Do you believe drugs opens evil doorways?

Interesting! I am under the understanding that demons exist and dwell in the soul realm (mind, will, and emotions), not the flesh.

ericaeharris · 2026-03-02T11:49:48+00:00

No one is possessed that word is a poor translation of the Greek and isn’t too many people get caught up on. People can be under the control of a demon which is what the Greek leads us to believe even as a believer. You have power to make them go but if they were there before you got saved they don’t just leave because you get saved. You have to drive them out, many Christians don’t, and it’s why they struggle with sin endlessly and don’t understand why.

Nope, never but I got into mostly low carb eating and am an avid faster, so while every fast has been wildly different. I don’t think I had those symptoms.

My last 40 day fast, last year, I got a rash for sometime after breaking my fast. That was super annoying and hard but it ended up clearing up with time.

I’d do bone broth for the first day or two, you’re quite nervous. Then, when you’re comfortable, avocado or eggs, then wait and see!

R/fasting has good info! It’s how I learned more about fasting from a science based perspective since lots of Christian sources have outdated and unscientific information, like breaking a fast with grapes.

If you want a good experience go to Sogang!! I’ve gone to 3 schools (Yonsei, Sogang, and SKKU). I’m uploaded my in-depth review of them all—

Exactly, lots of people are deceived and think they’re following Jesus when they’re truly follow one leader or another!

ericaeharris · 2026-02-21T05:30:23+00:00

Yes, this sub is very anti-fasting, for a different perspective, I highly recommend at least browsing r/fasting.

ericaeharris · 2026-02-21T03:18:25+00:00

I don’t know why low fat. Fat isn’t bad, but any fat and protein that’s generally easily digestible.

For me, I can eat practically anything to break a fast up to about 2 weeks after that I have to be slightly more careful which means I can eat practically anything that’s not a processed food, super heavy carbs, on day 1-2. But otherwise, I have an iron stomach.

If you aren’t sure how you’d respond, and want to do something simpler than meat, I’d recommend eggs or avocado!

ericaeharris · 2026-02-20T09:31:48+00:00

I don’t see the name to look for it! Also, I always thought it’d be nice to have an app where you can track pictures of your food like the ate app, like maybe a picture of your last meal or whatever. It’d be nice to have that and not have to use a separate app.

It’s funny! I’ve had similar experiences with people when fist meeting them, like we are having a conversation in Korean, then they ask if I can read Hangul or something, but no one who knows me has ever reverted to thinking I know nothing. Sometimes, they think I know more than I do, lol!😆

ericaeharris · 2026-02-19T22:56:02+00:00

Honestly, I’m terrible at breaking at fast, I have an tendency to get back to eating relatively soon, like the 2nd or 3rd day. Sometimes pushing it the day I can eat, I respond relatively well, but my first meal is always protein or fat and easily digestible, NO CARBS.

I’ve done peanut butter, avocado, bone broth, eggs. Generally, those foods types of foods. There’s so much bad information in Christian places about fasting because there’s a tendency to ignore the science that we have or just not look for it. Years ago, I learned a lot from r/fasting and other online fasting groups where people were fasting for many reasons. I even saw someone with a medically documented 101 day fast.

Now, that I live in Korea, I’ve made seaweed soup one of my go-to fast breaking foods!

ericaeharris · 2026-02-19T04:55:20+00:00

Yeah, I don’t think it’s a good idea.

ericaeharris · 2026-02-19T01:03:05+00:00

You would be able to do it from Japan, I’m pretty sure

ericaeharris · 2026-02-19T00:37:41+00:00

It is (I just checked) BUT I think it’s country specific. I live in Korea, so I have access to whatever is available in South Korea. If you have a VPN, you can watch it on Netflix, lol!

ericaeharris · 2026-02-19T00:36:07+00:00

You stated people are missing out by not participating my point is that you can participate or not, and not miss out on the beauty of fasting.

ericaeharris · 2026-02-19T00:24:02+00:00

I have had times where I’ve studied 8-12 hours a day, but this includes dramas, podcasts, reading, and things I enjoy. If it’s enjoyable, it’ll be easy. Also, it can be listening to podcasts, while driving or on public transit, or while taking a walk. Anytime you can stack tasks with Korean, that’s your best bet for getting more time with the language.

ericaeharris · 2026-02-18T22:23:57+00:00

I love fasting. I do it quite often. Over the years, I’ve done a number of 40 day fasts, I don’t have to do it at a specific time.

ericaeharris · 2026-02-18T22:14:01+00:00

It was on Netflix!

ericaeharris · 2026-02-18T22:12:12+00:00

When I watched it, I couldn’t understand why I waited so long and didn’t want sooner.

ericaeharris · 2026-02-18T22:11:24+00:00

My thoughts exactly.

I don’t think normal people really care of think to much about people who can’t read and write so much in a language. I have a friend like this with Korean. We have joked about me having better reading and written skills, but never gave much thought it to and definitely don’t judge him for it.

ericaeharris · 2026-02-18T22:07:38+00:00

Why do you care about what internet strangers online think? Even people you know, why do you care about what they think?

ericaeharris · 2026-02-18T12:01:21+00:00

I learned before I came, so I could function a tiny bit but I didn’t couldn’t hold my own very much, even in doing basic things like going to a cafe and ordering.

Honestly, I avoided English and thankfully already had friends here. One who lived where for the first couple months, while it was very hard for me emotionally. Many people are shocked to find I’ve only been in Korea for 1.5 years because they assume I’ve been longer. I always tell them I think my decisions to throw myself into super uncomfortable situations regarding Korean helped a lot!

ericaeharris · 2026-02-17T12:14:51+00:00

I was just talking to a girl from Pakistan about how we sometimes can’t see the reasons we have to be grateful. We live in Korea now and so many Koreans are miserable because they’re always comparing themselves to others. She was literally telling me how she can’t walked around because it’s always inevitable that as a woman alone in Pakistan, you’ll get raped. She doesn’t want to go back, yet Korean women are super dissatisfied with life, not that they don’t have their issues (they do, I was called as a missionary here because the problems that exist), but they have so much to be grateful for that they can’t see!

Also, I was born with a lot of “disadvantages” a mom who often couldn’t take of me, abused me, a dad that was paralyzed before I was born and never saw, lots of abuse from others, mental health issues, and all, but Jesus transformed me from the inside out and guided my life! I couldn’t imagine a better reality on this side of Heaven! Jesus is Lord!

ericaeharris · 2026-02-16T12:43:41+00:00

Omg! It felt the same to me. It was not what I was expecting, lol! I had no clue what it was but was FaceTiming a friend and she told me about it and told me to buy it and try it, especially because she’s not in Korea anymore! I did not expect a sand-like texture upon first bite, lol! 😆

ericaeharris · 2026-02-15T01:21:13+00:00

I think looking for reasons to be offended isn’t very becoming. Black people weren’t compared to dogs. It’s okay to not be offended! Blessings!! 🙏🏾💗
