Sorrow indeed, dear Helen. I know that was your birthplace and homeland for a long time. The good part is that you have a better promise than anything that the UK or Canada or the USA could or would ever be able to provide!
It is very significant that while the Muslims and Hindus are becoming more and more militant about their false religions, the Western nations are rejecting the Bible, Christian values, and the light they once had. Which means that the accountability and punishment of those who rejected the truth will be greater in Hell. This is also what Jesus told the unbelieving cities of His time. As compared to Sodom and Gomorrah their judgment would be more severe.I did not read the whole article, in brief the first two paragraphs was sufficient enough to get the gist of the prophecy being fulfilled; that in the last days evil will be considered good, and good will be considered evil!!!!!
And some on here still live in the UK , still see many coming to know Christ , can still see bibles in the workplace, still have church services in the work place , can still speak openly about their faith.Sorrow indeed, dear Helen.

Yes our country has changed, so has the rest of the world. It doesnt mean it's all doom and gloom over here.
Just to get a bit of balance.

Even so sister! The same is the case here in my country. I can remember good times, but I was one of the protected/shielded ones in those earlier days. I see better now, and sometimes what I see makes me want to close my eyes, but I cannot. With Jesus we can weep and carry on...And some on here still live in the UK , still see many coming to know Christ , can still see bibles in the workplace, still have church services in the work place , can still speak openly about their faith.

Time also is the Lord's! How much do each of us personally have... without regard to what may or not sooner or later happen to this world around us:Very true ( and @amadeus too )
The door is not quite shut all the way yet, I believe God is holding back the tide I am sure ...in all our countries... By Grace!! ✟
I remember way back in the sixties we had a monthly magazine called -
"The Midnight Cry"...( which is why nothing is a surprise to me...I read it all back then...) On the front it had a clock face and showed it as two mins to midnight...and here we are 40+ years later and still not quite there yet :)
As it says 'a day with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day...' Who know how long a minute is with God :)
One day , we know He will tell His angles to announce "Time No Longer" Rev 10:6
Until then, we keep on keeping on... :)
The process is slow everywhere, whatever the process is. It is I think rare that one single short duration event makes that much immediate difference. In the words of Solomon:Yes, it hasn't hit my life in a personal life either, but sometimes I wonder what perception people have of the UK - if its based on only the negatives that are posted , then the wrong perception could be seen.My sons friends in the US believe we are under Sharia law because we have a Muslim mayor in London !
⁹The process is slow everywhere, whatever the process is. It is I think rare that one single short duration event makes that much immediate difference. In the words of Solomon:
"Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes." Song of Solomon 2:15
Having said this, you can remember as I can remember how things were when we young and how they are now in our respective homelands. Things certainly have changed. Have they changed more for the good or for the bad? I guess it would depend on one's definition of good and bad.

Yes, certainly things have changed, but in our history we also have the dark ages, which were pretty awful compared to a few generations ago.
We didn't always have freedom of speech ect
I have always been grateful that I grew up when I did, where I did !
