Prepping to go without... conversation, internet, phone etc?

With the constant increase in conservatives being censored... along with the NWO goals of shutting down worship services, Bible studies, prayer groups, boycotts even in the USA , you name it...

How are you preparing for NOT having outside communication... and if you live alone... for NO conversations with humans at all?

Being introverted, it will be like a breath of fresh air.

But seriously, we will communicate by old-fashioned sneakernet, with couriers carrying messages back and forth. In a surveillance state it will be tricky, but with cleverness, situational awareness, and the ability to encrypt, if done very carefully with PGP (Did I say very carefully? It's still maybe the best although there are a dozen ways to use it wrong and get hacked with it. As I'm not yet finished with my Symphonic Symbol Encryption method just yet.) I think meaningful communication will endure.

We already have fake news. We already have censorship. We already have the surveillance state. The day is not too far off.

One of our main product lines as a Christian publisher is large print Bibles, Study Aids, and Classic books. I have a plan to start printing very small Bibles... mainly New Testaments. We are somewhat limited by size of the book we can print. We are looking for ways to print Bibles small enough to hide or masquerade as some other object.

There are nanoBibles.... fashioned in wearable necklaces. I recall a small cross as a child, with a hole/lens to look into it and there was the Lord's prayer inside! Such as: https://www.jerusalemnanobible.com/old-hebrew-bible/

Here's an excerpt "Bible" https://www.christianbook.com/smallest-bible-keychain-black/pd/52901X?en=google&event=SHOP&kw=gift-and-home-0-20|52901X&p=1179710&dv=c&gclid=CjwKCAjw8O7bBRB0EiwAfbrThz_D7hBM54OoDPzJ7StlnF72YfxmtP1U27J1ZL0a5ujL-BGireFUjRoCdjsQAvD_BwE


I have the entire Bible on CD, and another set of CDs of the dramatized NT. I want them on a flashdrive/hotstick, and smaller! :D
Maybe something playable on Mp3 because you can even drive that with a vehicle connection, not needing a computer or CD player.

I have a small ESV about the same size at the tiny Gideons ones. It has the NT, Psalms and Proverbs. Published by Crossway. I guess it looks a bit like an address book. It is black. I ordered it through Amazon.

I personally don't believe I will still be here when the mass confiscation occurs.... but for those sticking around then, I'm sure they will know what to look for at the time... just like those fake dictionary safes :)

I posted in the current events how a bill might make it illegal to sell Bibles in California. It's coming.

So much of what I want to learn is 'still' on the internet. I have boxes of books I want to read, in the storage room, but some of that info won't be relevant by the time I get around to reading. I forget if I kept or gave away all the herb, plant medicine etc books, or if I stored them.

I only have a small book on pet first aid... relying upon the internet for quick info. :(

I am wondering if I could go say, a week, without researching something on the internet.

Oh my... so glad I won't be around for the full force of one world order...but since all our banking is online... as soon as you access your money they will have tracked you... but not going to put my money under a mattress ;)

I thought I would bump this up and add to it ;)

I thought I was prepared to go without... until it all shut down for several hours. I am aware that this was a planned "test" of ...well of just what I'm unsure.

When it "all" shut down... this was my Comcast internet (and cable for about 30 minutes only), Twitter.. and from I hear FB and another was also down.

I still had some things I wanted to access! I do my banking online... and ok, if I'm up on my bill paying and not putting it off, nothing late ever mind you, just waiting to get it done even though the money is already deposited. But what IF I didn't do it immediately ... and everything went "down" for say... TEN WHOLE DAYS???? 10 days without internet, without phone twitter.. and those who use other means of communication... or maybe even PHONE service??? (Except 9-1-1 which is required to always be active, even on old phones that don't work otherwise)... IDK...what if the networks that stores use for credit card payments/charges stopped too? Do I have enough cash, or even a bank check, on hand?

No, I wasn't ready for all that. No, the world wouldn't end for me if that occurs...not for 10 days... but I sure would be kickin myself I think.
