people do it as part of their religion. He then proceeds to talk about our church, by saying that our church tells us to have 12 months worth of food storage. I never heard about a 12 month requirement, I always thought it was 72 hours or something like that. I checked the church's website, and it isn't too helpful. It basically says a week, then work up to 3 months, but then it has talks about for longer time periods. Has this been very inconsistent? I know people in the church have believed the second coming would probably be in their lifetime since the pioneers, but have we really ever said 12 months of food storage?
