Is Preparation for disaster still important?

For as long as I can remember it was a tenet of our religion to be prepared to feed our families for an extended time without importing any food into the community. I have heard rumors that all the community food stocks have been moved to YFZ. Can anyone verify this? In light of the recent disasters and the constant terrorist threat that exists I wonder if the "lifting up" and "yearning for Zion" has taken precedence to preparation.

I think the grain silos have been apart of CC as far as I can remember.

There is no way that they would feed the community now.

I had a years supply of food for Y2K. Sure am grateful for it. We would have starved many times over the last three years. Starting over with nothing takes alot of faith and food storage.

And it is written, The Lord God did send forth manna. And feed the people.
And it is written, in the hour that Jesus does return again, you will not have time to find a thing. Oh, ye of little faith. How long would I have gathered you, but you would not. Oh, ye of little faith. Oh ye desenters and fighter's. Do you supose God will gather the fighter's? Oh ye of little faith, how oft would I have gathered you, and you would not.

And rumor has it, starting over is easy if you start over in the LOrd. He has never let an honest person down.

I heard a rumor that the grain bins had been emptied and sent to Texas. Also there was a lot of food storage in a cavern behind U. Freds house. I heard all that was sent south too. I am not in a position to check it out personally. I thought maybe someone from CC could verify it.

What do the grain bins look like?

Are these the same grain bins Uncle Rulon brought with him from Sandy?

And like i said, it is none of your business. You speak like you know what you are taking about, and then you have to rely on gossip to satisfy you. Try this: get a life doing some thing good besides destroying peoples lifes with lies.

Is the community garden still in service? Uncle Joe used to run it under U. Fred. There was a Roundy boy helping too. Is he still around?

If I was satisfied with the "gossip" I wouldn't be asking would I? How is my posting here hurting anyone? Let me know so I can make amends as it has not been my intention to do so.

I did not mean the bins had been moved to YFZ. I only heard the grain had been taken and the bins were empty. The bins in the pictures from Pilot do not look like the bins I saw in CC.

Am I to understand from Anon 5:18 and Street that warren is teaching preparation on a temperal level (food, housing, etc.) is no longer a concern? If so I think it is the result of years of welfare mentality. It also denotes another huge change in the teachings.

The Lord will help those who help themselves. If we have the chance to get prepared and we do not take it, we cannot depend on God to bail us out. In his mercy he may do it for us but we have not bound him to the blessing by doing our part.

Well the Texas Warrenites are storing for the future for sure. Bolts of cloth, mounds of toilet paper and paper towels, large garden and orchard.

Warren is not depending on the goodness of God to protect him, just the many thousand of dollars of goods and people it purchases. Guess Warren sees the dollars as God's blessing. Go figure.

He hasn't heard the message Jesus spoke about the sparrow.

Street when your ol boy Warren gets his Telestial servent job cleaning prison toilets someone will have to get him the sound track to "Wipe Out" to listen to.

On the Street, I am sure the Lord provides for you manna from heaven because you are so righteous.

For the rest of us, we are working our buts off trying to get enough food to eat and gas to get to the next job.

As for gossip, it it what keeps us connected and keeps the checks and balances. WJ greatest weapon is secretcy. And if more people were talking, communicating there would be more problems solved.

So, as long as Street is talking we know that s/he is making progress. Is not starving to death or sleeping in his car.

You are nothing, and yet the lord sacraficed his only beggotten son so that you and I and everyone else, may make into heaven, if we so chose to follow him. For with out him there is no hope. For any of us, and yes that includes Warren too. Something about the transgression of Adam. Which altamatly brought us all here.
