This was well worth the read! I officially request to join this movement. A great deal was covered in this essay regarding education and preparation. I fully believe we should all be armed and capable of using them. However, self defense is not going to cut it. As you can see there is so much more to do.

Jim and I have talked a lot about these topics and I'm terribly proud to call him a brother. The two of us are basically on the same page regarding these topics. Jim is extremely knowledgeable because he's taken the time in years to get himself to the point he is today, armed with purpose and his love of God, Christ, and Godliness. And not without serious harm to his person. A few months ago I pledged to join Jim in these endeavors with my only ask being that my daughter (disabled) must come first for me. He graciously agreed, as expected.

We must do the hard work of building new foundations for a civil Godly society. No one else is going to do it for us.

Yes. A civil Godly society, exactly. We must build at least one civilisation. The great part of it has been done before, with the establishment of Christendom centuries ago. It's not all still there, of course. Much has been undone. But the fact is, it has been done, so we know in that way that it can be done. We also know in another way, that God wants it done, and with God all things are possible. {"Maybe just make a note of that," said the fellow on a sunny day in Philadelphia.}

A great many people will join us. Yes, we should work with many of them. And, no, we aren't going to get raptured in the middle of the work. Imma write about that part, too.

Wow! First, thank you for mentioning my post about my Dad. Second, what a tour de force! Sorry about your Dad, that's awful. In a way we're opposite. My Mom was not so nice to me as my Dad was. I always wondered why she didn't like me. Sometimes I think it's a miracle any of us get through our childhoods intact. I agree with you that we all need to learn skills if we don't know them already... Our house is locked and loaded and all our neighbors are too. Thanks for writing this!
