• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

well, even if we arent YET officially in the End Times, War and Natural Disasters can cause the gigantic machine of society to go into disarray. nobody should ever mock a Prepper or anyone considering to be a Prepper, as only God knows what will come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, do not choose not to Prep and then be caught with no Food or Drink until the dust settles.

and personally, China has been itching for a scrap with us in the USA, to which they might use the Strait of Hormuz situation as provocation. i for one definitely would want to be ready to not only help myself, but whoever else may need, in case they get the very same idea.

It really all depends on a person's living situation, from a studio apartment to a rural acreage. Also their ability to prepare and store nourishment. Even if one is capable of stockpiling a years worth of staples there is still no guarantee in desperate times that they will not be overrun or burnt out. One also has to consider their lives without electrical power which shuts down everything in these modern days of total dependency on the system, the biggest mistake humans have allowed. If indeed they are Christian preppers they will understand the necessity to put their trust in God because mankind is totally irresponsible.

As Christians, we know that the world is not going to "end" per se. The age will end, and then Jesus will set things right.
I prep for hard times. War, natural catastrophe, drought, etc. But mostly for economic collapse. That is a virtual sure thing. It is coming, and when it does, you will have to be ready, or as ready as you can be. To date, I'm unclear on how we can preserve our economic survival when the collapse hits. Money (cash) will be worthless. The best I have found is to have your money in land or another commodity that is not susceptible to bank fluctuations. cash, and intangible assets. There is much to be said on this.

Will they take eggs to pay the taxes or simply oust you?

Good question! I suspect a lot of people will be ousted.
A good time for faith.

We've changed our motives about preparing for what we thought would be a disaster, be it government, weather, or a natural disaster. Now we are continuing our providing for the people who are left behind after the rapture. If the rapture doesn't happen and one of the other things take place, then we have that covered. But our main emphasis these days is hoping that a person or persons will break into our house and help themselves. But beyond that the VERY important part of it is the reading materials and videos we have left within easy reach that just might help them overcome the antichrist and the world that they will have to live in until they are martyred for their new-found faith in Christ.

Costco is selling water storage units. I saw it on a facebook reel yesterday. They wouldn't carry it in the store if there wasn't demand and we've seen deals on freeze dried food as well.
