For example, it's hard to get hunting and military rifles, and many types of ammunition are being bought up in bulk, especially military rounds. But we can't put our finger on why, exactly, we feel this way.Ī lot of weird stuff is happening that doesn't make a lot of sense. In my circle, we all feel the same thing - that the end of times may be near. I don't think God talks directly to people, but I do believe that he "whispers" to people, giving them a sense of fear or caution, and gives warnings, like earthquakes and things. But there will be a time, I do believe, when the wrath will come and the end will come, and the Book of Revelation will come true. But I do think it's a good idea to have a place to wait out hurricanes.īrent Sr.: When immorality gets to the point where we are at in our society, if God doesn't bring wrath, he removes his hand and.

The calmest person in the world will turn into a savage if he sees his baby crying and his children go hungry.

But I'm not here for that - I'm here to connect with my family. Solar flares are also a risk for EMPs.īrent II: I think the idea is completely outrageous. Nuclear explosions can create EMPs - if one was detonated in the high atmosphere, it could knock out power to one-fourth of the United States by destroying computers that run everything.

Each kid will get the castle for five weeks every year. LiveScience: What motivated you to build a castle?īrent Sr.: A man with 10 kids has a godly obligation to take care of his children, and I've set up a 100-year trust so the castle can't be sold. When they didn't, I cooled off for a couple years because I didn't want people to think I was crazy, but then got back into it. I was worried the computers that control everything, from natural gas to electricity, would go down.
