We are interested in ‘walk-it’ believers who are bent on preparing for others as well as for themselves. We pray if we do this right He’ll send a few people here for help and all that goes along with it.
We are building a refuge intent upon achieving physical survival and self-sustainability, of course, but most importantly is to do this in a way which honors Him and depends upon Him. We are seeking, first, His kingdom. There is nothing new under the sun and our’s is a tale which has already been told. We don’t seem to have any questions and problems which can’t be answered in scripture and by good old fashioned prayer – with excellent results. We’re not zealots and we’re not ‘preachy’.
Ideological diversity on a virtual group is different than in an actual reality community. We’re not looking for perfect people but alternative sexuality is a no-go. as well as foul-mouths, drunks, addicts, and those who are seeking to hide from anybody for anything. We came up with this criteria the hard way – makes for good campfire stories.
Discreet smokers are welcome.
For those who are still reading this:
We have 8+ acres with exceptional sustainability features located in the corner of SW MO. We can provide individual housing for the first few new people and are building geodesic dome/earthship shelters for people, animals, and winter gardens. If you don’t know what ‘earthship‘ construction is you can web search it. There is plentiful information online. People can build whatever they want. We have a lot going on here but it is a homestead; With the exception of electricity, phone, and internet, it is pretty-much rustic camping with composting toilets and spring water, which we filter but probably don’t need to. We raise chickens, rabbits, and have 500lbs of feed for the hooved animals we are hoping to trade 14′ domes for.
We are connected by friendship and kinship to others in SW MO who are doing the same, in varying degrees of approach.
The cost is $150 per person or $250 per couple to participate from either within or from where you are at this time. Included is use of all the amenities. You must provide your own food, transportation, toiletries, and are welcome to build here and/or to bring RVs/trailers. We have four tons of steel tubing for domes and an ample source for tires.
A few things:
We don’t have a website and don’t want one.
We don’t facebook and want no internet visibility (as a location) other than to seek members.
We don’t participate in gov’t or law enforcement bashing on-line or otherwise.
We avoid any gov’t aid benefits associated with this address. We do NOT consider S.S., retirement benefits, or unemployment insurance, to be ‘aid’.
That’s it in a nutshell. Looking forward to meeting others of our kind.
If you you share the same goals and aspirations please contact us.
May our Father continue to bless us, His son, our King, keep us, and His Holy Spirit guide us. amen
