Yeah, I've run into a few... A church down the road a bit from me advertises themselves as "King James Only". I've never entered their building.

There are plenty of "considerably more conservative than I am" churches that prefer New American Standard, or ESV, or NASB, but aren't dogmatic about which translation. -- Mike Van Pelt | "I don't advise it unless you're nuts." mvp at calweb.com | -- Ray Wilkinson, after riding out Hurricane KE6BVH | Ike on Surfside Beach in Galveston
