"You think our job is to win souls to Christ. All we do, by getting in their face and putting these signs in front of them and these plain words, is make what's already in their heart come out of their mouth."
Dear Shirley,
I am unable disagreeing with anything you have said within this quote I came across just recently being credited to you. And for some reason since, I'm wanting to meet you. I had already told myself before the Supreme Court issued their ruling with the Snyder vs. Phelps case, that I was going to be completely okay with a ruling in your favor; although a FAG myself. Just another word for homosexual. Having eleven children yourself, can just as easily label you a SOW. That's still a pig ain't it? Even a SWINE.
If right is right, wrong is wrong; then something not quite right, nor completely wrong, has to fall somewhere in between..? And something is telling me when looping into a circle what I thought was a line originally, there is a chance, although more likely not than so, you and me might have a lot more in common than we both are wanting to believe; at least the way we are seen from the perspective of others.
I am an avowed fifty-three year old self-avowed practicing homosexual currently living within the shadows of near-by Emory University. And during the course of my gay lifetime, which would be half my lifetime, I have had sex with over more than a thousand men.
Do not get me wrong. I am not bragging.
Just Simply Jim simply stating a fact as to how his life happened. But I do get a kick out of watching people predictably reacting to me telling them this. Even a crystal meths dealer of mine was appalled upon hearing me telling him this.
"I thought you had a boyfriend...?"
~(Simply Jim: Mature Methodist Crackhead)~
"I DO HAVE A BOYFRIEND!"
~(Drug Dealer)~
"Then you just count that one every day; wasn't bragging here."
~(Simply Jim: With Each Day I Love You More..?)~
Nor am I ashamed of my past.
You learn as you go. And I've learned a lot about the true nature of people, even about my very own family and tribe I thought I's at least knew, the hard way that could not have been learned any other way. The same as you have. Through Constructive Confrontations as I like calling it.

Part 2)
I'm not expecting us finding much we agree upon; just thinking a chance the outcome might be somewhat surprising/amusing to the both of us.
[Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia - Shirley Lynn Phelps-Roper (born Shirley Lynn Phelps, October 31, 1957) is an American lawyer and political activist. She is best known as the former spokesperson of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, an organization known for its highly publicized homophobic public protests conducted under the slogan "God Hates Fags." Phelps has been highly criticized and taunted by the media for her perceived religious fanaticism and poor parenting.
Phelps-Roper practices law for Phelps-Chartered Co., the Phelps family's law firm established by her father in 1964, and is currently licensed to practice before all Kansas courts up through the United States Supreme Court.
Besides her father Fred, Shirley Phelps-Roper has been the most active spokesperson of the Westboro Baptist Church and answers many of the e-mails sent to the church in a column called "Dear Shirley."
Phelps-Roper and the church have received media coverage for the group's aggressive preaching and controversial campaigns such as the picketing the funerals of AIDS victims with signs such as "God hates fags" and funeral processions for American soldiers killed in combat.
In 2014 it was reported that Phelps-Roper's duties as spokesperson for the Westboro Church had been reduced, and her authority transferred to an all-male board of elders.]
Although I label myself a radical atheist as an adult, I'm okay with being labeled a Methodist Fag due to my first eighteen years raised with the help of First United Methodist Church of Prescott, Arkansas. As we must first be introduced to God before being aware of God, I have only recently realized that I have always been and forever always will be Methodist til the day I die; no less than Jesus ever stopped being a Jew.
Absolutely refuse being labeled a Christian as it tells you absolutely nothing about anyone.
[Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia - Though the main purpose of the Priests Rape Boys website is to criticize Catholicism, the WBC also criticizes several mainline Protestant churches on the website, including Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Anglicans, and Baptists. The WBC states that
...their preachers have shirked their responsibility to tell people the truth about sin, and instead lie to them about what the Lord their God doth require of them. If these lying, false prophets told people the truth about what God says regarding those who suffer sin upon their neighbor (Lev. 19:17–18), there wouldn't be any butts in the seats when the plate got passed. These preachers are not preachers of righteousness, they are teachers having itching ears (2Tim 4:3), and they absolutely count on the abysmal bible illiteracy of their parishioners ... "Priests rape boys" is indeed an air-tight, three word case against all of the mainline "christian" churches – their preachers and members, without exception. They are all going to Hell!]
Although I do not completely agree with the over generalization with the above statement by your church, you did hit it on the nose with our Methodist. They do have "itching ears."
Because of a feud between me and members of Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church located on Emory Campus, I have recently conceptualized my suicide based on my theological orientation. Was wondering, would you and your church be interested in preemptively picketing the funeral of TAO~g(SIMPLY JIM: METHODIST FAG THE POLITICAL CATALYST)d~OG at his home.
I do own my home outright.
And there is a sidewalk running down my side of the street as well.
And you are most welcome to picket my home from this sidewalk passing through my property while your van parked in my driveway.
Or you could turn you attention elsewhere?
As the faculty and students are leaving Emory University during later part of the afternoons; can be a good bit of traffic passing by in front of my home. Sometimes backing up on Mason Mill Road down the hill in front of my home due to stoplight at the Clairmont intersection just up the hill.
Sincerely yours,
James E. Avery, DVM
p.s. Could you at least let me know that you have received this email. I'm a bit suspicious my emails are being tampered with. Just too quite out there..? Feel free using what every language you like. Will not offend.

It's frustrating that comments to this news reports are scattered over more than one internet site. Way more commenting on CBS46NEWS' Facebook page.https://www.facebook.com/CBS46/posts/10155504500696252

Its his property its a free country, hit dogs holler and the sqeaking wheels get the grease, ignore him, natural selection is a valid process that does occur.

Why do the POLICE NOT ARREST HIM?
James Avery ·
I hope this answers your question Rob?

Back during Thanksgiving November 2010, I put into effect my own drug addiction intervention by telling everyone. Everyone! However I made one grave mistake. I made the mistake of starting...first...with the only friendly neighbor I wrongly thought I had at the time; the wife of Bob (George Robert Gary, Sr. ThD), the mother of Bert (George Robert Gary, Jr. MDiv), mother of Susan (Susan Gary Landry, MDiv) living in the house directly across the street from mine. ANd this is what I've since learned: When you do your own drug addiction intervention, you do not have the support group needed helping you stay off. Not even a church. In this case, not even a "United" Methodist Church entrusted with the first eighteen years of my life; the most impressionable years of my life. If there is any one thing I'm most certain about as it relates to the "inappropriate" signage/behavior 1840 Mason Mill Road, it's not me who's not doing the right thing.
Rob Reynolds
Mr. James Avery, what exactly is your grievance with Emory.? We need to talk about this in person. Come see me at the Yerkes Primate Center. I will show you our monkeys and show you how we cure addiction in our monkeys. Come Monday at 4 pm.
James Avery ·
Rob Reynolds I wasn't aware monkeys had a crystal meths problem..?
Rob Reynolds
I work at Emory and we need to get together and have a Methodist Tribunal and get everything out here in the open and let the chips fall where they may.
Bring your meth to the Yerkes Primate Research Center and come to my office on the top floor. Don't let those idiots on the first floor stop you from coming up to my office. I have to slap them around every day and I suggest you do the same thing.

James Avery ·
I have a better idea. Why don't you come bang (knock) on my front door. This way, I will I can be somewhat assured that your intentions maybe sincere..?
James Avery ·
One door and only one, yet their sides are two. Inside and outside, which side choose you? As God's house is middle of our street, I rather not go there. But there is a sidewalk my side of the street. Come proselytize with me, "good" neighbor. Proselytize. I've been available now going on seven years. Proselytize!
Rob Reynolds
James Avery, do you cook your own meth or buy it from the CIA ?
James Avery ·
Kim, this comment is posted to you. Hate being the one telling you this, but your journalism is seriously flawed/biased. How about allowing me uploading to my blog everything your cameraman recorded of your interview..."straight to the source"? It s the right thing to do. I knew you were going to do this.
