Statement on Survival - Published in 1983 Pearls of Wisdom

The Messengers are staunch proponents of survival and have conducted seminars on total preparedness for cataclysm, economic collapse, or the eventuality of nuclear war. The Royal Teton Ranch is the base provided by Keepers of the Flame for a spiritual retreat and self-sufficient community of devotees prepared to meet the challenges of this century—come what may—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Members of Church Universal and Triumphant are dedicated to the principles of survival and have vowed to survive. They have a very thorough understanding of the necessities and precautions which must be taken in the face of the uncertainties of world conditions. They are neither escapists nor espousers of a doomsday consciousness. They are simply willing to face realities and to deal with them out of their own self-knowledge and heart-tie to God.
They….keep on doing what they have been doing for 20 years—what the governments of the West have not done for their people and what but a few churches have done: to provide a place of safety for their families and their community and to be ready to face any emergency with calmness and a well-planned and well-rehearsed alternative in the face of life-threatening dangers.
