Rick,

Thanks for the link.

This is actually a very interesting website. Lots of other "holy" texts as well.

I look forward to reading through some of them.

Rick - I didn't read the article. I was just asking, because from the photo it looks like it could be. I've never seen a Menorah that didn't look like a candleabra. Granted, I am no expert on either Menorahs or candleabras.

Hey, I have another question for you, Rick. Does that mean that the Synagogue is not the same as the Temple? I always thought that the Spirit of God dwelled within the Holiest of Holies when He wanted to be among His people.

why start a thread with the sole purpose of causing / arousing hate and discontent? completely juvenile.

Do you ever listen to yourself???

Telling an "old man" to shut up, ridiculing "newbies", attacking Tranny, and then me.

You make friends everywhere you go, don't you?

Despite the fact that we were all there for you when you were ready to leave your wife.

You are a mess.

A complete mixed-up, major grade, AA, primo Ahole.

Get lost punk.

My error, I was mistaken about the "shut up" comment.

But you are STILL a veritable mess with a chip on your shoulder.

Get help.

I didn't start the thread, I made a statement based on the experiences I had before you were ever around CBID. Never once did I tell any to shut up. I don't ridicule newbies, simply because I was a newbie when I came to this site, and was treated with nothing but kindness and respect. The only person I ever had any problems with was magnafide/trannymk. Now, since you and some others have been frequenting this site, things have gotten completely out of hand. Because I do have some folks her that I do care for and consider friends, I will not leave. If you can't handle it, perhaps you, sir, should "get lost".

BTW, I never attacked you. My first comments to you were, in fact, defensive.

Ruggysgirl,

(with apologies to Jews for any errors or omissions)

Traditionally, God resides in The Temple in Jerusalem. Synagogues are places of assembly for the faithful. Traditional Jews do not approve of the term "Temple" for a Synagogue.

The Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed, but they believe that God is still there, in the original location of the Holy of Holies at the rear of The Temple. No Jew can step onto that spot; the closest they can approach is the Western Wall, the retaining wall for the mound on which the Temple sat. That's why the Wall is a sacred place for prayer and ceremonies. Even a high priest would have to undergo a cleansing ritual to enter the location of the Holy of Holies, and that cannot be performed without a Temple.

By chance, I got the opportunity to visit there once. A hat of any kind was required for men to approach the wall -- it didn't matter if it was a baseball cap, cowboy hat, or rastafarian wig. Having none, I wore a borrowed cardboard yarmulke, available in a basket at the entryway.

There was a wedding or some other ceremony being performed the day I was there. Men and women did not mingle at the wall, but rather were separated by a curtain.

Out of all of my travels while in the Navy, My visit to Israel was by far the most memorable. I do not consider myself a religious man, but I couldn't help but have a strange sense of a higher being during my visit there. During a 2 day tour of all of Israel, I think my favorite place was in Jerusalem. Tel Aviv was nice, also. It was wierd when I was in Tel Aviv. The place we had dinner was an outside place. What really caught me off guard was the fact that they had Bob Marley blasting on the outdoor speakers. It was interesting.

Yep, your picture comes up several times.

Here is the REAL reason Bush comes up, when a google search on failure is done.

Googlebombing 'failure'

9/16/2005 12:54:00 PM

Posted by Marissa Mayer, Director of Consumer Web Products

If you do a Google search on the word [failure] or the phrase [miserable failure], the top result is currently the White House’s official biographical page for President Bush. We've received some complaints recently from users who assume that this reflects a political bias on our part. I'd like to explain how these results come up in order to allay these concerns.

Google's search results are generated by computer programs that rank web pages in large part by examining the number and relative popularity of the sites that link to them. By using a practice called googlebombing, however, determined pranksters can occasionally produce odd results. In this case, a number of webmasters use the phrases [failure] and [miserable failure] to describe and link to President Bush's website, thus pushing it to the top of searches for those phrases. We don't condone the practice of googlebombing, or any other action that seeks to affect the integrity of our search results, but we're also reluctant to alter our results by hand in order to prevent such items from showing up. Pranks like this may be distracting to some, but they don't affect the overall quality of our search service, whose objectivity, as always, remains the core of our mission.

******************************************************

So there you go!

I guess you really are a confrontational prick. They should show a picture of you! My post was not either way for or against Bush. I simply asked the question.

I didn't put the link there. You are an opioniated lout, and I hope I never have the occasion to run across you. You would make a good cigar taste very bad just talking to you.
