I just read a report that a large group of LDS members have connected the dots and are preparing for the next great global upheaval to occur in the next couple of weeks. I like to prepared as much as the next guy and I look at things like this with "interest", without being compelled to action more so than usual. If you look, you'll find any number of prophets claiming TEOTWAWKI pretty much daily and for any number of reasons. I was just wondering if anyone had any insight as to what has the LDS members putting the stake in the ground. Is this just run of the mill, or is there some basis in fact (beyond the everyday understanding that the world is a mess and getting messier).
