I haven't been following this girl during her fast, the first time I became aware of her was when someone posted one of her videos in this forum. I watched it and was very disturbed on several levels. I went to YouTube and watched a few more of her videos and was even more disturbed.
After watching the latest video she made I am really concerned about her well being. She has said she has been taking vitamins all along which I don't think is a good thing while fasting. She has said she's hungry in many of her videos and unless she is an exception to the rule her hunger should have gone away long ago which leads me to wonder if she isn't experiencing the return of true hunger and is ignoring it because she's fasting for God.
Throughout the videos she has said she is fasting for nothing but spiritual reasons, to be closer to God but from what she's said I have to wonder if she is listening to God at all. Its seems her husband is the one behind this fast, I don't know why I get this feeling but I've got it. He seems to be dictating what is will and will not do.
She has said she fasted for 40 days and then ate the traditional Passover meal which is lamb, bitter herbs, and unleavened bread. After fasting for 40 days I don't know how she was able to partake of Lamb and not have had many problems associated with breaking a fast with meat. Then after only a few days she went on a second fast of 40 days.
I know Jesus fasted for 40 days, it is mentioned one time in the bible, someone in this thread said that Moses fasted for 80 days back to back but I can't find any mention of that in the bible. The thing I find strange if she is fasting to be closer to God and be the kind of woman God wants her to be is why hasn't she said in one of her videos the spiritual breakthroughs she's had? In the video in this thread she doesn't look really bad but her eyes look like sunken black holes and she is speaking about fasting for God over and over again. It almost seems like this has been pounded into to her.
I don't mean any disrespect to her or anybody posting here. I know that fasting for spiritual reasons is valid. Due to the way she's talking in her videos I'm wondering if she is listening to God or if she's listening to her husband and that is a very different thing.
Anyway I'm rambling on so I'll stop now but I'm also concerned about young girls who might watch this and think its a quick route to gaining that thin body they want. I think this girl is doing something that is very dangerous and there should be warnings along with the videos she's posted.
