I don't like the term "prepper", but I do stockpile food, drinkable water, batteries, ammunition, and a bunch of other things. I do it not because I think anything will happen in the future, but because I just feel it is prudent to have stockpiles of essential items and not be as reliant on easy access to goods.
Oh, and I hate society and am biding my time until I can walk away.

Destiny favors the prepared, Christians will be ostracized and contrary to popular belief....we will endure the great tribulation at the end of the age.........just think.....in the very near future we will not be able to buy or sell....how will YOU (all believers) feed your loved ones.......!
I read the time as "are you a pepper" and thought it was a reference to those old Dr. Pepper ads, haha.
And no : p Ive always felt weird about the idea of trying to survive after some doomsday. Like, the entire world had ended, and now youre just fighting to continue to live in a world where your entire existence here relies on constantly fighting and struggling to survive. That doesnt seem worth it to me : p Im going to die one day, no matter what. So Id be okay with dying due to some doomsday even over constantly struggling to stay alive in some horrible post apocalyptic world, haha.
Though I can understand a bit more with people who have families, I can see having the desire to not see them suffer and all that. But I dont have a family, and the few people close to me in my life are all in agreement that it wouldnt be a struggle worth fighting for : p

I have a hermit neighbor and have helped him a few time...well I took him 4 kittens to keep him company as he was all alone, no family etc.....Winter rolled around (about 2 years ago or so) and I rolled over on my 4 wheeler to check on him and noticed all the cats were gone....I asked him where were the cats and his exact words were....
Well, you know a strange thing....I threw one on the fire and it started smelling like it came out of a gourmet restaurant......
Needless to say....never took him a cat after that....he also said one time.....
You know the orange mushrooms on the trees..(me-->YES) Well, they are really good, but when you eat them you start to see all kinds of wild things.......
This dude will swear up and down the aliens came and got him once or twice and are coming back soon..........WOW!
Even though the Bible says that all will need the mark to buy and sell, I dont think it literally means every existing person in the entire world. I believe it really only refers to those living in the group of nations that have aligned themselves with the anti christ.
We are told that the anti christ would make war on other nations, meaning he does not literally rule every nation over the entire world. I believe the mark will exist, and that those under the law wont be able to buy or sell without it, but I dont believe it will be something every human being everywhere will be under.

I tend to joke around a LOT on here as a defense mechanism to try and hide my anxiety of interacting with other people - I don't know how to communicate with people properly, but I have to say in all seriousness...I wanna hang out with your neighbor. Dude sounds like a good time.

He is definitely a character....he burnt his house in September (couple year ago) because he wanted to watch it burn.....in winter I rolled up, had about 10 inches of snow on the ground and nothing was there...about a minute I seen the snow move and he was sleeping on the ground, under a tarp covered with snow....he was lucky he did not asphyxiate........I was like what the..........
On the nations? I remember war made on the SAINTS and wearing out the SAINTS and overcoming the SAINTS...and the word ALL used to describe who he causes to take the mark.......
****I'm not preparing for the Tribulation----just in case there is "problems"-----example----my dad lived in Florida in 2005---Hurricane Charley messed up Punta Gorda----he was without power for 3 weeks----it's not the end of the world---but it's nice to have power, water , & food---relying on others---like during Katrina in New Orleans can be a disaster...
I am prepper I am a prepping to get out of this horrid world someday... I do not have extra stuff stashed away so to speak. My theory is if you have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to live under ground with your family for God knows how long. I think I may be better off dead. I love my kids and all but to spend even more then three days with them in a underground shelter or something i think we would kill each other anyways. HAHA besides I am thinking if it comes to a point where you have to live in some underground shelter for some reason chances are your going to either Die of something before you get into it. Or dye of something soon after you get into it. The next big thing to happen in our world that would be that bad I would not want to survive it. I would want God to come down and just bring me out of this hell. SO no I do not prep for any zombie apocoloypse or some world war three nuke r etc... I just have enough of what I need around in case of a huge winter storm or tornado or natural type disaster that will be cleared up in a few days to weeks.
