From experience there is usually a 3 to 4 hour buffet break in between the two services.
HAHAHA!!!! Now THAT I might believe!

Evelyn Boyd's husband of 33 years, John Boyd started a Bartow Pentecostal church in 2003. At Higher Praise Full Gospel Ministries, Sunday services last from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. They are loud and boisterous, and a nearby antique store owner said congregation members were known to fast.
Did anyone else catch this?
yes. felt ashamed. 45 minutes in church twice a month is more than enough for me.
Yeah, I agree. But what about you....or the others....what were the "rules" of your fasts? We weren't allowed food OR water. Brutal. I went to work once on the second day of a food & water fast and nearly passed out numerous times.
Like I said, fasting isn't harped on in our church, so there aren't any "rules". When fasting has been discussed, it seems that nearly everyone drinks water.
Fasting is pretty much considered a private thing. We have occasional fast days where people can fast 'corporately' if they choose to, but there is no pressure. And no rules are ever laid out.

Full Gospel isn't 'our' brand of Pentecostal, is it?

Now wait a minute.....in your other posts where you slam the heck outta me, you sound like Joe Churchboy. What gives?
The twice a month- was TIC. And where did I slam you? You have to remind me. I don't take 99 percent of what I and others post so seriously. This is the net. Don't know many here on a personal basis. etc.

I was recently devastated by what you said to me, In fact, I haven't eaten in four days. I think I'm gonna go ahead and call it a fast.

Yep. Sounds like one of the most Pentecostal churches around!
