George Green, former Investment Banker (Registered Financial Principal with the NASD) makes no bones about what is going on with the American economy today.

I can't help but think of this phrase found in Last Day Events p134 which states:

"National apostacy will speedily be followed by national ruin".

With this in mind, I personally know of some Adventists who have just recently moved out into the country where there are no modern conveniences so that they may prepare for the last days. Some are withdrawing money from the banks. Others are selling out and buying gold bricks.

If George Green is to be taken seriously, what would you do?

Do you see the Sunday Law looming ominously in the horizon?

The price of gold is very high right now. I am not buying gold. I am buying stocks. Tomorrow I will be making my monthly stock purchases (I wish the market would have waited a week to recover). I am buying stock in Wal-Mart, Phizer, Exxon/Mobil, Microsoft and General Electric.

How have your stocks been doing Shane?

I am 10% down last I checked. Of course I don't plan on selling them for another 25 years so they have some time to grow.

You have done better than I then. And I don't see myself being able to retire at a "normal" age.

I thought the video was quite interesting, especially considering it was made almost a year ago and to see how already some of the things have happened and are happening. I don't know if it's all true or not, but it's something to think about.

QR frame:

There is a man with gold and there is a man with a gun. They meet and one walks away with both gold and gun. Which one has both? --Kurt Saxon

Besides, one cannot eat gold.

Seriously, if the money fails... shortly afterwards, whatever govt is around will be looking to confiscate any gold (or even the smell of gold) - probably by labeling gold contraband with those possessing any - subject to capital termination; both financially and biologically :-o

Holy Writ states that the time will come when men will throw their silver into the streets. The question obtaining would be: what conditions first prevail that persuade men to acquire silver - that they would, thereafter, have it to throw into the streets?

Anyway, .9999 silver may be desirable for the making of colloidal silver - either the next generation antibiotics or the next generation of snake oil. I'd opt that it may prove to be efficacious.

Peace: "...moved out into the country where there are no modern conveniences..."

Should your idea of "modern conveniences" reference such as public transportation, cultural exchanges, Starbucks, etc - I can appreciate what you may be suggesting. However, should you be referring to living where there would be no available potable water, your 'septic' facilities would consist of a plank and a hole in the ground, etc - then I suggest that that is too far away from a support system and leaves such a person much too vulnerable to the depradations of two-legged animals.

jasd, by modern conveniences in this case, I meant no electricity, i.e., no phone service, no computers, PG&E, no garbage service, no natural gas, etc.

Well, I've been doing a little checking on this George Green, because I'd never heard of him before. He is big into aliens, having talked to them, etc. I don't know that I would take what he says too seriously; on the other hand, I suppose Satan knows what the master plan is and can be a pretty good predictor of the future. But just wanted to let y'all know. He's got all kinds of videos on YouTube about his ET experiences.

Gold is not the answer. Building interdependent communities is.
