Hello from Mennonite Country, Ohio

[Momma]

Hello,

As the dollar continues to fall, the supplies at our farm continue to increase. Some people think we're nuts, but we are firm believers that martial law could be in affect in our country sometime in the future. If so, we will be ready. I am glad that I found this site. I want to use it as a learning tool. There is so much that I still need to learn.

Until next time.

Well welcome aboard from a neighbor. (Almost)

Mennonites are allowed to use computers?

Welcome, if for some nutty reason martial law was declared it would be the people that live in cities that would have to worry not those who live in rural farming areas, and it would be hard to declare martial law with our military busy with 2 wars.

Welcome to the board from a fellow Ohioan.

Welcome.

Mennonites drive cars, use electricity, etc. You're thinking of the Amish.

I dated a Mennonite in college.

He was on the Rugby team, smoked pot, drank, and got his ear pierced.

They aren't Amish!

So are you stocking up on food, water and weapons?

When do you think Marshall Law will come into play? And what reason do you think will cause it? Do you meet with others out there and plan for it, or is it just you and your family 'stocking up?'

I am really interested to hear this!

Oh, and Welcome!

Not to mention the fact that she never said she was a Mennonite, just that she lives in Mennonite country.

True, but many people do get those two sects mixed up, because the Amish branched out from the Mennonite.

We have many here in Northern Indiana too. (both)

They aren't Amish!

When Amish and Mennonite children reach their late teens they are allowed to enter regular society and "experiment" in modern society.

Yes. We are very conscientious about it. And yes, it is our family and a few friends that will be invited. It's not like we have a huge underground facility or anything but we do have a nice set up. A nice farm, well water, generators, plenty of forest and game for hunting, horses....and yes...we buy extra dry goods, canned goods and bottled water. We will also try something new this year....we will begin canning from our garden that we will begin. We think it's a good thing to know....how to handle a garden properly. And it's high time we learn!

You may think it's silly AND maybe it is....BUT!! Are you aware of the current state of the US dollar? Do you wonder just how much more it will decline after China quits buying up all of the debt?? Do you think about what will happen to our all mighty dollar if Japan's new leader DOES decide to transfer Japan’s monetary reserves from US dollars into another currency?? And don't even get me started on Obama. Budget. HA! Just one big welfare country....that's what we'll be! Big, fat, lazy socialists.

Yes.....it may be silly to collect extra food and supplies. It may be silly to learn how to live off of the land. It may be silly to depend on horses. But maybe....JUST MAYBE.....it's the smart thing to do.

And by the way......It's MARTIAL law, NOT Marshall. And I am NOT a Mennonite....they are my neighbors and I like the way that they live. We are peaceful people where I come from. God fearing and law abiding.....unless the law turns on us, that is.

Yes, you are right. The cities are the LAST place a person would want to be. But eventually....trouble would make it's way to the country. BAD decision on "troubles" part.

Where did I say it was silly what you're doing? You think the USA is turning to hell in a hand basket, and you're just preparing yourself for when it happens! Nothing wrong with that, it's your right as a US Citizen.

So when do you think this is going to happen, and when the law turns on you, what will you do?

 

[Ringel05]

Psst! Over here. Concertina wire, claymores and foo gas, cheap. We even do custom punji traps with "dips" of your choice.

(Russian nukes, buy em by the dozen for great discounts!)

Ahhh..........Now, if I only had a crystal ball. Hey, I look at it this way......if it never happens, then we'll have a lot of food and water to pass on to the less fortunate people of our community

Ummm, will you save us some space? My husband retires in 6 years, unless it happens before that.
