Chariots Of The Gods

Very nice pictures Kathy/Kate, but I have never heard of any indications that Jesus loved cats, though I'm fairly certain he would have loved dogs.
Did you see any examples of Jerusalem (or even, Capharnaum) syndrome? I thought Jesus was a Nazarene, or did he live later in Capharnaum?

Isn't Jesus the Lion of Judah?

Jesus is alive and well, and hiding in Argentina with Elvis and Jimmy Hoffa!

Larben I have never seen a city with more Cats than Jersusalem, they are an integral art of the citenzry.

No Jerusalem Syndrome. Our veteran guide had never seen an instance in all these years.

Frankly, I must be losing it but I personally can't imagine having that reaction to Jerusalem. The Christian sites are, well, more shabby than inspiring. Of course, their very ordinariness is precisely the point, for some people. But I prefer the baroque and the artificial :-)

I can easily imagine getting Stendhal Syndrome at the Vatican, but not J. S. in Israel.

And yeah the cats were a big highlight for us, as we missed our little guy at home.

BCF. its the ready food source , and Im not talking meowmix in Jerusalem.

and larben, yes he did live in Caperneum, like all good Jewish boys( and not Italians) by the time he was about 30 he moved out of mamas house in Nazareth(which is now a Christian Arab town)and survived much better than Caperneum likely due to tourism over a few milleneum.

Joe Citizen - Yes Joe, and all three of them are calling for you to join them there in Rio.

When I worked at the Vanoc site there was a lovely Jewish girl whose father was getting worried because his father and his grandfather before him had all died young, I think before 42 years old, and as he approached that age he became more and more worried. Now he was a liberal or Reformed Jew, who ate bacon and pork but who would return to Jerusalem and the Wailing Wall, occasionally as all good Jews try to do. Once, while there an old Jewess he had never seen before called him from out of the crowds by his full name. She told him if he returned to the dietary laws the "curse" would be broken. He did, and it was. I told her I loved the story and that it seemed so Catholic, what with forebodings and the phenomenology and the miraculousness of it all, but I told her she better not tell her dad that, as he was kind of a cranky guy and might be offended.

My hypothosis (not yet theory) is that kassim rockets are a symptom of Jerusalem syndrome.....which due to some natural law gives non-arabs imunity to Jerusalem Syndrome. Yin and yang.....
