Are you sure that's not ringworm and not poison ivy? Its supposed to be a food fast not a shower fast lol...... just kiddin. One question, did you have any supernatural revelations in dreams while awake etc??

[boobtubious]

LOL! Nothing supernatural. I did feel that God spoke to me about many things though, that happens when you talk to Him more.

what is the point of fasting

[boobtubious]

It depends. My point was to focus more on God.

Have you read any good books on fasting and if so, could you suggest a few? Last question..., are you hungry yet? More power to you, and enjoy your meal when you do break the fast :)¸

[boobtubious]

I read a book about Spiritual Discipline of fasting, and a number of web sites, google it and you'll find plenty of reading material. I broke the fast at the end of lent you can watch that video too! :)

There is no medical science behind what you said concerning poison ivy. You are making that up I think. But congrats on your fast.

I liked your impersonation of "AL PACINO" at the very beginning...I really had to watch it a couple of times....wow.............LOL..­...teasing of course.

[Ears14U]

Hey, I really want to know if you had that diagnosed by a real PHD? You obviously are probably catholic. Are you sure that what is on your arm isn't a STIGMATA?

That looked like a cross to me! LOL.

[Ears14U]

Hate to be the one to inform you, but LENT, ash wednesday, good friday, and easter are NOT scriptural at all. All are forms of PAGANISM. The only one that Jesus Christ observed was PASSOVER. Read your history. That goes for Christmass, the ST.'s days etc. All comes out of the romish catholic church. Even the sick fathers that molested , and probably continue to molest children!

lol that's ringworm you nasty mofo

fasting is a discipline just like any other discipline like karate or jUdo. Fasting makes you more spiritually aware especially when you pray. I have seen angels in the heights above heights flying when on a fast. Everybody should try fasting and prayer. It builds faith.

@wubbadubdub Fasting can help you detoxify in a certain sense.. Assuming youre an overfed american full of bad bacteria, youll get something called Herxheimer Reaction if you're a science head. Fasting for 40 days is actually called starvation, haha. But short term fasts of 1-2 days is quite benifical, try it! It sucks at first but you feel pretty great afterwards.

[wubbadubdub]

uh, it is not true that fasting helps you detoxify. in fact, it leads to toxification, as in ketoacidosis. and it's certainly not true that poison ivy becomes stored in your body, only to be released later. what is more likely to occur is viral reactivation secondary to starvation (like shingles). weakening your immune system and thereby allowing a latent virus to come out of latency has absolutely no benefits. fasting is totally counterproductive with respect to health.
