"Did I see you leaving St. Mark one Sunday?"

~Me

"I go every Sunday."

~CUMUnion

"Are you religious?"

~Me

"(weird sort of stammering)"

~CUMUnion

"Well answer this question instead; did you start off Methodist?"

~Me

"Noooooo! CATHOLIC!"

~CUMUnion

"This is strange. I just accused your pastor of being nothing but a "Catholic Fag Hag paid to be Methodist Administer to Congregation 80%...ALMOST...Bye Bye Honey NO MORE SEX and the Kids." This is just weird. Oh well. This is not what we here for tonight anyway. Will let you get back to what we where doing."

~Me

It will do for now.

DID HE SMILE HIS WORK TO SEE~(6!9)~DID HE WHO MADE THE LAMB MAKE THEE

Beth, what about St. Mark would even remain Methodist had they not been able filling it with "faggots"instead? I don't understand that church.

And this was the purpose of meeting wanting with you and two other members first. I'm quite a JELLYFISH having a COLORFUL LANGUAGE

Please do contact Glenn Memorial UMC and let them know you and Joshua have both been asked by me to join us; however, the sooner I'm able getting this meeting with Josh and Alice is my priority.

I've also dropped off invitations with Clairmont Presbyterian Church Rev. Owen, Clairmont Hills Baptist Church's Rev. Pitts, St. Barthalomew Episcopal Church's The Very Rev. Beverly Elliot, and with Beth Jacob's Synagon to become interested at least; and hopefully will let me come back with a briefing of this meeting. If it even happens.

I've been patient, now, for four years.

Hi James. In response to your note here is my remembrance in writing of are the things I said when we talked on the phone:

1. I referred you to the Chrystal Meth Support group here at Saint Mark UMC which meets Tuesday evening at 7pm and Saturday morning at 10pm.

2. I declined your request to meet with me and two witnesses from the congregation to discuss your issues.

3. I stated that my reason for declining was that I believed a mental health professional or drug counselor would be better trained and equipped to give you the support you need. I did not feel my expertise as a local pastor would be particularly helpful.

I hope this is what you asked for. I trust I will see you soon again when you visit Saint Mark.

Dear Beth,

I'm just now checking emails since our strange one way conversation (Your monologue before oh so politely telling me, "I'm going to hang up now.") before you hanging up on me Thursday late morning or maybe it was afternoon; do not remember except it was Thurday, which falls on the 17th of July.

And I'm finding this email, which follows, from you (y=ou= "four?eyes?only?) sent to me (e=mc2="your/eyes?ears?only?) on Tuesday, July 15; which falls on a Tuesday.

Sorry you missed me on Tuesday the 15th?

Thought I was there on Wednesday the 16th the day I chatted with Deana (and Rev. Jennifer brieftly) as the hungry were being fed. It even cost me $20.00 as I waited for doors locked to be opened by those already fed leaving before able rushing in with those still waiting outside where it was HOT! They didn't ask me for any money; just took it upon myself to give each of them $5.00 as I waited. They were complaining and didn't want them to leave for the rest of the day hungry.

But I told them as I gave it to them, "You know how best to spend this."

And I'm thinking to myself as I give them this money, "Their lives are never going to get turned around this crazy world we live today. Too..., too... many sorry

half-assed justifications by those living just too..., too... well. Even if this money I'm giving them helps them only forget their misery for a few hours; it's even also taking some time off at the end of their lifetimes. This church doing only nothing but extending their misery just so it's members can get some sleep at night if this is only as far as they go while priest peddle their own version of it's dope to it's member's congregation."

Again, I just thinking this, but it is sounding as if talking to myself.

"I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; not because I seek the will of my own, but the will of thy father who has sent me."

John 5:30

I do understand cognitive dissonance/dissonance reduction. And this is how you, as Senior Pastor of St. Mark's (United/Methodist?Church) " Five//? Headed Learnada/Hydra", makes her living.

So, "sorry you just missed me...?" Are we talking about the day I showed up and spoke with Deana and Rev. Jennifer or something else? I personally do not consider emails a "sorry I just missed you" issue.

U = Pragmatic Competence or Y(ou=mc20)~g(0)d~OG/ME =Pragmatic Incompetence...?

So exactly what did happen between you sending a email (claiming you just missed me) to me on Tuesday okaying a meeting between you and me on Thurday; but, then turning right around and calling me Thurday (btw....did not know there was an email from you okaying this meeting yet) and telling me you could not meet me in order to discuss how I could be helped with my crystal meths addiction.

I can only assume it has something to do with my conversation Deana, and although extremely brief one, with Rev. Jennifer aslo.

"MINUS FLESH=WATER and SPIRITS."

"WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

"DEATH NEVER A CHOICE UNTIL TOO LATE."

"ANY FORMS OF MANIPULATION AND DECEPTION ELIMINATES CONSENT."

I believe I do have a right to this answer, considering I'm still a "Borned Again Methodist", although still "MATURE METHODIST CRACKHEAD", compared to you still being nothing but a "Catholice Fag Hag Paid to be Methodist Minister to Congregation Almost Eighty Percent Bye-Bye-Homosexual Males".

Do not let my colorful language distract you. It... is still ART!

NO SUCH THING AS HATE BEING THE SHORT(?)END OF THE SAME(?) LOOP IT MUST(?) SHARE WITH LOVE!

Dear Sister Beth,

Needing to verify that you havereceived an email from me requesting a meeting with you and two others from your church. Needing to know whether or not this can bearraigned; or what it is you need from me in order for this to happen? Again, I'm currently not working, therefore my schedule is completely flexible. Waiting to hear from you.

Any and as much information able providing to me in a timely manner, both positive and negative, will go a long way in helping me decide what would best be able helping me with the meths addiction if having to consider other alternatives. Requesting help from St. Mark was automatically ruled out in the beginning, because I was wanting to witness how adultMethodist discussed politics, religion, and the raising of their children.

As my meths addiction is now back to being a daily habit again, ended up following the advice suggested by the first of the two Sunday services attended at St. Mark; the one where Hagar and Ishmael are sent away...and almost dying in the desert.

DeKalb Crisis Center: Three Year Anniversary

Had I a crystal ball and knew what I now know, would have done this a long time ago. All along, these trips of theirs from Arkansas to visit me here in Atlanta were about them instead of me. Three valuable years wasted on them for them to have heard nothing; even more years taken away from the end of mine. And now finding myself in an even deeper hole needing to crawl out of.

All we have to do, is work on a way introducing me to your congregation up front as to who and what I'm am. Then they come to me with invitations joining them in their discussions/activities. This way the shock value, will be lessened, but not eliminated. From this point, I will work with you on figuring out ways getting other Churches sharing this burden with you.

Think of it as a form of reverse enumeration of our sets into one. As there are already too many sets within the Christian sect alone, I will be in my own set, all by my lonesome, as an Simply Jim: TRULY BLUE BLEEDING HEART LIBERAL; giving us only two sets starting with. Everyone else will be in a set labeled only as "PALE BLUE DOT"; living the shell part of an oyster potentially having a pearl but for now...

just an irritating piece of grit.

As this Methodist Church is TGO, really don't see the need worrying too much; as it should already be used to drama. Rev.Noblitt certainly has no excuse being easily ruffled by my act as he's even a counselor in addition to theater; unless...maybe feelingthreatened by....what he see as...competition? Just think Marilyn Monroe's Method Acting.

Anyway, ultimate goal hoping for, at least discussing at some point, is moving me into Glenn Memorial. Even asking advise about a Methodist Tribunal or some form ofreconciliation with the help of Emory University. The scars are just too deep for this to simply go away by the use shunning; and made worse with eachperniciousness and prevarication.

I liked this one a lot! Thank you for sharing with us, Janet. You did once tell me, "salty language didn't bother you one bit." Do call my mother and wish her a happy birthday. It was July 18th, 2014. She turned 83. We currenlty are not talking at my insistence. thank you.

We've got your metal. We've got your concrete. We've got your wood. Theyy all expaand and contraact at different rates. Think of your brain like the hard drive in your personal pc. That's a lot of heat being created in the process. Well our brain produces a lot of heat storing those memories (souls). So...you might as well call this heat (memories) mass. Like Einsteiin once said, if he said it at all?, "once you can picture our universe as matter (stored memories as we go alone along together til the day we die) expanding into nothing (cranium/womb/home/neighborhood/city/county/state/country/continent/hemisphere/
globe, etc) that is something...wearing stripes with plaid is nothing. There must first be a common interest before there is a conflict; something different before there iss an advantagee. We all (animals, vegetables, minerals0 compete for the same space. And I cannot help but find it strange, how with those people of faith, something erriely missing from this equation. It's called cognitive dissonance/dissonance reduction. "Jesus died for our sins so that we may live; and whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life." Different way of saying the same thing, "one person's trauma is another's lost of innocense. We cannot become wealthy without making someone else poor. We cannot run a linear system on a finite planet without taking homes away from other species innocent; iin the end doing ourselves in long before our sun runs out of it's fuel.

John 3:1-13: “There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him." Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. "Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." Nicodemus answered and said to Him, "How can these things be?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? "Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. "If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.

Dear Sister Beth,

Even with your MDiv and DMin degrees, you're already beginning to sound somewhat like my sister; only special education. And this was probably as high as she could go before giving up and staying home as full time housewife. The good news first , being, there is very slight chance I may be wrong although seriously doubting it; the bad new, being, I'm willing to bet you suck at math and anything else related as well.

Please don't make this...too...personal; although....definitely... somewhat personal with good reasons. I am able working as I do so, on a sliding scale; and very very good at it.

DO NOT UNDER APPRECIATE THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ME AND THE MANY MANY MANY FEMALES OVER COURSE ONE LIFETIME YET NOT OVER!

I've learned to lie with woman same as women have learned to lie with man. Taking a cue from Dolly Parton, "I'm the type of woman, who, if thought it needed to be done would do it." And she was answering to a question about her breast...size!

"LET'S EAT GRANDMA!" vs. "LET'S EAT, GRANDMA!"

And the closest a woman has ever come to having sex with me was a woman from our Methodist Church of Prescott Arkansas, as well as the friend to my mother; whom breasts both beginning to sag. So what should be so wrong, about sagging that is, by these young black men of African American decent; if they be thinking something needing to be done? Sagging is sagging. Such an emotive word. If god still alive and still speaking to us...? What could whatever wherever however it be trying to tell you...? But do not get me wrong. Don't go dragging me into this question; for I consider myself not one of you...? And all I saying here is....I'm still radical atheist...yet somehow can't help but feel I'm supposed to be here. That I've come to the right place asking for some help understanding this. And I can't help but feel...someone somewhere somehow already knowing what I'm knowing now. Maybe even you...?

WITHOUT ALL THE FACTS WE WILL NEVER KNOW; FOR THIS I KNOW TO BE TRUE?

So please! Do not take advantage of this crystal meths addiction ...OF MINE; telling me go get help from someone somehow somewhere else. I'm over this advise. BIG TIME! Unless we willing going together; and not just dropping me off somewhere else with someone else without somehow having my permission first. For this would be practicing medicine somewhere, on a patient somehow, without their consent anytime. So give me some credit being not only a veterinarian, but also having wrongly maybe not if God a reason, chosen a career taken completely over by women; women coming to work with their dick issues never mine. Then again there is the issue of women this day and age still owning less than one percent of our world's property. So there is still some justifications...rightly so.

OH MY GOD HOW PISSED SHE GOT ABOUT THE HALLOWEEN PRANK I JUST PLAYED ON HER THAT YEAR.

Have you any idea what it's like having shaving cream squirted up you ASS!? Neither do I actually. By a woman the size of a praying mantis!? That answer had to wait a GOOD BIT while longer, also. Well...that what it seemed like every time her and her husband Spot Daniel (El Spotro the Outsider Artist) showed up together like religion for BINGO NIGHT at Methodist Country Club of Prescott Arkansas. No wonder he was always loud and cutting jokes at the country club although I never understood them; but the others sitting at the bar with him did. Nor were these laughs BINGO NIGHT either. These jokes have been going on all along, long before knowing some of these Methodist wives and the mothers of others... better...as we all went along the way together. Maybe even some ways better than their own husbands or sons. But it's still hard telling who marries whom for what reasons. And this had to wait even longer me figuring out all by my lonesome! Never having married.

Much longer!

NO SUCH THING AS INEXPLICABLE!

Apparently it is true; we've got to make up the difference somewhere, somehow, eventually. Now I understand the difference between those who fear god: and :the difference between those who fear nothing else. And this is not a mistake; there is a difference between the two. This...is where the the illusion of believing, even if truly not, of us having human free will.

"OH ! JUST LISTEN TO YOU!"

This came from a young female named Jane alone with one fair bit older named Kim, both Jehova Witnesses who had rung my doorbell. All I did was chastisize them for not voting; this only be delegating their votes to the winning team...THE SINNERS! But just before bet it funny, even asking to take a picture with her cellphone;

The same as with the animals; if you're running the other way, you...HAVE... made a choice. This... a lesson I've learned to be true because of...not one BUT TWO...eight point stars from rear entrance. They told me so themselves; they did ...NOT...run away. They were patient with me for a short while as I took their pictures. They knew I was there. They saw me. But still, one begin to get nervous and started straying away but not in a hurry. The other taking the cue and following in behind.

"I HAD TO TELL HER! JUST HAD TO! ALL SHE WOULD DO WAS JUST SIT THERE! GOING ON AND ON AND ON! JUST COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! JUST HAD TO Didn't KNOW WHAT ELSE I COULD DO!"

This came from my mother; after...FIRST...having been chewwed out by our friend Evelyn

Wish you could have met my first boyfriend of the three in a row. But these three didn't happen until after many, many, many meaningful overnight relationships coming before them; Tom being the first one returning a mutual interest. But it began with a big, tough, mean looking Serbian, size fourteen shoes; having met me one night at the HERETIC, but not until before cruising me first at the gym earlier same day. Althought this was Wednesday night, drug of choice same, place crowded, dance floor packed, music loud; still had to turn around before finding him first... again? Just standing there? Just trying to make conversation as S took a pounding, I asked him why his last name was Haydukovich. having the mat of chest hair soft like that of a kitten; even a joke of me fourteen shoes, TOO; but without the penis that match. No size queen by any means, although, by the time I met him; fair calling it"devolution." Once upon a time even the little ones used to hurt. Biggest woman I've ever met also. Was always from the very start of three years of dating making comment, leaving hints, leaving me feeling there was some kind of deficit needing corrected by me. But it was the diamon ring ending three years of dating. Where he got it in his head having the rights deciding unilaterally without any input from me that I should be the one buying him a diamond ring; instead of the other way around. Told him to go find someone Mrs. Himself thought worth a bigger diamond than alreading thinking deserving from me. Then and only then would I triangulate a decision. Of course this would be too late. May even explain why he moved to New York. If ring don't fit you must aquit.

Dear Sister Beth,

This email will be my formal request for one hour of your time to be scheduled completely at your convenience. All that I ask, that there be two other people from your congregation present at this meeting; one of your most spiritual minded and one of your most pragmatic minded. And please do ask around for any information about me before this meeting. Before I even try asking for assistance/advice with my problem(s), I need, and it's only fair, the opportunity clearing any and all information(s) that could lead to any kinds of cognitive bias and/or dissonance. This will be the quickest/briefest way to proceed...again...in a way that's fair to me.

The only way I can think of, trying to explain who I am, is through the use of mixed media collages.

In other words...

~(6!9)~

is my tool/game figuring out other people's game. It's a little bit of everything, including the trinity which I'm understanding to be one substantive and two unsubstantive or two substantive and one unsubstantive; the art behind my colorful language:

Jesus: Father(Joseph the Parental Father as the Eternal Father, Son (take a lucky guess), Holy Ghost (the essence of his Mother Mary); different way of saying the same thing: sum of his parents in his father's absence.

Simply Jim: One Pearl, Total Pig, Anti-Christ.

G. Robert Gary, Sr. ThD: Arrogant Obtuse Swine.

His wife, Janet: Pernicious Prevaricating Cunt. Also "THE HOSEA JOKE BETWEEN ME AND HER HUSBAND BOB." She's the one who started all this by crossing over to my side of the street first and introducing herself to me and Bob

Neighbor Charles W. Bliss: Useless Green Acre Faggot "I'M INCREASING YOUR PROPERTY VALUE!" I"M INCREASING YOUR PROPERTY VALUE!" "TREES are DANGEROUS!" "I'M INCREASING YOUR PROPERTY VALUE!"

His partner Bobby B. Rasulnia: Charlie's Iranian Uranium Enrichment Concubine. "Well! It's Charlie's money and he can spend it however he wants!"

Robin and Scott Dowel: ROBIN THE LANDLORDS VAGINA MONOLOGUE. "All trees fall eventually." "Well if we cut one tree down, we might as well cut them all down." "It's a live tree. It's a pretty tree. For all we know it may live to be another hundred years?" "However, we'll let you cut it down if it is a concern of yours." After it finally fell eight months later, "Well. We only view this property of ours next to yours as an investment to help pay our children's way through school." They refuse to pay having it hauled out of my backyard, even though it destroyed a fir tree of mine, that was also a pretty tree, a live tree, for all we know it might have lived to be another hundred years.

And so you have an example of who I am. Or an example of who I've become.

Going to wrap this up with some quotes, another example of mixed media collages I use when trying to express myself, with the last quote slightly altered to reflect my hearing impairment:

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN (PRAGMATIC(?)SPIRITUAL)

At one point, he wrote to Thomas Paine, criticizing his manuscript, The Age of Reason:

"For without the Belief of a Providence that takes Cognizance of, guards and guides and may favor particular Persons, there is no Motive to Worship a Deity, to fear its Displeasure, or to pray for its Protection ... think how great a Proportion of Mankind consists of weak and ignorant Men and Women, and of inexperienced and inconsiderate Youth of both Sexes, who have need of the Motives of Religion to restrain them from Vice, to support their Virtue, and retain them in the Practice of it till it becomes habitual, which is the great Point for its Security; And perhaps you are indebted to her originally that is to your Religious Education, for the Habits of Virtue upon which you now justly value yourself. If men are so wicked with religion, what would they be if without it."

In 1790, just about a month before he died, Franklin wrote a letter to Ezra Stiles, president of Yale University, who had asked him his views on religion:

"As to Jesus of Nazareth, my Opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the System of Morals and his Religion, as he left them to us, the best the world ever saw or is likely to see; but I apprehend it has received various corrupt changes, and I have, with most of the present Dissenters in England, some Doubts as to his divinity; tho' it is a question I do not dogmatize upon, having never studied it, and I think it needless to busy myself with it now, when I expect soon an Opportunity of knowing the Truth with less Trouble ..."

ALBERT EINSTEIN (PRAGMATIC(?)SPIRITUAL)

Like Spinoza, Einstein was a strict determinist who believed that human behavior was completely determined by causal laws. For that reason, he refused the chance aspect of quantum theory, rejecting the concept of a god playing dice with the universe. In letters sent to physicist Max Born, Einstein revealed his devout belief in causal relationships:

"You believe in a God who plays dice, and I in complete law and order in a world which objectively exists, and which I in a wildly speculative way, am trying to capture. I firmly believe, but I hope that someone will discover a more realistic way, or rather a more tangible basis than it has been my lot to find. Even the great initial success of the quantum theory does not make me believe in the fundamental dice game, although I am well aware that some of our younger colleagues interpret this as a consequence of senility."

Einstein was then asked to what extent he was influenced by Christianity. "As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene." Einstein was then asked if he accepted the historical existence of Jesus, to which he replied, "Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life."

He stressed however in a conversation with William Hermanns that, "I seriously doubt that Jesus himself said that he was God, for he was too much a Jew to violate that great commandment: Hear O Israel, the Eternal is our God and He is one!' and not two or three." Einstein lamented, "Sometimes I think it would have been better if Jesus had never lived. No name was so abused for the sake of power!" Nevertheless, he also expressed his belief that "if one purges the Judaism of the Prophets and Christianity as Jesus Christ taught it of all subsequent additions, especially those of the priests, one is left with a teaching which is capable of curing all the social ills of humanity."

JESUS OF NAZARETH (PRAGMATIC(?)SPIRITUAL)

John 5:30

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I sense, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

- King James Bible "Authorized Version", Cambridge Edition

I'm convinced, all we are dealing with here is the sixth sense: the mind media, which the eastern cultures factor into their spiritual journeys. And this is what we need to be doing with America's spiritualism.

U=Pragmatic Competence?

Before I even discovered Spinoza through my research on Albert Einstein, I had already come to the conclusion, if there is to be a God, by definition there can only be one. This would then leave us with: We get the god we have; not the one you choose. And I'm unable seeing why there should be any difference between those people of faith and the rest of us. As you will find no two people believing in God exactly the same way; technically then, there are as many Gods as their are people claiming to believe in God. And this is what I like about being the radical atheist that I am, even a militant one who style Einstein would probably not approve as I have chosen to follow Einstein's lead that faith and science, both being the search for truths, originates and is controlled from the same part of the brain; that mere unbelief in a personal god, then, is no philosophy at all. Once one figures out, "the way the world is," being nothing more than "the sum of all of us," God can now hypothetically be given a face...a human face...but one that changing constantly like that of time on a digital clock with each second as "the sum of all of us' is constantly adding up differently departures and new arrivals. So I have decided to believe in "ZERO" god as opposed to "NO" god; even changing the spelling of God to g(0)d. And this leaves the only god available being my witness, if indeed one truly does exist, the one I refuse choosing to recognize or worship; the only one that be witness to us all. So don't go mistakenly believing, because I claim myself atheist, among many other things you may have heard about me, that this automatically puts God on your side against me. But honestly, my intuition tells me that you and I already agree on the gist of who god is and how god operates. The only difference being, our style in how we should to go about enumerations of our sets. Just within the Christian sect, you're set is still one of many. I've come to the belief, the best way is to start all over with another attempt at a reset in the language we use discussing god and religion. And for this, we need another catalyst similar to what Jesus attempted with his use of phrases like "Son of Man"...and "flesh being born of flesh" with the rest made of "water" and "spirit".

But somewhere along the way, the meaning of "spirit" got high-jacked and we ended up with nothing but a "botched" Crucifixion.

⁴ “What can I do with you, Ephraim?
What can I do with you, Judah?
Your love is like the morning mist,
like the early dew that disappears.
⁵ Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets,
I killed you with the words of my mouth—
then my judgments go forth like the sun.^[a]
6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,
and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.
⁷ As at Adam,^[b] they have broken the covenant;
they were unfaithful to me there.
⁸ Gilead is a city of evildoers,
stained with footprints of blood.
⁹ As marauders lie in ambush for a victim,
so do bands of priests;
they murder on the road to Shechem,
carrying out their wicked schemes.

I have lots ideas, but I need sponsors helping me get past my lack of the "halo" effect on other people. With today's world population roughly 33 percent Christians..."HE STILL AIN"T ELECTABLE!"

Jesus had his minute...and failed. Just think of it as a form of "negative" theology.

Okay! I lied when I said I was going to wrap this up! Sue me!

So...Rev. Dr. Beth; I'm so sorry to impose on you like this. It's not that I don't know what I'm doing due to my crystal methamphetamine addiction. I know exactly what I'm doing because of my crystal meths addiction. As I ended up having to perform my own drug addiction intervention after going to and from work as a veterinarian under the influence of this drug addiction almost everyday since it became a daily habit roughly around the year 1999 up until I told Janet Gary first ...Thanksgiving 2010...followed by telling everyone else as well; I spared no one. Therefore, although I've decided to retire from the practice of clinical veterinary medicine (it's not about the animals anymore/unless you can afford being referred to specialists such as Georgia Veterinary Specialist here in Metro Atlanta where humanized personalized medicine is practiced in stark contrast with our difficulty getting any forms of Universal Health Care legislation passed), the same as I've always been and forever will be Methodist no less than Jesus ever stopped being a Jew due to first eighteen years raised with First United Methodist Church of Prescott,Arkansas; James Edward Avery, DVM should get to be in control of his drug addiction intervention. This means he "should" get to choose the support groups he believes needing helping him get off this addiction since none care enough to initiate the intervention on my behalf themselves.

Of course I know this is not how real life works?

Don't be so sure about this.

Always a first time for everything...going both ways.

Again...Jesus had his minute. As "OUR" story is such an important part of "MY" story; I am "ABEL" seeing how this might actually work.

I'm trying to keep "OUR" story within the Methodist family. It's the last family I have left. The memories anyway. I've given up on my immediate family living in Arkansas. But they are not really Methodists anyway. Except my father, now deceased, and Mike Avery Ross who is my second cousin.

Now that he's running for Governor of Arkansas, will not be surprised he becomes less "Blue Dog" than he was as Representative of Arkansas's 4th district; even switching parties once elected Governor. If you really want a good book to read in which one could learns a lot about human nature, it would be one detailing the parallel lives and thoughts, if able getting the other two to be halfway truthful, of mine as James Edward Avery, DOCTOR OF VETERINARY MEDICINE, of Mike Avery Ross, BLUE DOG DEMOCRAT, and author of JESUS UNPLUGGED.... G. Robert Gary, Jr., MASTER OF DIVINITY. We all three are as pure Methodist as you can get.

You remember me mentioning my version of the trinity: two substantive and one unsubstantive vs two unsubstantive and one substanstive?

A different way of saying the same thing: "Quality of a good leader is one able disappointing his/her own people at a rate they can absorb." Personally witness this within the only sermon of yours I've heard so far regarding the removal from Methodist by-laws, the section barring self avowed homosexuals as ordained ministers, to a congregation roughly 80 percent homosexual males. Did I read this correctly?

Anyway, I'm not particularly pleased by what I'm seeing out of the other two...?

As a reference point, something I would like to guage, would be my opinions of Wayne Besen of TRUTH WINS OUT (TWO) to the average of your THE GAY ONE (TGO) CHURCH.

I'm not out looking to make friends out of your church; just looking to see if your church can, where others have failed (most especially Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church)...

"All of us are familiar with the famous line attributed to F. Scott Fitzgerald,

that “the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in

mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.” Less famously,

Conor Cruise O’Brien (contributing editor to The Atlantic magazine) described an

intellectual as “someone who is prepared to admit when another has made a

point in a debate.”

On both counts it’s fair to wonder whether our society has lost some of its

capacity for instilling—or at least requiring—this kind of intellectual

capaciousness, this (perhaps uniquely human but too often underemployed)

ability to experience or understand life from another person’s perspective.

Can you imagine the talking heads on some of the cable TV channels and AM radio

stations pausing in the middle of their heated exchanges and saying, “You know,

Bill, or you know Sean, or you know, Tim – I think you have a point there.” It

doesn’t happen, or at least it doesn’t happen often. We are a society

increasingly trained to hold on like bulldogs to a narrow way of viewing things.

Perhaps it is in our sense of surety, founded or unfounded, that we find comfort."

And this is James Wagner I'm quoting:

A Time for Courageous Universities

James W. Wagner

Emory University

Address to the National Press Club

25 April 2007

Sounded very pretty didn't it?

Now compare his statement with Wikipedia explanation of:

In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the excessive mental stress and discomfort experienced by an individual who (1) holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time or (2) is confronted by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas, or values. This stress and discomfort may also arise within an individual who holds a belief and performs a contradictory action or reaction.

Leon Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance focuses on how humans strive for internal consistency. When inconsistency (dissonance) is experienced, individuals largely become psychologically distressed. His basic hypotheses are listed below:

1. "The existence of dissonance, being psychologically uncomfortable, will motivate the person to try to reduce the dissonance and achieve consonance"
2. "When dissonance is present, in addition to trying to reduce it, the person will actively avoid situations and information which would likely increase the dissonance"

If I'm understanding this correctly, do no believe it can be done James Wagner's way...unless living a lie.

And any form of manipulations and deceptions eliminates consent.

Sincerely yours,

James E. Avery, DVM

Rev. Owen Stepps at Clairmont Presbyterian Church. I've paired him with Alice. I'm playing a game with those two using the story of Cain and Abel vs. the story of Martha and Mary.

They are really quite alike.

It's complicated but when reading how Clairmont Presbyterian's web site profiled Rev. Owen's previous four years in the financial market...

I immediately envisioned "MONEY LAUNDERER in a SHEEPSKIN".

Doesn't help that his wife also an accountant; that they like to cheer for the BRAVES.

Rev. William Alexander Avery crossed the Mississippi River to preach to the Chotaw Indians.

Do you know that I'm also fifth generation Arkansan for the same reason as Mike "Avery" Ross; Blue Dog Democrat poster child for Democratic opposition to OBAMACARE?

His mother and my father are first cousins

Mike voted against the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. He stated in 2014 that he opposes marriage equality after Amendment 83 to the Arkansas Constitution, which prohibits same-sex marriage, was judged unconstitutional.

Ross is against gun control and is one of the few Democratic members of Congress to consistently earn an A+ rating from the National Rifle Association's Political Victory Fund.

Throughout his time in the U.S. House of Representatives, Ross was consistently ranked as one of the most independent and moderate Members of Congress by National Journal.

When Ross left Congress in 2013, he was ranked as the sixth most conservative Democrat in the entire U.S. House of Representatives.

He now running for governor of Arkansas.

We are only couple months apart in age. He even kicked me in the nuts during a game of kick ball outside the Prescott Community Center one annual Avery Reunion. Cried for hours while hiding in the Nandina bushes that day.

Anyway...

ABEL's out to settle a score.

Wouldn't you, if a distant cousin threw you under a yellow school bus satisfing their political ambitions.

GEAUX BRAVES!!!

Which bible character do you most associate with?

I have so many!
