    I was honestly being serious when I wrote that. Most of the general public has no idea that self sufficiency is a fundamental aspect of their religion, so they are defacto "a secret prepping society". I have family, friends, and an ex who are LDS and I hold zero negative judgment toward them.

    Your personal experience of their generosity is absolutely in line with my own and I'm sorry you had to live through such a difficult scenario to learn that about them.

    I agree with you also that I may not agree with their religious doctrine (some sure, not all though) but they are indeed humanitarians through and through.
    No worries, I just get a bit sensitive. Still have two brothers that are LDS and I'm defensive on their behalf also.

    Dad made some bad decisions financially, but it gave us the character, knowledge and ability to stand anything.

    Chalk it up to the internet being a poor translator of emotion and intent. My apologies also for overreacting.

    FYI - In the first 18 years of my life, 8 of them were spent using outhouses. 40 yard dash to the 3-holer in -40 degree blizzard in eastern MT in the middle of the night. Exillerating. Indoor plumbing is for sissy's.
