The question that comes to my mind is.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 17/02/2010 06:19:46 PM
Are people just "giving something up" or are they fasting?

After all...there is a huge difference between the two.

Non-essential internet sounds like a haaard one. Lupine - 16/02/2010 05:38:25 AM 873 Views
I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm quite good at not doing something if I have a reason. Ghavrel - 16/02/2010 05:48:34 AM 857 Views

Great Lent already began on Monday. Tom - 16/02/2010 01:45:16 PM 822 Views
So you aren't doing any of the fasts or dietary restrictions? Ghavrel - 16/02/2010 05:08:14 PM 721 Views
No, I'm not following any restrictions. Tom - 16/02/2010 09:36:52 PM 740 Views
the orthodox lent sounds similar to what Catholic Lent was >.> LadyLorraine - 16/02/2010 05:21:10 PM 748 Views
Pretty much. Tom - 16/02/2010 09:38:48 PM 990 Views
That's still on the books for Episcopalians, if I recall correctly, but as an option. Ghavrel - 16/02/2010 11:48:24 PM 779 Views
Haha, you aren't kidding! Avendesora - 16/02/2010 08:14:08 PM 842 Views
It was good to know that I could do it, though. Tom - 16/02/2010 09:39:32 PM 872 Views
I'll give up something. Kel - 16/02/2010 02:02:02 PM 711 Views
I'm not a Christian, but I've given things up in the name of Lent. The Shrike - 16/02/2010 02:20:14 PM 752 Views
It's definitely socially handy. Ghavrel - 16/02/2010 05:19:22 PM 806 Views
which is really rather sad. LadyLorraine - 16/02/2010 05:28:35 PM 790 Views
Is it weird that I really like Lent? Darth_Katie - 16/02/2010 05:21:54 PM 774 Views
Perhaps it is. But, less so than lint, I'm thinking. LiterateDog - 16/02/2010 05:25:28 PM 823 Views
I actually do enjoy cleaning lint traps in the dryer. It's fun! *NM* Darth_Katie - 16/02/2010 05:34:08 PM 434 Views
it's an adventure *NM* LadyLorraine - 17/02/2010 07:33:26 PM 419 Views
No. It's foolishness. LiterateDog - 16/02/2010 05:26:53 PM 838 Views

Your drier must be hard-core Protestant. I'm sorry. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/02/2010 11:49:15 PM 447 Views
I don't think anyone here does I guess it's not our tradition (though I'm not even Christian) *NM* Lordling - 16/02/2010 08:04:55 PM 452 Views
