NURSE BOB DUCKWORTH AND OFFICER GRAHAM: DEKALB MOBILE CRISIS UNIT'S VISIT # 15..?

Silence Equals Consent : Dialogue Equals ?

   

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_quick_and_the_dead_(idiom):  The Quick and the Dead is an English phrase originating in William Tyndale's English translation of the New Testament (1526), "I testifie therfore before god and before the lorde Iesu Christ which shall iudge quicke and deed at his aperynge in his kyngdom" [2 Tim 4:1], and used by Thomas Cranmer his translation of the Nicene Creed and Apostles' Creed for the first Book of Common Prayer (1540). In the following century the idiom was referenced both by Shakespeare's Hamlet (1603) and the King James Bible (1611).

The use of the word quick in this context is an archaic one. Here, the word specifically means living or alive (a meaning still retained in the "quick" of the fingernails, and in the idiom quickening, as the moment in pregnancy when fetal movements are first felt. Another common phrase, "cut to the quick", literally means cut through the dead, unfeeling layers of the skin to the living, sensitive tissues below.

The phrase is found in three passages in the 1611 King James version of the Bible: in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 10:42), Paul's letters to Timothy (2 Timothy 4:1), and the First Epistle of Peter. The last reads: "For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead".

This passage advises the reader of the perils of following outsiders in not obeying God's will. Specifically it warns that those who sin, both the quick and the dead, will be judged by Jesus Christ. In other words, it implies that God is able to act on the sins of a person whether that person is alive (quick) or has passed into the afterlife (dead).

James Avery Hello Elena. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity after the town hall meeting was over sharing some concerns of mine regarding upcoming compliance hearing relating to inappropriate signage 1840 Mason Mill Road. Just wanting to repeat some of my thoughts having shared with you that evening as we were walking down that long hallway. First I quoted Martin Luther King's "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Then I asked what that quote means to you? Although you attempted answering my question, it was apparent to me this was a question having caught you off guard; one needing more time/thought put into it. So I went ahead and shared what is now my current understanding of this quote by MLK resulting from my experience over these signs of mine having everyone upset. "If there is a line that can be reached where you resort to manipulation, deception, perniciousness, prevarication, looking the other way, refusing to acknowledge, feigning ignorance; then in the end after all is said and done, I don't care how far apart these lines are, you (The Progressives!) are no different or better than them (The Conservative!)." Next, I spoke of the neighborhood I'm wanting to believe I live being one that extends halfway around the world in all four directions to a same point in the "Indian" Ocean; that you can't get any bigger a neighborhood than this. That a person who actively makes an effort thinking like this is going to think/behave differently than one believing just Mason MIll, Decatur, Georgia, the South, USA, etc., to be his/hers/their neighborhood. Then I finished off with "Bias can be real, as well as pernicious, without being legally actionable.

James Avery Again, before this upcoming trial/code compliance hearing April 18 that very well may end up with me in jail for three weeks, it would be nice of you reaching out to me and allowing me a chance explaining my actions. Otherwise, if unable finding anyone supportive of anything I'm trying to stand up for, then, I'm ready to give up. Having the Sherry Boston/Charles Butts sign in mind which was censored by Fox5News, If Dylan Roof still prefers life in prison as opposed to death by lethal injection, I would like to discuss the possibility of State of Georgia doing a prisoner swap with State of South Carolina. In exchange, I will forgo all appeals in South Carolina contesting Dylan's death sentence, in the process, saving South Carolina time and money; State of Georgia getting to decide Dylan Roof fate after Dylan first earning a Master of Divinity certificate from Emory the same as they did with Kelly Gissendaner; "There is no greater an agony than a story needing to be told." ~Maya Angelou

Hello Officer Davis,

I'm  assuming this email was sent before your trip out to my house yesterday afternoon.

To answer your question; all is the same.  

But thank you anyway for checking up on me for my sister calling from Arkansas.  She's wanting me flying home for a visit; but that is not going to happen!  And the interesting thing about all this...that's where all the guns are as well!!!  I have never owned a gun (except for the shotgun given to me by my brother while I was still in elementary school) or even cared to own a gun, but it kinda pisses me off knowing my name might be on that list of people forbidden to buy a gun!  It's tempting, the idea of me going home just to have a few pictures taken of me with my brother's Bushmaster to upload to my blogs here in Atlanta!  THEN  SIT BACK AND WATCH THEM LIBTARDS ALL HAVE A COW!!!

If I'm going to have a probation supervisor assigned to me, I'm taking advantage of it then,,,BEST FRIEND!

Sincerely yours,

James E. Avery
