Melancholymuse,
The Bruce Peninsula is 150 miles long.
It would be easier to find me right now through my IP address than if I was in a remote area sleeping in a tent.
I am convinced however, that should a person have the size of faith required to leave their house and live in a tent because of what Jesus and the prophets said in the bible that he or she would have divine protection.
The bible also seems to indicate that as well as effort by each individual to heed the warnings and flee at the proper time. Angels also will be intimately involved in the process.
See Matthew Chapter 13.
Although sleeping in a tent or even a small tent community without brick walls to fall on us the scriptures indicate that a wall of sorts will in fact be around us.
Zechariah 2:3
3 And, look! the angel who was speaking with me was going forth, and there was another angel going forth to meet him. 4 Then he said to him: "Run, speak to the young man over there, saying, '"As open rural country Jerusalem will be inhabited, because of the multitude of men and domestic animals in the midst of her. 5 And I myself shall become to her," is the utterance of Jehovah, "a wall of fire all around, and a glory is what I shall become in the midst of her."'"
6 "Hey there! Hey there! Flee, then, YOU people, from the land of the north," is the utterance of Jehovah.
"For in the direction of the four winds of the heavens I have spread YOU people abroad," is the utterance of Jehovah.
7 "Hey there, Zion! Make your escape, you who are dwelling with the daughter of Babylon. 8 For this is what Jehovah of armies has said, 'Following after [the] glory he has sent me to the nations that were despoiling YOU people; for he that is touching YOU is touching my eyeball.
A wall of Fire!
These will be the people who are loyal to Jesus and do not permit themselves to be induced into undermining his laws and mocking Jehovah to his face inside his own temple everytime someone new is baptised.

Polemotheos,
It is the ones who have undermined Jesus Christs Law and treated Jehovah with disrespect who will be naked.
Nahum 2
13 "Look! I am against you," is the utterance of Jehovah of armies, "and I will burn up her war chariot in the smoke. And a sword will devour your own maned young lions. And I will cut off from the earth your prey, and no more will the voice of your messengers be heard."
3 Woe to the city of bloodshed. She is all full of deception [and] of robbery. Prey does not depart! 2 There is the sound of [the] whip and the sound of the rattling of [the] wheel, and the dashing horse and the leaping chariot. 3 The mounted horseman, and the flame of [the] sword, and the lightning of [the] spear, and the multitude of slain ones, and the heavy mass of carcasses; and there is no end to the dead bodies. They keep stumbling among their dead bodies; 4 owing to the abundance of the acts of prostitution of the prostitute, attractive with charm, a mistress of sorceries, she who is ensnaring nations by her acts of prostitution and families by her sorceries.
5 "Look! I am against you," is the utterance of Jehovah of armies, "and I will put the covering of your skirts over your face, and I will cause nations to see your nakedness, and kingdoms your dishonor.
Also the anointed who treat what is presently happening with indifference and believe that Jehovah will do nothing concerning his legal case with their disloyalty and spiritual fornication.
Revelation 3
14 "And to the angel of the congregation in La·o·di·ce´a write: These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God, 15 'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or else hot. 16 So, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth. 17 Because you say: "I am rich and have acquired riches and do not need anything at all," but you do not know you are miserable and pitiable and poor and blind and naked, 18 I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire that you may become rich, and white outer garments that you may become dressed and that the shame of your nakedness may not become manifested, and eyesalve to rub in your eyes that you may see.
They are already naked however, they do not presently believe it.

Are you anointed? - 2005/11/25 09:01The anointed know what the truth is in regards to Jesus Christs Baptismal Commands and the importance of keeping these laws.
They should be faithful enduring in these things which Jesus commanded..
Revelation 14:12
12 Here is where it means endurance for the holy ones, those who observe the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”
Instead the anointed participate with an organization who have willfully changed Jesus Christ's Law, mocking Jehovah to his face inside his own temple. They are well aware of the scripture contained in Matthew Chapter 28 regarding this and therefore have an accurate knowledge.
Hebrew 10:26
26 For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, 27 but [there is] a certain fearful expectation of judgment and [there is] a fiery jealousy that is going to consume those in opposition. 28 Any man that has disregarded the law of Moses dies without compassion, upon the testimony of two or three. 29 Of how much more severe a punishment, do YOU think, will the man be counted worthy who has trampled upon the Son of God and who has esteemed as of ordinary value the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who has outraged the spirit of undeserved kindness with contempt? 30 For we know him that said: “Vengeance is mine; I will recompense”; and again: “Jehovah will judge his people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of [the] living God.
Who are those in opposition?
2 Thessalonians
4 He is set in opposition and lifts himself up over everyone who is called “god” or an object of reverence, so that he sits down in the temple of The God, publicly showing himself to be a god.
If you are an anointed one who continues showing loyalty to the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses and the men they installed in the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society you fall into the category of men described in Hebrews Chapter 10 above.
You will also be one of the ones who Jesus aptly spoke about in the first century.
Others will receive your marriage garment:
Matthew 8
But I tell YOU that many from eastern parts and western parts will come and recline at the table with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens; 12 whereas the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the darkness outside. There is where [their] weeping and the gnashing of [their] teeth will be.”
Your garment represents the condition of your own person.
Are you truthfull?
If yes, then you know what I say above is true.
Are you loyal?
If yes, then you would keep Jesus Christ's commandments and not associate yourselves with those who would undermine his laws. The lawless ones.
Then perhaps you would have your marriage garment:
Ephesian 4:24
YOU heard him and were taught by means of him, just as truth is in Jesus, 22 that YOU should put away the old personality which conforms to YOUR former course of conduct and which is being corrupted according to his deceptive desires; 23 but that YOU should be made new in the force actuating YOUR mind, 24 and should put on the new personality which was created according to God’s will in true righteousness and loyalty.
Are you celebrating the Memorial of Jesus Christ's death inside the same arrangement that undermines his sovereignty by changing his commandments?
You are drinking with the drunkards!
Matthew 24:48
48But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,' 49and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
If you really do have accurate knowledge it is these things which, you should be on your guard against:
Peter 2:3
17 YOU, therefore, beloved ones, having this advance knowledge, be on YOUR guard that YOU may not be led away with them by the error of the law-defying people and fall from YOUR own steadfastness. 18 No, but go on growing in the undeserved kindness and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him [be] the glory both now and to the day of eternity.
Have you been led away?
Are you giving glory to the GB and WTBTS ?
or
to our King Jesus Christ.
Where really is your true loyalty?
You don't believe what I am saying?
I hear the sound of teeth gnashing!

Do you know someone anointed? - 2005/11/26 03:15The kindest thing you could do for them is to help them understand what I have written above.

More on the Earthquake. - 2005/11/28 04:44I was reading in Isaiah again last night however, this time the verses took on new meaning as a result of determining that the end would start with an extensively large earthquake.
For example when Isaiah is commisioned he asks how long to prophecy.
Jehovah's answer now seems incredibly profound:
Isaiah 6
Go, and you must say to this people, ‘Hear again and again, O men, but do not understand; and see again and again, but do not get any knowledge.’ 10 Make the heart of this people unreceptive, and make their very ears unresponsive, and paste their very eyes together, that they may not see with their eyes and with their ears they may not hear, and that their own heart may not understand and that they may not actually turn back and get healing for themselves.”
11 At this I said: “How long, O Jehovah?” Then he said: “Until the cities actually crash in ruins, to be without an inhabitant, and the houses be without earthling man, and the ground itself is ruined into a desolation; 12 and Jehovah actually removes earthling men far away, and the deserted condition does become very extensive in the midst of the land. 13 And there will still be in it a tenth, and it must again become something for burning down, like a big tree and like a massive tree in which, when there is a cutting down [of them], there is a stump; a holy seed will be the stump of it.”
The cities crash in ruins
Jehovah actually removes earthling men far away
From what I have posted in the thread above the conclusion after reading this scripture remains the same.
There will be an extensive earthquake.
Jehovah will save some people by removing them from the cities prior to the quake.
Far away to open rural country.
These are the ones who will escape.
It is in these places where the true Jerusalem or Mount Zion, the Mountains of Jehovah will be established. People will not be sheltered in their former houses.
Isaiah Chapter 4 convinces me of this:
2 In that day what Jehovah makes sprout will come to be for decoration and for glory, and the fruitage of the land will be something to be proud of and something beautiful for those of Israel who have escaped. 3 And it must occur that the ones remaining in Zion and the ones left over in Jerusalem will be said to be holy to him, everyone written down for life in Jerusalem.
4 When Jehovah will have washed away the excrement of the daughters of Zion and he will rinse away even the bloodshed of Jerusalem from within her by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning down, 5 Jehovah will also certainly create over every established place of Mount Zion and over her convention place a cloud by day and a smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; because over all the glory there will be a shelter. 6 And there will come to be a booth for a shade by day from the dry heat, and for a refuge and for a hiding place from the rainstorm and from the precipitation.
Isn't a "booth" the same thing as a tent or wigwam or teepee?
The scripture above convince me further that the ones who escape the earthquake will be living in tent cities immediately before and also after the earthquake happens.
The scripture also gives me reason for comfort that not many people will be receptive to what I am saying or understand it.
Only the ones written in "the book of life".
The verse of the day posted on this same web site also gives me much comfort and direction in this regard:
Philippians 1:27
Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved--and that by God.
It often does seem that I am the only man who is announcing these things.
The scriptures do indicate however, that a small remnant will be saved.
They will be the ones who are loyal to Jesus and are not led away by the law-defying people:
The GB and the WTBTS.
