  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hello my Brothers and Sisters, My Name’s Tommy.

A wee bit about myself:

I was brought up in a very strict Irish catholic family, initially educated in jesuit schools and led a life of crime most of my adult life.
I came to our Lord and Saviour Jesus, The True Christ back in 1984, whilst awaiting trial under the Prevention of Terrorism Act 1974, Breach of the Explosive Substances Act 1884 and Attempted Murder.

The night before I was to be tried, I got down on my knees in a 10ft X 8ft cell and opened my heart to a God I’d never known.
I was told by the legal team that due to all the evidence against me, that I should expect a sentence of Her Majesty’s Pleasure (full life term) if not life imprisonment.
I knew I wouldn’t be able to cope with any sentence like those, so I begged this God, if he was indeed there, if He would help me not to do anything stupid like top myself (suicide).
I knelt there praying (I'd never knelt and seriously prayed for anything in my life!),
and this 'cell' began to warm up and became beautifully light and fresh, not at all like a prison cell!

I was crying like a baby, uncontrollably, it was as if I were 'floating' above the floor of the 'peter'. ( prison cell)

I don’t know exactly how long I knelt there like that, but the next thing I knew a
‘screw’ ( prison guard) opened the door and told me it was time to go.

I knew the ‘screw’ he was a young Welsh guy and used to come into my cell quite often, & talk to me about Jesus quite a bit, so I suspected he was a ‘Bible thumper’ but he was good company and cheery so I put up with him, little did I know he’d been praying for me!

The trial was a farce! The police were all smiling and walking around
keeping an eye on me & gesturing their fingers across their throats.
The trial lasted almost a week before things started to go South!
The Judge, a Lord Cowan, banged his gavel angrily as the Police were
causing a bit of a commotion. He called both QC’s (in a High Court Trial, you must be represented by a Queens Council who mediates between you, your lawyer and the court).

It seems that ALL the evidence against me (Productions) had DISAPPEARED
and as all the testimonies were from police only, and all were basically the same story,
the Judge instructed the jury of these facts, and told them of the doubts this cast on my arrest, and if they took all the facts into their deliberations, to find me not guilty due to the fact that the testimonies seemed to be a collusion between the officers and that there was no evidence against me.

When the jury returned, they did indeed find me not guilty and His Honour the Judge (who I later found out was a Christian himself) apologised for the length of time I had spent in prison and that I was free to go.

I will never forget that night when I got on my knees and talked to a REAL GOD!

I was Baptised in a mountain stream (more of a small river), along with

two of my sons fully immersed, in 1985, Near Wanlockhead, in Lanarkshire, near where the Gold for the Scottish Crown was mined,
and have walked through thick and thin with My Lord at my side since then.


I’ve hunted for years to find true Christian fellowship and was really

disappointed at the dearth of these in Scotland.

I was a mechanical engineer before I retired, so I have a good grounding in advanced mathematics) and how TRUE mathematics

proves our Creator, the Lord God DOES exist!

The Fine Structures Constant for one proves the inevitability of God

for if just one of the variables in the equation are out by 0.0001% everything would fall apart.

Of course there’s much more mathematical & other 'scientific' evidence for God,

(look up Lamanins on the Internet or go here,

)

and it surprises me that some so-called scientists can say they are atheist.

All Praise to God the Father and to His Precious Son my Lord and

Saviour Jesus Christ


ps. I’m now seventy four and no longer a catholic, I'm completely

ostracised by my own family, but part of a much larger and more Loving one. Hehe!!

God bless you and Thanks for reading my story.

Thanks for sharing your testimony. God did the same thing with me in 1980 except there were no courts involved.
I'd love to hear your testimony, I love to hear of other souls being 'rescued' after a life of unbelief.
God Bless you and yous

God Bless You 'Joined2krist' and Thank You for welcoming me.
As I stated in my testimony, 'I was educated by Jesuits and actually sang midnight mass in Latin at age 15. So I'm sure I know how Jesuits work.
I'm ambidextrous thanks to Jesuits, whenever I was spotted writing with my left hand, I was harshly punished, so I learned to use my right hand very quickly!

Welcome Tommy! I am Catholic and saved by His grace :)
I'm curious, I've never heard of a practicing Catholic being 'saved' perhaps I'm picking you up wrong and you mean you were a Catholic, like I once was?

@Tommy OConnor, I am Catholic. I don't understand your question, you don't think Catholics are partakers of God's saving grace?
I would suggest you get hold of Dave Hunt's book "A Woman Rides the Beast" this will really explain things much better than I ever could, Dominus Vobiscum.
