That would be the preferred method, but...
The talk did include the apocalyptic tone of stocking up food supplies. Nobody mentioned a bunker or compound, per se; but that comes right after we git our women corralled.
Dispensationalism is the preferred eschatology among Apostolics, especially among those who have to look up the word to see what it means. There is a dire mindset that comes with this teaching - one that I think most Dispies try to avoid, but the language is rife with anti-social jibes and a gloom "ho-hum, the world's going to end" kind of mentality.
I try to make it a point to speak out against those tendencies. We need each other and we need the political strength that comes from our numbers. If the enemy (or even we ourselves) can get us to divide up into little isolated subsets and sub-sects then they can easily pick us off one by one.
There's going to be a "Morning After..." whether we can hold on through the night or not. So, let's dust ourselves off, git the women out of the corral, share the Raman with a food bank and march bravely into our destiny.
