Now is a good time to think about stockpiling food, medicine, and the essentials. Just in case we are staying on Earth awhile and may have to go through some hard stuff. Maybe have a place to hide the kids..a secret hiding place as Corrie Ten Boom's family had for the Jews. Now is not the time to melt in despair. My husband and I have discussed a secret room when we build, maybe in the basement, at least to put the food we are going to load in there. We have grandkids we will want to protect.

Assuming you're talking about the Rapture, why would you hide?
Isn't God supposed to poof you up to heaven?
LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED...
unless it is troubled by a bunch of kooky, paranoid delusions, that is...
You go right ahead and do like they did in the Dark Ages when they thought the end of the world was coming. Get rid of all your worldly goods and go hide in a cave and pray.
good idea, all of you guys should just lock yourselves in your basement and wait for the rapture, go, do it now, hurry
Not much fundy, perhaps this should be in CTSTDT.. but even then, wanting to have a secret room is not necesarily Conspiracy Theorist. Most of what Judy is posting is actually GOOD ideas.. without the rapture bullshit hovering in the context of her comment, of course.
At the engineers office where I work a colleague of mine once took a phone call.
Colleague: 'What's your name?'
If you actually believe all this Rapture nonsense, then Matthew 25 says you're either a sheep or a goat. If you're a sheep, Jesus will say "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world" and you won't need secret rooms. If you're a goat, Jesus will say "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels" and all the secret rooms and food in the world won't help you.
And when the starving notice that you are still well fed, what do you think they will do?
Bet you didn't think of that angle.
Your stupid Rapture is unscriptural and will cause you nothing but trouble. If you must be a Christian, at least be part of a mainstream church instead of a lunatic fringe.

Yes, I have a backpack in the cupboard under the stairs with supplies for a few days in it and I live in the South East UK. I can evacuate my house in a minute and have enough to survive for a week assuming it's not midwinter. In my daytime job I prepare for emergencies, the nearby motorway being blocked by snow and stalled artics was a good example, we rounded up the drivers, ferried them to a sports centre and bedded them down for the night c/o bedding supplied by the Territorial Army.
If you are not letting your heart be troubled why the fuck are you making so many preperations.
Serioulsy though, if the end of the world does come, why would you want to survie. Me, I am hoping I will go the quickest. I don't think I could survive post apocolpticness.
Maybe have a place to hide the kids
Last time I checked, locking a child up in the basement was child abuse.
Teh building contractors will know about your "secret" place too BTW.
Man these mind fucks amaze me. Is the whole of the USA mind fucked on reality watching TeeVee and all those ebul conspiracy theories?
I mean really - please land planet USA on planet earth already.
"Maybe have a place to hide the kids..a secret hiding place as Corrie Ten Boom's family had for the Jews."
How come nobody commented on the Godwin here? And if I was related to an Holocaust survivor or to someone who saved Jews back then I'd be mightily pissed off by Judy's nerve...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
