Re: sharing food storage with the unprepared and disobiedient
I don't know percentages so I won't speculate.
Your other comment is ridiculous at best. Those that aren't fully prepared are the ones that want to share?? I would venture a guess that it's opposite, that those that aren't fully prepared are the ones that fear and hide their preparations under a bush. Either that or they are holier than thou, better than the rest of the rubbish out there.

I have more then a year supply and am added more each day because I know this will help others too. I have a storage of clothes and all kinds of odd items that are for others not me.....Yet I think I am one of the loudest calling to share?
I think Avid posted he had a full supply too, and he clearly states we are to share. I remember others saying that too.
I think those that are saying they will share are the very ones WITH the storages, not the ones without.
I don't want to share to get something. I want share so I can give. We need to work together not in competition with each other that is enmity and competitive zeal. We will not make it through all of this working alone, only working together.
“Beware of Pride” President Benson http://tinyurl.com/2jkuom
We need to encourage others to do the same, to get their years supply. Not focus on worring if people are going to want to eat ours. As Elder Featherstone said we do have to share we GET to Share!
That is what Zion is all about working together as one. Not focused on self. Now is the time we really need to help others get their storages, encourage, teach etc...not worry about them eating ours.........

Bella, I think you misunderstood my post. Your post proves my point.

No need to get offended. I was under the impression that a forum is for discussion of an issue. If we are offended easily then we are in need of a good hard look at ourselves.will wrote:I'm done here, I don't think many People understood what I truly meant, I'm OK with that. There is a scripture that applies to this however, I won't post it due to anyone taking out of context. I really wish you all the best.

Yes! that is why I quoted you and agreed with what you said.shadow wrote:Bella, I think you misunderstood my post. Your post proves my point.
But I forgot to say " I agree!" I am sorry about that. I should have been more clear.
I just quoted you and started typing away! Yes we both said the same thing, I was just trying to give evidence of what you said. Since I am willing to share and have more than a year's storage. I was helping you prove your point....LOL So sorry I did not say that! I will in the future make sure I say that I am quoting someone because I agree with what they said. Sorry!!!

I think what you post is very close to what I have posted. May be not exaclty but pretty close. When I post it is usually in response to posts that are not yours.
Who is not understanding you? If I am not understanding what you are saying I want to understand. Earlier in the thread I typed what I thought you were saying and you answered that was right. I don't want you to not express yourself. You have also said something similar on another thread too. Please keep expressing yourself on any issue. Everyone has an equal voice. Yours needs to be heard too.

I think some have insinuated that food storage is the key to being a wise virgin, thus they can't share it.

Yes I think that is what is being said here....Good point! That is living the letter of the law and not the spirit. That limits them to terrestrial rules and stops the Celestrial laws to go into effect. The law of consecration, and the Untied Order.shadow wrote:I think some have insinuated that food storage is the key to being a wise virgin, thus they can't share it.

C'mon guys...Steve, Kathyn, AvidDisciple, NoGreaterLove, Bella...ect.
Addresses please.
We would like to be on the receiving end when you share your bounty.
You continually reiterate that you want to share, but thus far I have seen no addresses.
Why is that?
How will we know where to refer people to?
I want to be of service to others.
I want to help others find you.

Re: sharing food storage with the unprepared and disobiedient
You read like a 12 yr old chain puller. What have you shared lately? Anything? If anything, why don't you advertise it? Certainly you're not selfish with everything are you?

I have shared my knowledge a plenty in the short time I have been a member of this forum.
Perhaps I have even educated the Great Illuminated One, Shadow, as he has browsed the threads.

I apologize to the viewers of this thread for the distraction that has occurred throughout the past 4-5 posts between Shadow and myself. I consider the matter closed.
Let's get back to the thread topic. 8)

Re: sharing food storage with the unprepared and disobiedient
I read your posts chain puller. I was responding to your repeated requests for addresses from those who say they are willing to share. It insinuated that those that are willing to share are hypocrites or they didn't really mean it. It was offensive and it needed to be responded to. Most good deeds are done without advertising.
I'm glad we can move on now.

I see your point.
My comment regarding the posting of addresses was never intended to be offensive, but I did intend to incite feelings of uneasiness.
Why?
Because when the real tough times come, sharing one's food will be an issue of true sacrifice. I want people to realize the seriousness of some of the things they are committing to already. I want them to realize that sharing during difficult days, while admirable, can put one's own family at risk if prudent care is not taken. For it may well be that they will be referred to someday for a helping hand. I want to help these people determine beforehand if they are truly prepared emotionally to sacrifice for others at the expense of their own families.
Within this forum at large, I hope to throw gasoline on the topics at hand. I hope to pull people's chain sometimes and encourage deeper analysis and invite consideration to an alternative view. As everyone thinks a little deeper and shares their comments, we are all benefitted.
