Maybe this holiday season is a good time to have that "special talk" with friends and neighbors.

This is the way. It drove me nuts when my bishop said the city was requiring everyone to state what they could provide during an emergency.
I was blown away, this wasn't a church prep, he was warning the families in our ward about the government's request. He made it clear that in an emergency we should all work together & let EQ & Relief Society heads know what was needed & what services we could provide. Also sounded like he was willing to have Aaronic priesthood members go out & get reports once the issue happened because many members already knew the basics of what each other was able to do & who had tool, building, medical & radio knowledge.
I recall our EQ president at that time telling us he didn't want to know how much food storage any of us had & that he hoped we were following decades old council, though we should pray about it individually & prepare for what we needed as the spirit prompted each family. If you were just there transitioning to a new place in a year or two, a year or two of storage fan be alot to move around. If you are staying out of 10+ years, you should likely build up a years worth or more.
My biggest concern with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints had been the mass sale of their farmlands to developers in the past 10 years. Land that was fully owned & producing lots of food is being sold. I don't know if they are simply reinvesting in cheaper farmland elsewhere with the sale of older land that is more valuable for developers, it just is an interesting thing to see happen as the local farms we used to serve at are now being developed all across Utah.
Interesting times ahead for sure.
I don't know what is happening with church real estate.
My thoughts are that they are moving assets out of the US as the US is now a communist country, explicitly so.
The writing is on the wall, they are going to try and seize church assets.
I could easily see deep state going that route. Not sure if you are a member, though it was crazy the reactions I got initially when the FBI lovers were caught texting (Lisa to Peter) "are we starting our own little secret combination? "
Most elders who heard it then just brushed it off almost in disbelief. Now they are curious & not suprised that it could be talked about in the open.
It has been interesting to watch attitudes shift over the past decade on awakening type subjects.
I remember the distinct impression when Pres. Nelson told us to read the Book of Mormon again in 2019 (IIRC). I read it, and the Spirit told me "Now they are going to reveal themselves for everyone to see! We have been warned sufficiently!"
I worry sometimes whether I am a member. Yes, I have a temple recommend, but I wonder if the people around me are wolves in sheep's clothing or not. Some of them talk about stuff in a way that I was explicitly warned about. Like teaching absolute loyalty to the prophet, rather than questioning his revelations and seeking spiritual confirmation. Like putting your trust in the experts and deferring to government officials about how we should run our meetings. That sort of alarming stuff.
Like, did you guys NOT read what every prophet has ever said about how prophecy works, and how we are supposed to receive instruction from the church leadership?
Did we just forget, all of a sudden, that we were warned about even the very elect being deceived, or that we should not put our trust in apostles, etc...?
It drives me nuts sometimes, and it's weird how all the "conspiracy theorists" among us are all of a sudden right about everything, all the time.
We had an apostle come to our stake conference, years ago, and ask, "What would you do if you had no more temple, no mission, no stake, no wards, no building? What would you do if the entire church structure disappeared?" He asked how we would rebuild the church, or what we would have to look for as God restores the church? What are the things we can actually put our trust and faith in, and what are the things that are not worthy of our faith?
How deeply was our church infiltrated by satanic forces? Who can we trust?
I wish I could verify the claim that Ezra Taft Benson was pushed down a flight of stairs becuase he bucked the government too much.
I was told that by a guy who was awakening almost 20 years ago, but could only tell me it was a security guy on temple Square that told him. I haven't found anything to collaborate it. Oddly IIRC Benson was the one who started the "Follow the Prophet" movement during a talk to BYU. Though I might be recalling that incorrectly.
I have called them what I heard on a older conference talk (late 60s or 70s on the church site) that talked about wolves in the holy garments of the priesthood. I just can't see Mitt Romney any other way.
I am with you regarding how we were told to always question what we were told & get personal revelation.
Ultimately I am waiting for the one who is going to remove the curse that was set down on the church for treading on the things of God lightly. I need to search D&C to find thst again, though almost (if not all) of that 3rd & 4th generation is dead. I believe my father is the 4th of we count the children alive at that time as 1st generation, otherwise he would be 5th. One mighty & strong is supposed to restore lots of stuff, and with how I see the Ezras Eagle prophecy tied in with multiple other scriptures I am fascinated at how much the stuff in this movement aligns with it all. I haven't found anything that seems more aligned with God yet, though I have been open. God has made it pretty clear that I should remain a card carrying member & that all my searching & learning in decades past simply was to out me on a path to see the truth of this great awakening for what it is.
Had a guy in a split off group tell me about 20 years ago that Christ wouldn't come until after 2020 & told me that the apocrypha books showed that, though they never pointed to 2nd Esdras ch 11-12. I found that via YouTube with guys taking about a Remenant Returned & then the guy who wrote Ezras Eagle. Both gave lots of info ont he subject & I was convinced that Trump would be removed prematurely the same way as Nixon or JFK was. I couldn't fathom voter fraud removing him before his time. Now it is exciting to see how this is playing out. If Biden was already removed, we are likely in the phase where eagle heads have swallowed up each other. Otherwise we are just waiting for the 3 heads to take power.
Either way, it made it clear to me that the US government post Hoover was the beast Daniel had described at the end times & Ezra spelled it out with crazy amounts of mathematical accuracy if we look at time as elected terms.
My brother thinks that the heads will be individuals that vie for power & kill each other, though I am thinking it is the branches of government & that the military may have already swallowed up the legislative head. Though I really don't know, it makes sense via the devolution theroy.
Good to see another with their heads on square. Again it always bothered me how everything I was raised to understand about how to get personal revelation has been tossed aside & so many just do not question anymore as we have always been encouraged to.
Though in the end, Mormon was told to shut up & no longer preach gospel truths because the people wouldn't listen. I have wondered if we are in a stage like that within our own church & that those who have listened & prepared are the ones to help others as things get even more crazy.
Here is hoping to meeting you fren once the dust settles & Jesus is walking among us again
