This is an excellent point. I have considered running to federal land and hiding. Even if I leave my electronic leash behind, a few drones passing over the forest will easily see fires, body heat, etc. via infrared. Trees are not enough cover for modern surveillance tech. Jehovah will have to be my stronghold (Ps 71:1-4).
The good news is that when it's their turn to hide, they will beg the mountains to fall on them and hide them.

I have four mylar blankets it doesn't hurt but have no illusions it'd be adequate to avert being picked up by the governments infared equipment.
Wow! Y'all are planning for Mad Max apocalypse scenario. Guns are mostly outlawed here so only the criminals and cops have them of course 🤔🤡. I told my wife I was going to build a crossbow to defend the castle. She rolled her eyes like usual 🤓.

Speaking of Mad Max, we used to have a wild ex hippie sister in the congregation back home. She was one of those sisters who didn't give a $#!+ what people think and proudly spoke her mind. Once an elder told her husband to "control you wife" 😂🤣. I remember we were studying a WT article about armageddon once and in her comment, she referanced Mad Max. The brothers would often ignore her raised hand due to her "punk rock" comments...I miss Mourna. Last time I visited them before she died, her and hubby were joking about smoking weed. She was a special one. Sister Asadour (Kim) reminds me of her a lot.

It's funny I actually watched the first three Mad Max films for the first time last week.

If you want to stay within the bounds of scripture I guess it's swords, javelins and sling shots. I'm pretty handy with a wrist rocket.

I have long felt that these very sad mass shootings were the perfect opportunity for politicians to convince the public to get rid of most firearms. However, each time this happens, the public simply doubles-down and buys more guns and ammo. Now, I'm beginning to wonder if that's really what the evil and powerful people want.

It seems like the goal is another civil war. Divide and conquer as they say. It wouldn't be much of a civil war if no one is armed or only one side is armed. It would barely be a skirmish. But if both sides have some golden calf they're ready to die for and both sides are armed to the teeth, that would be the makings of some real carnage. Plus, the bigwigs can make more money selling the bullets.

Once the dust settles, the only ones left are too beat up to fight or were the non-confrontational types that somehow stayed out of the line of fire. The authorities can roll in without much resistance. The compliant will get in line.

On the other hand, the whole world is lying in the power of the dragon. Maybe he was just bored with all the cable channels and wanted something new to watch? I pray for the children. They're growing up in a terrible world.
Back in 2008 I started watching a number of Docos on the rise of German National Socialism and came to the conclusion that it was being engineered in the West.

The same attitudes of the German Public in the 1930's I saw rolling out around me almost in slow motion. The MSM was so contrived and dissent was being censored. In fact in Australia a series ran on TV outlining the problem under the theme of "Work. Consume. Be silent. Die." That series ran in 2006 pre Facebook and Smartphones showing that the Sheeple were well and truly being brainwashed into servitude to the extent that it was being called out by Social Commentators.

From around about that time I began preparing mentally for the GT like it would be an International version of the Nazis. I never expected as did most of the Brothers that we would be specially protected during the wrap up whilst the rest of the World suffered.

Statistics vary for JWs in Nazi Germany but from memory there were about 20,000 brothers. 5000 of them were incarcerated. Somewhere between 400-800 were executed. I expected that the same would apply to us as the Beast system amped up and grew it's teeth.

My motto was "hope for the best but expect the worse". I don't beg off from Martyrdom but nor do I long for it. "No slave is above his Master". Satan has asked that we be "sifted as wheat". If that means death then so be it.

If the example of Nazi Germany is anything to go by the majority of the Brothers will live through it. Some will experience extreme deprivation and some will experience death. All the Prepping in the World can't stave it off. By all means be practical and prudent and have some things up our sleeves but at the end of the day "this must go where it must go".

I have to admit that I overreacted in starting this post as it turned out to be a normal meeting part, no special announcement. That's what I get for not listening correctly but by the time we get to the end of mid week meeting in 80 degree heat (no ac at the hall) wearing a suit jacket with a face diaper strapped to my face holes for 2 hours, I'm on the verge of hyperventilating and the brain starved for oxygen can only take so much. I'm doing it for you'll folks, taking one for the team 😁😎

All jokes aside, I have to say that the meeting part in relation to the topic was quite practical for short term emergencies. I guess each family would have to decide whether to shelter in place or flee (with go bag) due to circumstances. They didn't really say where we would go so again up to individual circumstance I guess. They did announce that we should consider individual "Covid risk" before we decide to house displaced brothers.

I was talking to a customer yesterday who happens to be a sister. She was happy to announce that she was ready with go bag and would bug out to the Kingdom Hall if neccessary....I guess that might be a good plan?

I prefer to stay put and defend the castle if at all possible. Especially now that we are in a rural area. Only problem here would be flooding. Happy survival to all!
Bug out to a KH - all with their go bags. In 3 days when the food and water is gone, then what?

They have heat detection now. It's one of the ways they were finding illegal marijuana grow operations in homes. The good news is that when it's their turn to hide, they will beg the mountains to fall on them and hide them.
That is true. But it doesn't work anymore. Everybody uses LED grow lights now. They don't produce much heat at all. Not that I'd know anything about that. Regardless, weed is legal here anyway. We can grow up to 6 plants legally.

I have seen some extremes in watchtower, one sister telling me that if someone broke into their home and raped her daughters she would have to let it happen….”turn the other cheek”. (It’s true, she actually said that). The other extreme is the gun culture - a cultural issue without resolution. But what is a normality for you guys in the States, would be seen as an extreme in England….at least, the one I grew up with. I still have on my conscience, shooting a sparrow off a chimney pot with an air gun decades ago. Why did I do that? I do not know if I am being naive, but gun or no gun, is not so much a question of safety, but of values and the only weapon I can answer with is that Jehovah is my gun, and I load it with faith. The scripture says that the days will be cut short if any flesh at all is to be saved, and thus if this is true, having a weapon does in no way protect the one wielding it in terms of solving the issue of personal safety, but may (or may not) increase temporary life-span in terms of time alone - yet it adds to their ultimate test, the issue of legitimacy in taking another life. The question being justification - and as we can only guess at the outcome of such legitimacy in taking another life, it leaves open the question of the personal core value of our faith, ergo, one more issue of and in our judgement by Jehovah. At what point then, if the death of another at our own hand is evident, do we trust in Jehovah for our salvation? It seems that having faith in Jehovah to protect us only after we have taken a life to save our own, rather weakens our prayerful pleadings for preservation He had already promised to us. ‘Fear not those that kill the body but cannot destroy the soul.’ It is best to resolve that issue sooner rather than later. (I am not criticising, just wondering how culture moulds our thinking across the cultural soup of the Atlantic!) .
I hear you B, really well said, as always.

Speaking of your sparrow; I have rabbits coming into my yard and nibbling at my garden. I have a pellet gun and have given them some encouragement to leave the property. I aim for the bum and the weapon is low power. Unfortunately, my aim isn't very good and I've actually gotten head shots by accident. I felt so bad after the second accident that I just let them come into the yard and eat what they want now. No stomach for killing innocent creatures, even by accident. That's how God made us. It's this perverted world that twists it.

I hope I'm never in the situation where it's kill or be killed with another human.

BTW, I'm in Kanada and we aren't allowed to own guns without jumping through many, many hoops. And if they ask you what you want the gun for and you say home defense, you are instantly rejected from owning a firearm. They do like their populous undefended and easy to destroy.

I don't mind killing cockroaches and scorpions if I were to bump into one but that's about it if I need to I wouldn't have trouble neutralizing animals but I refrain from harming even snakes and spiders if I can remove them from an area without it.

Jehovah can and does protect us physically if it serves His purposes to do so.
I agree. The statement that he made has irked me all week. I can think of many examples where Jehoavah has provided physical protection for his servants. A few examples that we have been told to meditate on are the Israelites at the Red Sea, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego etc etc.

They have their own geo-thermal energy plant? Or is that Ramapo?
that’s Ramapo. The cost of that one amenity is ~ $10 million- IF there are no complications.

You know- the Gov Body just doing its part for the Green New Deal. Money is no object, is it Stephen Lett!

Geothermal power requires no fuel (except for pumps), and is therefore immune to fuel cost fluctuations. However, capital costs are significant. Drilling accounts for over half the costs, and exploration of deep resources entails significant risks. A typical well doublet (extraction and injection wells) can support 4.5 (MW) and costs about $10 million to drill, with a 20% failure rate.”

Well, sorry to burst your bubble but if you look around you and follow the alternative news, that collapse is imminent.
This financial system wasn’t build to last and it’s on its last legs. Plus, they need to push the New World Order.
Moms can’t feed their babies in the US due to formula shortages created by the government. No potatoes in the US either, they shipped them to Mexico. Stores are running empty and inflation keeps on rising. What do you think will happen when the cubs are hungry and momma bear can’t feed them?
Remember the BLM riots? Wait till the Roe v. Wade riots begin. It’s just a perfect storm, so many things are happening all at the same time. The above mentioned don’t even scratch the surface.
Bingo, 🌞🛀 (Sun Shower ..get it😂)

But yes you are right on the money. They have been planning this for decades and tbh its going off without a hitch for the Elites. This is 100% planned.
