	Fast offering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fast offering is the term used in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to denote money or usable commodities donated to the church in order to help the needy.
		Members are encouraged to fast once a month on Fast Sunday and to give the money they save by not eating two meals to the church; those who can afford to be more generous are encouraged to give more than simply the money saved as a fast offering.
		Specifically, fast offerings are used to provide food, shelter, clothing, and other things for those who are in need, fulfilling the meaning conveyed in Isaiah 58:6-11, with attendant blessings to the giver and the receiver.

	Buying A Fast Food Franchise
		The FTC Rule defines a prospective fast food franchisee as any person who approaches or who is approached by the franchisor or fast food franchise broker or any of their representatives, agents or employees for the purpose of discussing the establishment, or possible establishment of a fast food franchise relationship.
		The entire fast food franchise package that is presented to a prospective fast food franchisee often implies that the fast food franchisee will derive profit in excess of his initial fee, and therefore may amount to a representation that the marketing program will enable the purchaser to derive income exceeding the price paid.
		The fast food franchise administrator generally is also the state enforcement officer, and an administrator's resolution of various issues relating to the fast food franchise offering can give the franchisor some degree of comfort that the offering circular complies with state law.

	The Blessings of a Proper Fast
		We are taught that there are three aspects to a proper fast day observance: first, abstaining from food and drink for two consecutive meals or, in other words, 24 hours; second, attending fast and testimony meeting; and third, giving a generous fast offering.
		Although there is no Church standard for fasting, except that it should be for 24 hours and two meals, we have found a spiritual advantage in attending fast and testimony meeting toward the end of the fast.
		If fasting is discussed and planned in a family setting, the small children will be aware that their parents and older siblings are fasting, and they will understand the purpose of the fast.

	Times & Seasons » Quadrupling Fast Offerings
		I understand that collecting fast offerings door to door fulfills a few functions such as helping us check up on less involved church members who may not be visited any other way, or helping less active members who wish to donate make their donations.
		In theory, fast offerings are not used to pay consumer debt, but members often get food from the storehouse or other help and then use their regular income to keep creditors at bay.
		Fast Offering is not really about the money, except it takes money to feed needy people and drive deacons who live in wards far from Utah all over tarnation; a practice our ward does not do, thank goodness.

	Fasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fasting is generally considered by Buddhists as a form of asceticism and as such is rejected as a deviation from the Middle way.
		Fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the Pillars of Islam, and thus one of the most important acts of Islamic worship.
		Fasting is not considered the primary means of acquiring atonement; rather, sincere regret for and rectification of wrongdoing is key (see Isaiah, 58:1-13, which appropriately is read as the haftorah on Yom Kippur).

	40 Types of Fast
		Fast is of forty different types: ten are as obligatory as the fast of the month of Ramadan; ten are prohibited; fourteen are optional: one may fast during them or he may not; add to that the three different kinds of conditional fast.
		"And the fast on account of causing an injury to the head while shaving it while performing the pilgrimage rites is also obligatory; Allah Almighty says, 'Whoever among you is sick or has an ailment of the head, he (should effect) a compensation by fasting or offering alms or sacrificing' (Holy Qur'an, 2:196).
		Likewise, if one is forced due to a sudden ailment to break his fast at the inception of the day, then he gains his strength thereafter, he should fast the rest of the day as a self-disciplinary act although he is not obligated to do so.

	Ask Gramps » How much should we donate as fast offerings?
		If we pay excessive fast offerings, anticipating added blessings from the Lord, and in so doing, sacrifice in any degree the welfare of our children, the Lord will undoubtedly not be pleased, as by our actions we will assuredly produce more harm than good.
		If we hear from our local authorities to ‘double our fast offering’ and do so, we will be blessed for our obedience to counsel.
		However, I am sure that if we keep hearing this counsel and keep doubling our fast offerings each time we hear it, we soon won’t have enough money to take care of any other responsibility, or even to keep ‘obediently’ doubling our fast offering.
