because of that.

Hey, have you had or heard of Billy Moore visiting Birmingham, ...he’s certainly been there...I’ve just started watching his YouTube channel.

He is a recovering drug addict, he walks around different cities, capturing on camera the most deprived and run down parts of each city...he also talks to many homeless and drug users, plus prostitution....bringing awareness of what the News on TV seldom show.


Moore in 2021

Contents​

Early life​

edit
Moore grew up in poverty on a council estate in Liverpool.[3] He explains in his memoir A Prayer Before Dawn (2011) that he often felt isolated,[4] being told he was worthless by his "alcoholic father".[5] He began to fall into a life of crime by age 16, stealing cars,[6]committing burglaries and getting involved in drugs.[7]

Life in Thailand​

edit
After getting clean with the help of a rehab programme, Moore took a trip to Thailand as a means to turn his life around, hoping to give up drugs, alcohol and burglary, and start fresh as a boxer and stunt man. He arrived in Thailand in 2005 and taught English there. While he was clean, he even worked as a stunt double for Sylvester Stallone on Rambo IV. It was when he got back into fighting there that he became involved with drugs and crime. He had started to train in Muay Thai boxing, the country's national sport. "I got involved with underground fighting and found bad company again." He became addicted to crystal meth and ya ba (a highly addictive methamphetamine).[8]

After being convicted of a drug-related offense, he was imprisoned in Chiang Mai Central Prison and later transferred to the notorious Klong Prem Central Prison in Bangkok. He received a 3-year sentence. On his first night in prison he was placed in a cell with a dead body.[9] He became involved with the prison's Muay Thai training team as a way to escape the gang violence of the prison. Moore is quoted as saying "It became like family orientated, and he invited me into their gym, took care of me, sat with me, broke bread with me".[10]

I grew up in Eccles and now live in Bolton.
Never been to Eccles... but Eccles cakes rings a bell. I loved the currants in them they were sooo good!

I used to love shopping in Bolton. My father used to go shooting in Bolton on a farm when I was a young girl, we had rabbit pie on Sundays.

It was disgusting... I prefer home made cheese and onion pie. ...Lancs style..cant seem to get it anywhere as good these days..☹️
