And that is why I only grow heirlooms.
I think socialism-in-practice relies more on the mindset and behavioral habits of the population. So, for example, a country can be subject to flash mobs (or not) regardless of how that country’s government is formally constituted.
Some of us have been prepared to meet Him since we took the oath to protect and defend. That is never void.
It’s the rest of everyone I’m concerned about.
Those who don’t know Him.
We don’t face death very often in this country and I think we are spoiled by that and have developed the mentality that we are invincible and since it’s not pressing in on us all the time, we push it aside unless someone close to us dies.
All you can do is plant a seed and pray it grows...Some will find Him, some won’t, and that’s not on you, but on them.
I disagree a little tho, tho we do not face death everyday, alot more are seeing the fact that you can leave the house for work and you might not be home for dinner...that’s why so many are buying weapons for self defense.
I use powdered lime juice, powdered lemon juice and powdered orange juice from the Great American Spice Co., for seasonings. I use it liberally along with hot sauces on everything I eat. Love the tartness.
At 85 people per square mile, the US has the same population density as Madagascar. West Virginia's population density is around 77. I'm thinking West Virginia (largest city is only 50,000 people) is pretty rural overall.
It’s more that we have been used to not seeing death everyday.
That’s what has caused our complacency.
I also agree that that is changing.
And yes, each person’s destiny is in their own hands. God gives the increase.
A subtle but important difference.
>>This thread has been an interesting read, but one thing I have noticed is the lack of mention for preparing by all people to meet their Maker.
If any of us really completely trusted in our salvation, we wouldn’t care what happens here on earth. That’s not criticism. We’re all human and humans constantly rebel against God and the free gift of Grace does seem like it’s too good to be true.
So, we hedge our bets by trying to have a long and fruitful life on earth. We fight against the godlessness of socialism and the satanic Islam when, if you think of it, living under either as a devout Christian would be such a glorious test of our faith. The martyrs knew that.
Bump for later
I can assure you that “everyone” will not be welcomed in the rural areas.
Yeh especially where we are going. LOL!
Ain’t socialism grand? The outcomes are indeed predicable.
Blundering randomly off into the woods will get you shot.
Sounds like you know what I’m getting at.
If it ever comes to that a lot of people are going to be in for an unpleasant surprise when they figure out that “their” BOL is actually someone else’s private property.
Yep.
And those in charge of the “collapse” are not in government. THAT is the key. You need to know where to look, and what to look for.
A country goes bankrupt the same way a person does: A little at a time. Then all of a sudden.
China just appointed their leader for life.
China looks good from out outside, but it is a dump.
I would guess if you are struggling with Type II diabetes, by the time we are breaking out THAT food, you will be well on your way to reducing your dependence on medication.
Thanks blam.
