The Prepper Movement -- a Growing Network Preparing for the World's End
BeforeItsNews.com ^ | 5/28/10

Posted on 06/21/2010 11:08:43 AM PDT by Kartographer

If the proverbial you-know-what hit the global fan, would you be prepared? The answer to that question is most likely a big, fat no.

After all, it's hard to develop life skills (e.g., growing/storing your own food, filtering water) while playing myriad video games or scrounging the Internet for funny videos to post on Facebook.

Turns out, though, that while youmay not be concerned about mass chaos and world destruction, a growing number of people are.

Sure. I still have all of my Y2K supplies, oddly enough.

I wonder if all my Y2K stuff in the bunker is still good. :-)

Most folk are not prepared, because they do not prophecy.

Way ahead of you all.

Expiration date: October 21, 2011

According to Harold Camping.

“In Camping’s latest publication,”We are Almost There!”[15], he states that certain Biblical passages point unquestionably to May 21, 2011 as the date of “Rapture”, and October 21, 2011 as the end of the world.”

Making it clickable by insuring an “ENTER”

All you have to prep is your soul.

I’m more concerned with economic disaster than the end times.
I’m keeping my soul in order.

Roving bands of looters have no soul.

One would think he’d have learned his lesson the other efforts he’s failed at with such date setting.

I contended with him live onair over the phone in the 1970’s and wondered then if he was becoming senile.

I know a family that is torn apart by his nonsense—repeatedly bankrupted, essentially.

Nothing new. Remember the bomb shelters of the early 1960s? Survivalism really took off in the 1970s with the writings of mel Tappan ( and the Jimmy Carter admin). Before he wrote articles you could not sell an assault rifle as no one really wanted them (except me). After his articles you could not find one anywhere and they became a HOT ITEM!

Sounds like it's about time to blow the rest of my savings on a cruise...like the book says; 'Die Broke'.

Timing is everything.

I have several failed prophecies of the return of Christ. I still have TWO COPIES of WHY THE RAPTURE WILL BE IN 1988!

One, in 1983 or 1984, (I’m too lazy to check it out) said the end would come with a nuke attack on Israel in the fall of that year, and the replacement of the American flag with one where a dollar sign replaces the stars.

Well, I don't know how much of a “prepper” I am, but it seems to me that storing non-perhisble food is common sense.

All I know for sure is, NO ONE knows the day or the time.

So when someone says it’s going to be at a certain time, I know for sure it WON’T be then.
