This is a Mormon practice! In fact, there are Mormon owed companies that made a killing on the Y2K panic

Toilet paper a waste of money and time , all you need is a sponge and some soapy water , actually works better than toilet paper .

My JW father-in-law has about 500 rolls of toilet paper in his garage. I figured he was stockpiling it for the entire congregation.
Probably not a bad idea considering how full of shit they are.

All of his family are Witnesses. They told him they are "storing and stocking up" on powdered milk and non-perishable items

I finally got to use one of my favorite movie lines when I said...."I guess you can't make fun of my lifestlye anymore."
Tremors! Right on Justice One. I love that movie.

I am on a committee at work (medium sized midwest hospital) for emergency preparedness. The potential for a flu pandemic has caused us to stockpile oxygen delivery supplies, IV fluids, etc and have plans for deciding ethical issues like "who gets the last ventilator?" The public education slogan is "Stock up and stay home." The federal government has funded huge plans for mass medicating and distribution, as part of the Homeland Security plans.
So actually, religious groups are encouraged to have their members prepare for a minimum 3 day crisis (storms, etc) and a 3 month quarantine (flu epidemic, war, etc).
Of course, you won't find reference to armaggedon or tribulation.
My elderly parents have paid attention to my urgings to stockpile non-perishables 'just in case'. Of course, here on the fringe of tornado alley and having lived through the depression, they are fine with that. Actually comes in handy--Dad's got tons of toilet paper and canned soup!

If they keep them over night, won't they get worms in them? I mean, this makes me think of the lack of faith the Israelites displayed when they would keep the manna over night.

back before 1975 there was a local elder who was stockpiling bags of beans and rice and other things he considered to be essentials. i often wonder what happened to all of that....whether he eventually made use of his stockpile or if it went to rats or mildew and mold or whatever......
