Jews can now tweet prayers to God

Post by polsongrizz »

Jews, always trying to find a shortcut to "Gawd" :mrgreen:

New service lets Jews tweet a prayer to God

* By STEVE WEIZMAN, AP

JERUSALEM -

Judaism's holiest prayer site has entered the Twitter age.

The Western Wall now has its own address on the social networking service, allowing believers around the globe to have their prayers placed between its 2,000 year-old-stones without even leaving their armchairs.

The service's Web site says petitioners can tweet their prayers and they will be printed out and taken to the wall, where they will join the thousands of handwritten notes placed by visitors who believe their requests will find a shortcut to God by being deposited there.

The wall, in Jerusalem's Old City, is all that remains of the second biblical Jewish temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. It stands where the bible says King Solomon built the first temple, which was destroyed by the Babylonians more than 600 years earlier.

The Tweet Your Prayers site does not identify its founders, saying only that the driving force behind it is a "young man from Tel Aviv".

No charge is made for placing a prayer at the wall. Visitors to the Web site are invited to make donations by credit card and it has sponsored links to an outdoor reception hall on the nearby Mount of Olives and a publisher of custom-made prayer books.

Throughout the ages, Jews have prayed at the Western Wall, and many others have made courtesy calls.

I just tweeted Jehovah and asked him to give a certain 600lb darkie sickle cell

appaholic is right if A Joo can't figure it out it can't be done. Perhaps they are too busy running hollywood, finance, diamond markets, newspapers, magazines, and tv, and the world to even take the time to bother with twitter.


Btw appa space bar works about as well as your goddamn phone. Phone probably doesn't like the rain either.

Organized religion is a joke. Plain & Simple. :nod:

If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

And Cap'n....here's what Twitter is....and no, I don't tweet...
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. While the service costs nothing to use, accessing it through SMS may incur phone service provider fees.

That's b/c we live in a world so complicated man has always had a hard time understanding everything around them. It helps to answer the unexplainable.

Agree. Even if it is all a giant farce, it gives people answers to their problems that they might not find elsewhere. Religion isn't a bad thing

Agree. We need religion without revelation. It's the dogma that's bullshit.

I don't disagree with that at all. I got into a "discussion" with a former pastor of mine about organized religion.


My side was religion is a great thing, but the organization of it has gone too far and has ruined religion to many people. We had gone too far from what religion was all about, and got into other subjects such as gay marriage and what not.

Organized religion is. They are like different soccer teams with their own passionate/psycho fan bases who hate each other.
