Do Protestants abstain from meat on Good Friday?

[Dookus]

I was raised Catholic, so we always did, but I went out for barbecue tonight (see? not a Catholic now) and the place was dead. There aren't THAT many Catholics here. So tell me, Protestants - did ya have fish for dinner tonight?

3. According to rationing in the USA spam wasn't meat

One needed no meat coupon for it

[HEyHEY]

5. jeez, how about a gun/bullet coupon

If that is your mainstay......

4. Nothing to do with giving up meat...

between Passover and Good Friday, everything's dead.

btw, Some Protestants do the Friday fish thing, but it's optional for most, and few really care about it.

Me, I had chicken. Then later a fish sandwich for a snack, but only because it looked good.

6. Short answer

No. In fact, my Lutheran parents, who were anti-Catholic (despite having Catholic friends) made a point of eating meat on Friday.

7. No, it's optional

Fish on Friday is strictly a personal option in the Presby church.

8. We never did

And I was raised in one of the more Ecumenical branches (Methodist). As far as I know the Lutherans don't either, and I don't think the Anglican/Episcopals do either.

9. Episcopalians do

at least they were supposed to when I was a kid and still went to church. I doubt very many actually did, but we were supposed to

10. Not anymore

and I think that it was only the Anglo-Catholic branch that abstained on Fridays anyway.

11. This Protestant ordered from Steak-out yesterday.

Because dammit, Jesus didn't die on Friday!!!! He died on Thursday. He rose on the 3rd day, which was a Sunday. That means He died on Thursday.
