I did hear this theory. I don't think it was from an email, but I can't remember for sure where I heard it. As I recall, the context was that this information was being leaked from that top secret meeting that Congress had a while back. Supposedly the purpose of that meeting was to let Congress know how close the economy is to collapse (sometime in Sept) and that of course they expect a backlash/revolution against the entire administration, including Congress, by the public, so they wanted to make sure all members of Congress know where their official hiding places are so they will be safe when the public comes after them.

Best guesstimation for an 'Event' would place it in

October.

Food supplies are mostly distributed by then and, except for a few areas in the nation, the next crops (a few veggies) won't be coming in for approximately - another 8-9 months.

The next general harvest would be a year from this upcoming Octoberfest (hurt not the wine ).

Incidentally, why is the Govt buying all the nitro-packed food on the market? creating the present shortage... The big houses which sell nitro-packed foods place delivery for today's orders as - a year out - in '09; if you know how to whistle Dixie...

Not suggesting anything frightful. I don't know - then again, who does?

and chicken little goes about screaming "the sky is falling; the sky is falling."

It's a good thing to be aware. Just be sure you know how to spell "The sky is falling"! And "Fire! Fire!"

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27 KJV
Regards!

trouble is that there was something called the Marshal Plan once upon a time. Is there some confusion?

And, Pollyanna still gets mugged and raped.

A conspiracy-minded friend of mine has been saying for at least 2 years that Bush will not step down in January 2009: some crisis will occur or be manufactured that will mean the elections will be postponed and Bush will continue in power.

I've never believed him and still don't, but as theories go it's at least as plausible as whatever the underpinnings of this one are.

I think Stan's original goal was to avoid people being scammed by the unscrupulous. Whatever you think might happen to the economy in the future, giving a large amount of your money to a conman is not going to make it easier for you and your family to survive through it.

Responding to your friend - olger says "L u d i c r o u s."

Well, like the prediction that the world would end on 08/08/08, it's an empirically testable prediction: all we have to do to test it is keep on living for another few months!

As far as theories go – this one was introduced by Stan.



Seems to me that EGW suggested the same; so, obviously, the question obtains – is the congregation, once again, simply picking and choosing – what to accept and what to reject, not this time from Writ, but from the pen of ‘the prophet’?

My contribution to the thread is predicated upon the following and is basically cautionary:



Further developed by noting an act of Govt that, ordinarily, is telltale, following:



And cautioned:



That said, one exemplifies the epitome of foolishness to have, today, the opportunity to insure that his family stands the best chance against unnecessary deprivation – should the unforeseen occur – and does nothing.

It is said that it is better to be 30 years too early, than 1 day too late. Good advice.

Should you be referring to my thread that begins with a cut from an article specifically built upon the number 8, that is, 08:08:08–08.08.08 – than it is hoped you read more carefully than seemingly, did dgrimm60

:-o

Per application to an existing Executive Order to implement a state of martial law, well, technically, as well as legally, we are already under martial law – it, never having seen its sunset from the Civil War. That is the dirty secret that has allowed the Govt to do much as it has. Anyway,

I hope things go on as expected; as, I intend to cast my November vote for the ticket of McCain/Palin.

Now, that Palin is a natural; kick fundament, girl!
