  1. I play a bit of DnD it keeps me and my friends close even if we have moved away. Warhammer, gardening, mauy thai and age of empires 4 plus board games.
  2. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqUU_2VO63g/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= My first thought
  3. The fact that America is so polarised, I don't think it matters which republican runs, the candidate we still be seen as the next Hitler
  4. So no gathering to zion yet? Ahh well next time.šŸ˜› I'll be watching conference after church here in Australia.
  5. I actually agree with that statement 100%, but to me itā€™s irrelevant. I have the right to own a gun for self defense, huntingā€¦.basically whatever reason I want to. I disagree, from what I've read on the America constitution the point of the right to bare arms is to prevent tyranny. Also 4th gen warfare always seems to give the American army a run for its money. Not to mention the military may be divided in the conflict.
  6. I think food prices due to shortages and inflation is going to be a big problem. I need to get that garden going.
  7. This is a nice perspective. My wife's health isn't the best making it difficult to bring children into the world plus the fear of passing on these health conditions to the kid, it is disheartening. We are striving to save up for a farm were we want to grow a range of fruits, vegetables and herbs making our own little piece of Eden. We want to be able to give and help through this way at least for now.
  8. I remember looking into this after the topic of temple divorce was brought up and the concern of what happens to the children's seeling. I found the most important seeling is to your spouse which is the most important relationship you have bar the one with God.
  9. Yeh I understand this. Sometimes the trials you face feel like you are burning every bit of faith you saved up just to make sure you don't get lost in the dark. I suppose that's how you build more faith by getting through the tough times. I guess I'll just get a bigger lamp.
  10. I think trusting your gut is a useful tool. I agree with with a few of the previous comments if you get a gut feeling take time to think it out dont just react if you can. Some people confuse the feeling of a dopamine rush with the spirit. I think Bednars patterns of light give good advice on trusting your gut or following the spirit. If it's a good decision do it anyway and take small steps through the fog.
  11. I came here for this reason as soon as I saw the words "fear" and "reaper"
  12. I love this perspective, interesting thought. Food storage has been on my mind for a while I know the preppers online are getting worried about food too. As soon as I finish studies I really want to make bigger steps for self-sufficiency
  13. I thought the Saturday morning talk by Henry B Eyring about temples was great. I thought the story about his sudden need to move was interesting, he testified of the Prophets' power of being a seer and the need to heed his counsel.
  14. I'm hearing that there is huge success online for missionary work now so maybe the transition to online teaching may end up being even greater. It's funny that you brought up this talking just yesterday a friend, my wife, and I was talking about the pressure and judgment that church culture puts on people one of them was the expectation for young men to go on a mission. I'm just wondering what inspired you to write this.
  15. Maybe the rest of the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible. The book of Joseph of Egypt
  16. Can i get a link to this quote looks like a good read.
  17. Itā€™s the problems leading up to the second coming that Iā€™m worried about. The goal is to be self-sufficient and off the grid, so I can avoid as much of the chaos as possible. Assuming Iā€™ll be alive for the events leading up to the Second Coming.
  18. Overall it was a positive article considering CNN wrote it. Personally, I'm stoked about all the Revelation we are getting from the Prophet. It is exciting and we should all be trying to receive our own personal revelation on the truthfulness of what President Nelson is saying anyways.
  19. Here is an old ration pack menu for the Aussie army obviously some things have to be substatuted for Word of Wisdom approval but this is easily replicated at your local supermarket (for you Americans a biscuit is like a cookie) I also attached another document that has a list of things that could be useful for a 72 hour kit, in it i also coppied someones comments on the site saying this list is excessive, which it is, but it might give you an idea of things you want. Pack light pack basics, all you need is food water shelter Ration pack.docx Bug out Bag Both 72 hour kit and car pack.docx
  20. Yes chuck all the importants on a USB or on Cloud you can find lists online on things you want to keep incase of an emergancey
  21. Ha Ha jokes on you I live in the subtropics šŸ˜‹
  22. I know I've grown up on a farm. We have rifles and shot guns which I use. Having access to land makes it easier to get a rifle. I have just finished my rifle and hand gun licence course and will soon be applying for the license itself. It's no that we can't have guns it's the restrictions it is difficult to maintain a handgun under the law. There is no concealed carry, No semi-auto rifles or pumpactions. High costs for licensing and many other laws that the government can fine you for if you slip up. If you defend yourself with a gun you are just as likely to be criminalized.
  23. I dislike this poll. I live outside the US and my only option is that I think you guys are crazy. There should be an option that I wish I didn't have an unarmed populace. In Australia we have next to no gun rights and I think that's scary.
  24. Just out of interest what are some examples of greek philosophy in early Christian theology. I don't know much about this and I'm curious.
  25. For my 72 hour kit Iā€™m using a hiking bag with food based on the army rations, a spare pair of cloths, fire source, tarp, knife, sleeping bag, 4L of water and a few army things. You can get a 72 hour kit template almost anywhere online although those kits can get carried away. Test out your kit so you know what you really need, the wife and I were planning on testing our kits out on a three day hike at the bottom of Tasmania to see the Aurora Australis but she got sick. Your focus should be food, water and shelter the whole purpose of the kit is getting you through 3 days most natural disasters are over by then or aid usually arrives.
