Developers say they'll have enough food, water and electricity to live off the grid for a year

There's a group of North Texans preparing for impending doom. But they're not just stockpiling guns and provisions.

They'll have underground bunkers, tunnels and even a DNA vault.

Make no mistake, they plan to live in luxury and style.

underway on a unique new neighborhood called Trident Lakes.

Over the next few years, fields of grass will conceal 400 underground bunkers, a tunnel system and even a vault to store DNA.

It's all part of a plan to prepare for any impending doomsday.

"You get life assurances for when stuff really gets bad, but while you're at it you live in a five-star resort waiting for that doomsday," said Trident Lakes spokesman Richie Whitt.

Developers are sparing no expense.

The plan includes three white sand lagoons, a gun range, golf course and a polo field. There will be a massive, solid-marble fountain at the entrance that rivals any in Las Vegas, according to Whitt.

"It'll be one of the largest water features in the world when it's done," he said.

Reaction to the development has been mixed, Whitt said.

People think "probably that it's another one of those doomsday cults that are stocking cans and burying their money out back, when we're so far from that," he said.

It's also far away from any major metropolitan area — one of the reasons developers picked the property.

"It's out of what security experts will say is the threat zone," Whitt said.

Developers say they'll have enough food, water and electricity to live off the grid for a year. They expect the first residents to begin moving in by early 2018.

There’s one born every minute, and two to take him.

I’m sure that solid marble fountain will come in handy when things go South.

Underground bunkers, I can understand. In that area, tornado shelters are a worthwhile home improvement which will add value to a home. The DNA vault, though, makes me think of a particular scene in A Boy and His Dog. Perhaps there's a less creepy explanation.

Do I still have to make my mortgage payment if I’m stuck under ground?

[tbw2]

Poor OPSEC.

[bgill]

With all the vote stealing going on up in that area, they better get it finished by Tuesday.

[mumblypeg]

“Poor OPSEC.”

Shhh! It’s a secret.

[Charles Martel]

That's a really big fountain for that size development. I wonder what its alternate purpose is... potable drinking water / filtration? Rainwater collection / cistern?

I've glanced at that general area for its Get Out Of Dodge potential, so I'm not sure how to feel about this project. I'm annoyed that these people just sent up a flare and attracted attention there, but the size of this project ($$$$$) does sort of validate the push-pin in my map.

[polymuser]

Better have remote armed surveillance for the air intakes...

All of this is for nothing if you are a Christian. Revelation is clear that if you don't go in the Rapture, you MUST be killed for Christ to go to heaven. Lets say you are skilled enough to survive the purge by the Beast for 2-3 years, Rev 13:10 tells us if you kill by the sword, you must die by the sword. Don't think you are going to get a pass by killing your neighbor to get their food and ammo for yourself. In that verse "the patience of the saints" is mentioned. What is that, you might ask? Rev 14:12 tells you that you must keep the Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus to have the patience of the saints. Most preppers I know are looking to kill or be killed, steal rather than starve, rape women, and jut basically act like the Walking Dead clans in this lawless time. Remember, the only reason you are still reading is you might be interested in what is required of a confessing Christian in this trying time.

Finally, lets read Rev 14:13. God is telling us that we would be blessed to be dead by now. He is relaying that there is NO HOPE from here on out, so just give up and die for Christ. You had the choice to kill your flesh in the baptismal and live as a new creature for Christ. If you are left behind in the Rapture, you match the foolish virgins that said they were Christian, but Jesus didn't know them in the wedding party and they were left behind to "buy and sell". The mark of the Beast will be offered and if you must not take it. If you are still running around without the mark, why are you avoiding going to be with Jesus? If you take the mark, you just bought no more than 3.5 years at the most and you will get sick and burn in hell for eternity. If you are still hiding, you must live a Christian life in a world of murder, and sin.

Jesus is coming for His Bride. Those are the ones that love Him now, more than this life in this foreign country. Fall in love with Jesus. Serve Him now. Look forward to His coming. Have faith that He is who he says He is. If you say you love Jesus, but hang on to this world, you are double minded. The Earth is temporary and eternity is reality. There is nothing wrong with having extra food and supplies in case of emergency, but we MUST loosen our grip on this world to be pleasing to God. If your Bride said she loved you, but never seems to want to come be with you, can you still believe her? Any Bible reader can tell if God's judgement is here or just man's judgement. If it's God's judgement, you won't escape living in a hole in the ground.

I plan to be a radioactive mutant cannibal roaming the southwest on the prod for juicy Texans.
