…. Hoping to do a 40 day fast. Any recommendations on what to do re the social aspect?

I’m worried about the peer pressure to eat I’ll be experiencing over the next 39 days. (It’s been 24 hours since starting). A lot of social activities revolve around food catch-ups in some way or another.

Do I say I already ate? Do I say I’m fasting without telling them logistics (how long for/how long it’s been)? Just say no to food with no explanation?

Should I only tell a few trusted ppl and hide it from others?

Any recommendations on how to best handle this? I don’t want to be pressured to eat.

Anyone else escape recruitment from ‘The Shincheonji Church of Jesus’? I just saw an article headline about a Bible study cult thinking ‘can this be the same one I left?’ and sure enough it was the one I left last year!!!

I lasted about a month of the 3 weekly sessions but from working full time, socialising and meeting their requirements I got burnout (& they were very unsympathetic, ‘surely God will energise you this is the most important thing don’t give in to Satan’s spirit’ etc). Thankfully a Japan trip kinda ruined the timing as they were trying to pressure me to see the sessions whilst away, yet refusing to send the recordings unless I watched live and I pretty much calmed them out (possibly accidentally live during one of the Japan sessions) as a cult.
