The country is a mess. The state you live in is a mess. The county you live in is a mess. The city you live in is a mess. But what have you performed to prepare for disaster from any force whether manmade or natural?

Have you electrical power? Solar/NaturalGas/Propane/Gasoline Generator(s) to generate electricity for your various needs? Water? Food? Shelter? How about a library whether hardcover/paperback/electronic? What about personal defense?

The goal of this thread is to describe your ideas to become self-sufficient within reasonable personal means, independent of the messes that most know pre-exisit in an arbitrary world.

Make a comment about what you have performed and/or plan to do.

What do you learn based on your many fruitless hours devouring selected topics on TV? How to pray? How to smell nice? How the weather is forecasted when all you have to do is stich your head out the door and treat yourself to the actual environment?

Planning is everything. And watching TV is not planning; the act is a vegetising experience for the almost brain-dead; watching National Geographic and catching a glimpse of the latest infomercial is hardly worthy of one's time; this is true of my time.

OK ... so you don't run your rosary between your fingers; what other Christian amulet do you use?

Guns, ammo, food, battery operated emergency gear, 12 baseball bats with 5 wood which can be converted to mace configuration with some nails. One neighbor has a generator and another sandbags and concertina wire. Fishing and archery gear, tents and various camping gear. Oh and a hose to siphon gas or diesel. Also a champion Labrador retriever to assist in all outdoors affairs.

Do you deny that our people in large are going poorer educationally?

Here is my comment: "We are smarter, better fed, more pampered, relaxed and happy!"

I contend that we are, as a society, absolutely smarter.

I will concede that our public education system is failing a significant percentage of our young students, and I also concede that there is a very visible segment of our population that chooses to be ignorant.

Let me make a similar comment and tell me if it is racist.

Since affirmative action. Blacks have been given jobs that they never could have had before. Because whites are smarter.

I'm just playing devils advocate.

Blacks actually achieve better in sports such as basketball then whites do. I acknowledge that. But Whites tend to do better in getting an education.

Would you say that is genetic, coincidence or what?

This is good news for us, Donnie; I am confident that only you shall take your own recommendation as the gosple truth. However, since most of us are mere mortals and live in reality where history has proven that there are plenty of reasons about intelligently preparing for disasters, I am confused about your significant contribution to the thread.

What do you do when Lex Luther shows up? Show him your comick book or your Bible?

Seek penance for your personal sins, Donnie. Be humble and grovel at the feet of your Sunday school teacher's feet for forgiveness; and don't forget to drop a buck into the offering tray thus providing you relief to your guilt and forever damnation. But, whatever you do, don't intelligently plan ... oh no, here is where you have to consult your Bible for some obscure passage that might be quickly interpreted by your Sunday school teacher as applicable for your neglect for family, friends and business.

Au contraire, mon ami. I plan all the time. When things are planned out to my satisfaction, I stop worrying about it. So far my planning has been spot on. I first trust in God to take care of me as He has promised to do. Then, I use common sense to do what I should. It has worked out so far. It has gotten me to my current age of 68, through 25 years in the military including a tour of duty in Vietnam, etc etc. I know that God is looking out for me and when I die, I know where I am going.

So, tell us about your planning.

Impossible. My family and I shall be enjoying clear, sub-micron filtered, sparkling water with all kinds of added coffees, teas, milks, mochas and so forth, along with diversified 2K calorie freeze dried foods that allow a mere PRESTO! for preparation for some of the finest gourmet foods on the planet.

But you won't have any access to any of this stuff because of your choice about lack of planning. Nope. You have your comick books as your guide.

I can understand your thinking. You don't know anything about Him. He takes care of His people. He does allow the rain to fall and the sun to shine on the saved and unsaved; however, the bottom line is those who reject Him can easily get ignored when push comes to shove.

What happened to beef and veggies in your "plan".

I didn't mention any specific food group other than a general way to ensure that you understood a 20+ year storage life capability for food: freeze dried method of food storage - this method applies to all organic or carbon based natural compounds both plant and animal; simply stated, the approach removes water for storage purposes within a vacuum chamber and when properly stored/packaged/handled, little loss of food content is achieved. Restoring a product is adding water, which I also mentioned as being pure sparlking water (slight alkaline content). Here is the brief content I suggested in the earlier post:

Do I have to indicate all the food groups based on your omissions? If so, you need more than a brief post about being intelligently prepared for a disaster through planning - you need a complete education.

You don't know anything about Him.

Whom is "Him?" Where is "Him?" Are you talking about the "Great Pumpkin" that shall sprinkle all the good little boyz/girlz from the sky all the candy they want to have? Hmmm.

He takes care of His people.

"He" takes care of "His people?" Does "his people" have a pumpkin head like "he" does?

the bottom line is those who reject Him can easily get ignored when push comes to shove.

Prove it. Why do you limit your discussion to: those who reject "Him?" Don't you see a logical error in what you are suggesting? You have no more knowledge about God's actual sex than amoeba or even a rock buried under whale shit in the deepest part of the oceans on the planet.

I admit my ignorance, too. That is the reason for my perspective about a divine creator being a mystery; you, me nor anyone that has, is or shall walk this planet can not know ANYTHING about a divine creator. Moreover, your point is pointless directed towards me as it reflects your own tired ol'tyme religious zeal borrowed from some Sunday school teacher robbing you of your hard earned cash as though it was a "tithe in the name of Jesus." You have been swindled, pal.

Sorry, I mean no disrespect to you or anyone but you need to wake the fuck up and shake off this "Him" stuff that you have copied from some two-bit Sunday school teacher that also works as a snake oil salesman from Monday to Saturday. You expose yourself as a fool.

There is only one name under Heaven by which you may be saved: Jesus Christ. If you want the reference in the Scriptures for that, let me know.

OH horseshit! You don't know that anymore than your made-up God or "Him" or "Christian" religion that has intentionally murdered millions of People on the planet in some disgusting theocratic ritual that is later forgotten in the cobwebs of history.

Hi Don - this thread is intended to discuss being prepared for disaster; there was no other intent other than at the top of the thread which has not been edited or changed or modified in any way.

This thread is NOT intended to be about about your "God" or "Him" or some make-believe religious study based or any religious doctrine pulled out of someone's ass in the past just because you believe in some form of ... ol'tyme religious tooth-faerie making you feel good and beam like a cock in the morning.

If anyone has been an authoritative jack-ass, it has been YOU. So far, all you have provided to the thread are off-topic commentaries about some Christian belief that measures up to your Sunday school teacher's pathetic rendering about the Bible. Also, you have posted dissent about having general and reasonable personal plans for having good drinkable, water and freeze-dried foods. You should feel embarrassed or have a sense of shame about how you have made this thread so important to YOU.

You require a historical education about religions of the world. But I am not going to provide that education to you. I suppose you can expect increasing condenscending remarcks from now and 'til your Jesus takes you upto the sky to play a harp and lay on a cloud.
