  Are there JWs who prepare for the tribulations they assume are around the corner?

  When I visted the US once in 1999 I met a few guys who were expecting a global meltdown due to the millenium bug.

  As a consequence they had generators, guns, ammo, tins of food, bottled water, fuel, all kinds of stuff to help them through a civil disorder situation.

  Does anyone know or remember any JWs who have prepared like this? Yes Jehovah will see them alright at Armageddon of course, but the weeks leading up to the final battle could be pretty tough going. . .

  We put a new roof on the KH. One elder thought Jehovah would use it to protect us from falling debris.

  I have met one Jw who prepared like that. No guns or ammo, but food water tents etc.. He was pretty secretive about his stash.. Didn't want to appear to lack faith.

  Actually it had a "sell by date" of December 31, 1975. (I never thought I would need it after that date)

  Yeah, if you're a JW you're best off not talking about all those canned goods and the bottled water in that special pantry in your basement or you'll get a hefty dose of scorn from all the other, more spiritual, JWs in your congo...might even get a talking to by Elder Buttinsky too!

  I read somewhere that Mormons are required to keep a years worth of canned goods in case the end of the world comes. I wonder why witnesses weren't required to do this?
