Something I've never understood about all the disaster preparedness, food storage, weapon stockpiling, bunkers, etc etc that is prevalent in the church--
Since they believe that they're in the one true church and if the world actually got that bad, why would they WANT to survive?
We're all going to die someday and if something like nuclear holocaust or Armageddon actually happened...aren't they going to go meet Joseph and Jesus anyway? Doesn't this just expedite meeting them so they can get their eternal reward, get out of a horrible existence and into 'joy everlasting'?
If you don't believe that stuff, I totally get that you want to preserve your life as long as possible, and fight off people who want to steal your food, etc.
But if one believes they're in the true church and heading for the celestial kingdom, what's the point? What am I missing?
