Should I give up posting on DU for lent?
Edited on Tue Feb-08-05 04:45 PM by Tweed
I'm thinking about. It would be a huge sacrifice. I'm not sure if I could give up the Illinois Forum though. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=150

4. Yes, I think for Lent that you are
supposed to make a *huge* sacrifice. Look at all the suffering Christ went through. How could not posting on DU even compare?

I think it would be an excellent test of and testament to your faith.

5. NO! I tried it! 2 years ago
Dear God, I would rather give up Jack Daniels.

AND, I was back on in a week, cause Bush did something stupid. He just handed his insane Budget to Kill America to congress...and you are thinking of leaving now?

Pick chocolate.

7. You can accomplish it with God's help.
I gave up caffeine once.

Go for it!

8. The first step is admitting you have a problem.
Cold turkey, my friend. It is the only way.

9. Give up French fries, or cursing, or red meat
Something that will IMPROVE your life, while also counting as a sacrifice. Don't give up something that make life in Bush's America bearable

Do you know who would WANT to you to do something like that? Something that would make life less bearable?

That's right SATAN

It's supposed to be a sacrifice that is not an easy one to make. So if you were to give up posting on DU, you'd have to give up the Illinois forum as well, as that would be the most difficult part of it (according to your post).

Hey, I didn't make the rules. I just had to live it for 20 some odd years. :D

11. True, if I gave up anything, it would have to be the Illinois forum
This would be tough.
