Do people still give up things for lent?? I gave up coffee, my dad gave up sweets, & my mom gave up going back to bed after Dad leaves for work

Well being that the "Season of Lent" is not based in scripture and is a rite and rituals established under Catholicism, I ain't givin up nothin! Sorry. (lol)

Dang, Bishop!

Give a sistah a break.....I'm not saying giving up things (sacrificing) is a Biblical command, nor am I denying the fact that this practice has its roots in Catholicisim. Just askin' a question, dude!

I almost said the same thing as Bishop! LOL!

Why give up a bad habit for a season and then reclaim willfully it? LOL!

Not to mention doing all kinds of other crap while you're giving up your one thing temporarily.

Edit: Many, not all.

I gave up nada.

Usually my old church had a fast around this time, even though they were apostolic. They never mentioned lent, but just a fast. Alas, Im not there, so no I did not participate.

LadyWiz · « **Reply #12 on:** March 06, 2007, 07:44:59 PM »

Given these replies, that leads me to another question: does anyone's church recognize this particular season (Lent) leading up to Easter (or Resurrection Day)?

T-Block · « **Reply #13 on:** March 06, 2007, 07:58:47 PM »

I ain't giving up nothing. My church as a whole doesn't recognize it, but there are a few people in the church who do.
