what's a really good movie you'd recommend that most people probably haven't seen?.

are there jws who prepare for the tribulations they assume are around the corner?

when i visted the us once in 1999 i met a few guys who were expecting a global meltdown due to the millenium bug.. as a consequence they had generators, guns, ammo, tins of food, bottled water, fuel, all kinds of stuff to help them through a civil disorder situation.

does anyone know or remember any jws who have prepared like this?
