Reuters on Jerusalem Syndrome. I remember being there, and how disappointed I was when something like this did not happen to me.

You’re probably too rational. I remember when you said you couldn’t be turned in to a laughing mess when the ‘laughing revival’ came to town.
Ah, yes, everybody’s favorite Rodney Howard-Browne. I was really hoping that something would happen there, too.
Is it rational to want something irrational to happen? I think that I had been filled with such stories, particularly in the Jerusalem case, that I really hoped that the completely non-supernatural life I had been leading would be torn with just one evidence of the supernatural, in a group in which visions and prophecies were par for the course for the leadership.
Funny, but when I finally did see evidence for the supernatural, it was years later, at a cancer patient’s deathbed. Repentance and faith are far more convincing to me of the power of God than laughter in Fenton, or glossolalia at the Wailing Wall.
