THE WOOD ZONE: WHY YOU SHOULD STOCK UP ON INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULBS

THIS BLOG ATTEMPTS TO SHOW HOW SCIENCE IS CATCHING UP WITH REVEALED RELIGION

THIS BLOG IS AN ATTEMPT TO PUT ALL THE COOL STUFF THAT I BUMP INTO ABOUT THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AND EVENTS THAT LEAD UP TO IT INTO ONE LOCATION.
THE CONTENTS WILL BE FROM AN LDS PERSPECTIVE. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ANYTHING IN HERE, I DO NOT PARTICULARLY CARE TO ARGUE, UNLESS YOU CAN ADD TO THIS BODY OF WORK. I HAVE AN OPEN MIND, THAT IS WHY I READ STUFF FROM ALL DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND SEEK LEARNING FROM THE BEST BOOKS. I JUST AM NOT HERE TO ARGUE ABOUT IT - BUT TO PUT IT OUT THERE WHERE OTHERS CAN PERUSE/PURSUE IT. I TAKE PARTICULAR INTEREST IN HONEST SEEKERS OF TRUTH AND BELIEVE THAT SCIENCE IS REVEALED RELIGION'S BEST ALLY. YOU WILL SEE ALOT OF TOPICS IN THIS BLOG THAT SHOW SCIENCE BACKING - AND SLOWLY CATCHING UP WITH - REVEALED RELIGION.
ENJOY!!

WHY YOU SHOULD STOCK UP ON INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULBS

If I were you, I would stock up on incandescent bulbs as I am not so sure the common CF bulbs will survive an EMP attack. The new bulbs have a circuit board whose electrical traces may not be able to withstand certain kinds of EMP - even when disconnected from a light circuit, or in one which is not energized. I would rather have a watt-hogging bulb that provides light in critical circumstances, than one that is more efficient (would not wear your electrical storage devices down as quickly), but which does not work when light is a must.

I have several kinds of inverters - the critical ones which are stored in a Faraday cage (a $22 metal garbage can with a tight-fitting metal lid) in the garage. If batteries are available - and a means of charging them exists, then you will have light when you need it.

I will try and provide more info on what I am talking about as time goes on. All I can say is, think about living without power for a little while. Without an easy source of lighting at night, kids will get antsy. If anyone knows of a source of 12VDC night lights, I would love to know of them - and that would eliminate the need to run an inverter (with a fan on it) while getting light.

Here is the article:

This might seem silly, but, what I do for extra lightening is solar. Ya know the individual decorative post lightening you line your pathways, walkways, flower gardens with? Well, I have those on my balcony for the sole purpose of lightening when I have no electricity. Since I don't have a yard, I just take the individual lights (they are the stick kind) and I sit them between the slats and they charge by the sun. This summer past, we had a bad storm that knocked the power out. It was dark out, but, because I had my solar stick lights I got out my cheap skinny tall vases put a solar light stick in it and had about 3 of them in the living room and it lit the room up really pretty well. When I took them into the kitchen I was able to wash dishes without any problem. Then, when daylight comes, you just take them back outside for a recharge and they are ready go the next time you need them. It may be silly, but, they are inexpensive and they work rather well. Just a thought!

What about LED lighting? Any thoughts on them?

Katie, when I was on remote with just an inverter and a string of 10 LED flood lights, I ran all night long on a very small car battery without turning the car on. Excellent stuff. Like everything else that has a printed circuit board, I would put it in a Faraday cage in anticipation of the big one.... I replaced some half million dollar Panasonic entertainment units on a 777 when there was just the threat of having ESDS (electrostatic discharge) due to improper handling of the units outside their electro-static transportation bags. The traces would burn just off the shock if the installer were not properly wrist-strap grounded. Most electronics are fragile to say the least.....

WHY SHOULD WE STUDY THE HIDDEN THINGS RELATED TO THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST?

But the Latter-day Saints are not in darkness; they are the children of light, although many of us will actually be asleep. We shall have to wake up and trim up our lamps, or we shall not be prepared to enter in; for we shall all slumber and sleep in that day, and some will have gone to sleep from which they will not awake until they awake up in darkness without any oil in their lamps. But, as a general thing, the Saints will understand the signs of the times. Others have their eyes closed upon the prophecies of the ancient Prophets; and not only that, but they are void of the spirit of prophecy themselves. When a man has this, though he may appeal to ancient Prophets to get understanding on some subjects he does not clearly understand, yet, as he has the spirit of prophecy in himself, he will not be in darkness; he will have a knowledge of the signs of the times; he will have a knowledge of the house of Israel, and of Zion, of the ten tribes and of many things and purposes and events that are to take place on the earth; and he will see coming events, and can say such an event will take place, and after that another, and then another; and after that the trumpet shall sound, and after that certain things will take place, and then another trump shall sound, &c., &c.; and he will have his eye fixed on the signs of the times, and that day will not overtake him unawares.

JD, O PRATT 7:190

JOSEPH SMITH SAID THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING AND WAITING, WILL KNOW THE HOUR:

"Christ says no man knoweth the day or the hour when the Son of Man cometh. This is a sweeping argument for sectarianism against Latter day ism. Did Christ speak this as a general principle throughout all generations Oh no he spoke in the present tense no man that was then liveing upon the footstool of God knew the day or the hour But he did not say that there was no man throughout all generations that should not know the day or the hour. No for this would be in flat contradiction with other scripture for the prophet says that God will do nothing but what he will reveal unto his Servants the prophets consequently if it is not made known to the Prophets it will not come to pass; again we find Paul 1st of Thesslonians 5th Chapter expressly points out the characters who shall not know the day nor the hour when the Son of Man cometh for says he it will come upon them as the theif or unawares. Who are they they are the children of darkness or night. But to the Saints he says yea are not of the night nor of darkness of that that day should come upon you unawares. John the revelator says 14 chap 7th verse that the hour of his judgements is come they are precursers or forerunners of the comeing of Christ. read Matthew 24 Chap and all the Prophets. He says then shall they see the Sign of the comeing of the Son of Man in the clouds of Heaven. How are we to see it Ans. As the lighting up of the morning or the dawning of the morning cometh from the east and shineth unto the west—So also is the comeing of the Son of Man. The dawning of the morning makes its appearance in the east and moves along gradualy so also will the comeing of the Son of Man be. it will be small at its first appearance and gradually becomes larger untill every eye shall see it. Shall the Saints understand it Oh yes. Paul says so. Shall the wicked understand Oh no they attribute it to a natural cause. They will probably suppose it is two great comets comeing in contact with each other It will be small at first and will grow larger and larger untill it will be all in a blaze so that every eye shall see it." (Joseph Smith, General Conference, April 6, 1843
