    Hey, I meant to post last night but I've been so swamped lately.

    Heat, we don't plan on creating anything that is attached to the government in any way. I do not recognize their laws forcing people to pay for land that they do not own. But you are right, it will be very difficult finding land, that is the only hard part so far in preparation. I think that once we get that out of the way, the rest will be easier and a little bit less stressful.

    As for farming, I have experience in gardening/farming and raising crops. Not to brag, but I have a very green thumb. ^_^ We don't plan to use *any* machinery, *especially* those that run off of gasoline! That would defeat the purpose of the movement. The farming will get done because EVERYONE will have to pitch in and do their share of work. I don't plan on making animals do slave labor either, at least, not if a human(s) can do it just as well. We will hunt and farm, much like the native americans. There are still tribes on earth that live this way, so why can't we?

    You are also correct when it comes to the water supply, it wont be easy finding clean viable water to drink, but we must and we will. As a matter of fact, that is all the more reason for us to do this sooner rather than later and to the fullest extent, not supporting those who putrefy the water and land. As for human waste, I've already thought of that. We will designate certain spots for doing just that, so that no one steps in it or comes across too much of it, we can also use some for fertilizer in the gardens (I know how to do this as well).

    We're studying now and preparing, so that there will be those who are adapt in healthcare, herbal remedies and spiritual healing. As for schooling, we will teach what we know to the others. Again, much like the native americans.

    You make some very valid points, but I don't feel that some of them will really apply to us, especially those dealing with government and taxation.

    But this is great folks, let's keep us thinking, rubbing those brain cells together. :D If anyone has any other ideas or would like to add to what I've said, feel free to do so.

    Love & Peace Be With You ^_^

    With respect, then you are dreaming. You own land it is attached, you earn any income, it is attached, you buy material, it is attached, you build it is attached to Babylon. What planet do you reside on. That is almost as idealist as you saying you will not need money other than to get there. Feel your head. Or do you suppose that those who have worked and dreamed and planned for decades are wrong. You have a wealth of knowledge on this board and instead you......who knows what. Follow me....not bloody likely as you are a fraud.

    Read carefully you are not going to "find" land. It is not going to happen. So with that come expenditures. Reality check. Stressful......welcome to Babylon...you have not hit stressful yet. Ask some of those who are living the dream as they have had stress for years to even get to considering establishing what you are proposing. For the love of mike, our natives can not get land restored to them that should be and you think that a wandering band of people can? Feel your head.

    You did not answer with any positive comments or plan exactly what you plan as far as this so called future community with regards to basic living necessities that I presented. Not one viable comment on how this community will be able to not only deal with it but to cope and survive. Vision, my ass. I gave you examples of what you will need to just house and feed and your answer is it will not apply. Shake your head. You want people to band up with you based upon exactly what.

    You have not even presented how you will accomplish basic living let alone how you will hopefully with fairness govern this so called community. You had a melt down over so called comments that were questioning. I may have to give it up.....support me. Some leader. I say questioning as some are not as eloquent in type as others and it is read as a jab instead of I am asking and if you answer I will share.....your loss. Not the fault of those who instead talk plain. Guess they would be out of your commune, to your damn loss.

    No machinery......oh lord love a duck. You are going to feed the masses within a short time frame without mechanical to break, plant and harvest. I will buy that and then propose if that is the case do you then intend to strap a plough to members backs or are you going to use animals. Animals also cost money and you are going to have to feed that hide until you get a crop. Holy, members can die from this but since you opted out then if they are in cardiac arrest you can not get help for them as you would not want to use the system....Reality check...if those animals have to be bought, do or will you have the funds. Will you also be able to have enough of them to break ground when you need to. Members may not really matter so I am going to discount the death.

    Everyone pitching in to do their share is a given in a commune but reality is that man or beast can only work so hard until something gives....read health. I read another post by you on another board about cutting back on eating and what is consumed......read cult.
    You can not work a person or beast like the dickens and not sustain it with enough nutrition to make the body run or you end up with Jones town.

    Wow.....hunting. I am assuming that you plan to do that in season and with the proper government permits? Hey think Babylon just reared it's head once again.

    You are not worried about sewerage......welcome Ecoil and health. You will not be able to do this with the laws that are in place. Anyone who follows you into this is screaming cult.

    You are so far off the mark. It saddens me as reality is that without using Babylon you will not make it. In that statement I mean using it to your advantage.

    When Jesus promised to feed the masses at least he had walked on water. Instead you propose a haven that has not a promise or a logical solution to what is required on a daily basis for your followers.

    I am done posting to you.

    You have no damn clue.

    You totally glossed over basic living requirements and safety of your so called future community. Thank you for the concern for me or my family if I was of a mind to join.

    I have broke my own code on this and called you for exactly what I think you are. Bullshit.

    *note to oldwolf....if you feel this out of line then delete and ban me. Regards, but shit is shit.

    I thank you for your reply and your time reading it. With love I am answering this...please understand that as you read. I mean no harm.


    If this is a dream of yours then there is nothing stopping you from doing it for you rather than from any other place. Read.....know you and live it.

    I really think after reading your posts that you are searching and that is a good thing and one of growth. I ask that you please be careful about where you place your bed roll.

    I feel light and I hope that each time I read your posts that is what I find rather than a let down from what just is not.

    Not all of us have the gift of gab but the message is the same.....some with far more than I have to offer and for the asking it is yours. Life is funny that way as if we go past the words and read the message it hits us where it should......after pride.

    If this is your path then pursue it and live it but also with the satisfaction of knowing that it is the right one for you.

    With love and light I wish you the very best and a place to belong that fits you as I think that you could have much to offer.

    Heat, I'm sorry but I'm not going to entertain your questions or comments anymore since you want nothing but to stop us. I'm no fraud, but I wont waste anymore time trying to convince you. Call it what you wish, I don't consider it a 'cult'. Call it what you may, but if someone wishes to follow, they may, if not that is fine. I've already said that I consider the views of others, but not those who are bent on telling us it cannot be done. Or that we MUST be slaves to "Babylon" or the way of today's life.

    If anyone has a serious question in relation to this, I urge you to email me at: kevin__90@hotmail.com . It seems that simple discussion gets too heated here(pardon the pun) to the point where we are arguing instead of discussing peacefully, calling names such as 'fraud' and 'bullshit'.

    But as I said before and I'll reiterate myself, we will not enslave the animals, yes we will pull the plows ourselves. If that seems to hard for someone, then by all means, don't come, it isn't for you. If someone thinks that cutting back their eating portions to those enough ONLY to survive, then yes, this is not for you. I do not promote eating like a glutton. I respect your views, but we must agree to disagree on this it seems. By all means, if you think I'm crazy or stupid, or that I won't make a good leader, then do not follow me. If you're still interested in what we're about, check out the exodus thread as I'll be posting some new ideas soon.

    But again, may I remind you of the idigenous people of africa, south america and the amazon. We can and will make it.

    Thank you.

    Love & Peace Be With You Heat, I really hope you find peace within yourself.

    Your not going to entertain as you have no danm answers.....pure damn drivel., Who are you kidding??????

    Already have and that is why I could post to your so called dream with questions and no answers. I gave you ample time to answer with facts and instead got the same drivel.

    Hope none of the so called future members can not read and decipher drivel from articulated plans.

    I called it and am out.

    Peace......I wish it for anyone foolish enough to buy your clap trap as they are going to need it after they plough..


    You are an idiot.
    Be gone.

    You know I was willing to cut you a break and asked......you blew it. I asked and you blew off basic living for your members.

    Yeah follow me to the pits of labour and hell and hope if we do not eat we can manage. You are a fool.

    Done. You can not even put forth a plan for the basic survival of your members......what a joke.

    Some talk and some live. Stop talking as you do not do it well under questioning.

    You talk.

    "man i must say she makes kevin and changin times look mature beyond there ages"

    I may not be mature beyond my ages...but I sure am WISE beyond my ages. I've been told it by several at least (not to sound stuck on it cuz i'm not). And I'm sure that Kevin IS mature beyond his years...he definitely seems it to me, even though he sometimes takes awhile replying to private messages lol. :)

    Heat, I was heartened by your reply to me...then disgusted with your reply to Kevin. I think you owe him an apology. What you said to him was absolutely repugnant.

    Kevin, if you are in fact serious, please reply to my PM or send me an email...i gave you the address I think.

    Hey Kevin, You wanted constructive suggestions so I thought I'd give you my 2 cents. I've been living in the boondox for about two years now. We have fruit trees, (peaches, pears, apples, persimmons) berries, (strawberries, blackberries, huckleberries, gooseberries, rasberries), not to mention the grapes...Lord we have the grapes here, but aside from all that we plant all kinds of vegetables. Sounds like eden, but to tell you the truth, it's damned impossible to make it here without some suppliments. I know I've posted before that I'm not tied to a job...well, that's not exactly the entire truth. I work from time to time as a carpenter, plumber, handiman etc...I only do it when the need arises, but it arises fairly often. My wife also works part time, so between the two of us, we're busting our butts most days. Here, and in the real world.
    It was better for us last year, I had a tiller that I pieced together and was able to till up about an acre. Well, somebody stole it and I'm telling you that the doing it by hand thing sucks big time. I have a horse drawn plow, but haven't been able to borrow a plow horse and I can tell you...I sure as hell can't pull it. I'm 6' 195 lbs. and aside from dragging it backwards, I can't hardly move it. I've been doing the garden with a shovel and hoe...not fun. Not to mention that it went from an acre to about 15 x 40 ft
    I've done all kinds of research as to where you can build what and who allows compost toilets and cisterns etc...so if you want, pm me and I'll share what I know.
    Some of the other people on this forum have been living this dream too and they know from experience that when a crop fails...you go to the grocery store. we're all learning how to be as free from society as we can, but it takes time, practice and having your butt stomped in the mudd by your dream. I've almost given up several times.
    I admire the vision that you have, but I'd suggest that you take a year or two and work the land. Raise animals and practice building natural shelters. There are several farms you could spend some time on to practise your skills. I always need help here (OPEN INVITE TO THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT A SHOVEL IS) Also, with regard to the community...It's really hard to find people who are willing to put the effort into it. Really really hard. If you look up one day and realize that you're the only one left...don't be suprised
    Peace light and love

    Have I once treated you with no respect....no. In you I saw light. In him, I see a dead end with no solutions. Have you even read his other posts in other forums and asked what the hang is this about .....what more do you wish from me. Asked here and ignored all that was posted in other spots and got a bull response....I then draw my own conclusions. I waited......I asked.

    If my answer to you holds no merit other than the light I felt from your posts......disregard it and then that is ok also. I mean no harm to you or any other but live my life in my skin.
    Your opinion of me is of no matter other than what I wrote to you as that is what I feel. Do what you need to with that and I can live with it. As long as you can then we are on par.

    Take what I am as exactly what I am. I owe nobody an apology for my opinion and reply at will. Just the nature of the beast.

    Did I call for an apology on the hypocrisy of his post......nope.

    Lesson there.

    I did mean what I wrote to you and if this is your dream follow it......but do not hang onto the coat tails of someone who can not even defend themselves against questions that are logical and founded.

    Just the way it is. Take it or leave it.

    No issue with me either way.

    Do not ever call me to make an apology to another as if I have one coming it will be in bold.

    I asked and he did not respond instead he pulled party line, if I wanted party line I would ask Babylon or join an affiliated political party, not post here....... Simple. No apology, no further understanding as I stated when Jesus said he could feed the masses with nothing, he proved it. I am not going there as in life there are too many who claim and do not do so.

    You decide and that is fine with me....but do not call me on my opinion as I did not ever trash yours.

    Done

    With love and light may you find what you are seeking as I said I feel light and hope that you do find it.

    That is my final answer. I owe no one anything. Who gave you the balls to decide who I might just owe an a apology to......and who gave you permission to think so.

    "and who gave you permission to think so."

    I don't need permission. And it wasn't your opinion that I trashed...but the manner in which you spoke to Kevin, and attempted to trash his dreams. There are certain ways to convey a message. One through love and light, the other through abuse and condescension. With Kevin, you chose the latter...that's what I thought you needed to apologize for...NOT for your opinion, obviously. Or at least I thought it was obvious.

    If all it takes is me asking some questions about how he is going to accomplish this, then his dream is doomed to start with.

    I only asked about basic living. No one item I presented was not a valid point in a functioning commune. That was without going into the rank and file and how that would be organized...that I did not touch on as it is usually a bomb going off for most people as they are touchy about it.

    I asked and posted with civility and then it was you are trying to stop us? "Heat, I'm sorry but I'm not going to entertain your questions or comments anymore since you want nothing but to stop us."

    From behind a computer I am doing that? Wow.

    This is too silly and there is no plan.....just a lot of talk.

    I am not in anyway trying to stop anyone....just from this end and all that is not being answered it would appear to be a pipe dream.

    If not then, it will be interesting to see how long it can survive.

    Hope that you find a community to belong to in your future that is all that you hope for.

    Thank you as I enjoyed reading your post.

    It is a hard life at times and as you stated....you do what you have to in order to get by and still live a dream.

    no hippiehillbilly, the one that's in the streets, the parks, military recruitment centers, outside Halliburton's headquarters, and in the universities.


    I honestly wish you would leave this forum because you're making me a bit unhappy. Before you inevitably go off on your cliche'd rant about how you have a right to be in here...I agree with that. But it's not the point. I hate your attitude, I don't care for you at all personally, and I truly do wish you would go away because you are nothing but a bummer. Also, why do you even bother posting here if all you do is cause negativity? Are you a cop using the old COINTELPRO method of "divide and conquer"? If you are NOT...then you sure are utilizing some of the same techniques.

    Beeen off line for acouple of days workin on the land.....
    Let me put my $.02 in and then leave you all back to it

    Got near 60 years behind me - Was there in the days when it was much easier to "drop out of the system" - nobody ever made it stick - yes you can do it for a short period of time - but you are illegal as you procees- either by squatting on land that is not yours or by practices looked on as illegal (waste) -neventually the Man comes in and makes you move on if he's nice or locks your ass up if he's a prick.

    I do realize kevin and changin times that most have not looked at what you are trying to do with much of an open mind - probably because most have more years and have been there and done that - or in some fashion tried it.

    Baisically you are talking being homeless because unless you own the land or some one else does the front with the system to own it - Which to me is hypocritical to ask someone to do what you say you refuse to do ? - then you will be told to move on or be arrested.

    Believe it or not this has been tried before.

    Most of us older people have had our time of dreaming ans scheming to make it work - some of us still are Doing it - and as everyone is trying to tell you - it takes monumental effort and time - feels like you're working 3 jobs and at time going backwards
    Any body who's been doing it will tell you about the constant 20 steps backwards - and you better be a good part jackass as you will need the stubborness - but at least one part of you better be logical so as to See what you have to face rather than bury your head inthe sand and say - that laws will not be enforced - esp. on people who many will look on as "ber do well/shiftless".

    That said - the only way you will ever know what limits you must accept when trying to follow a dream is to DO IT - and so rather than tell you to give it up - I say go for it - the sooner the better and the more thought and foresight you put into it the better chance you will have - course that probably means listening and taking care of the challenges that people who still are Doingv it bring up and try to exprees to you - no matter how uncaring of who's feelings they hurt - they are still trying to help you See what we all have found out the hard way

    But why would any one think that this "new" generation is going to be any less bullheaded than we were ? we had to find out for ourselves and the more people came down on us the more we thought that they just did not understand or were incapable of hearing what we had to say.
    So damn let people learn their lessons - we did and no matter how much you try to tell kids what Is - they still have to find out for themselves.

    So you all have a good life whatever life presentsents to you - You are in control of your reactions whether in denial or not, and so create the continuum you live in

    And blessings be with you all on your Way

    Thank you Old Wolf, I appreciate everything you said. I think that's what Heat was trying to say in a (cough) much less eloquant way LOL.
