The Stranniki (Russian for Runaways or Wanderers) are the strong Pomorsky Old Believers who rejected prayers for Tsar Peter and all government papers (identification, passports, money, etc). They would not wear clothing contrary to Old Orthodox Russia, nor eat with those of contrary Faith and Practice. Keeping themselves separate from the antichrist society they went far into the Siberian wilderness. This blog is about these people and my effort to conform my life to theirs.

Ruin & Misery

All modern buildings are toxic and ruined
So I'm homeless
I would like to build godly shelters

All manufactured clothing has harmful chemicals
It's so miserable I'm considering wearing rags
I would like to weave healthy clothing

All food is poisoned
So I go hungry often
I wish it were allowable to have good food

All water is contaminated
So I go thirsty and rarely bathe
I'd use good spring water if accessible

More illegal drugs are on fake USA money than others
So I took a vow of poverty years ago
If there was real and clean money I'd use it more

There is no honest or safe work anymore
So I have been unemployed for many years
If I found reasonable work for trade I would

Cities and towns have the most polluted air
So I avoid them, especially the low lying areas
I wander the countryside or mountain wilderness

All worldly government is Antichrist
So it is difficult for me to participate
If it were more peaceful I would accept it more

The same goes for the following, transportation, communication, education, religion, physicians, recycling, etc. etc. etc. basically anything having to do with industrialism.
