I have heard mentioned many times Brother Richard Merrit, pastor of Trinity in Camden I think, was going to bring his church's recommendation/resolution for the KJV only use among churches and in the messenger meetings. While I disagree strongly with this (since the Textus Receptus, Masoretic Text, and any proper static equivalent or literal wooden translation are all equally God's Word in my eyes), I would still like to know if this was brought up at the messenger meeting at all. Just curious here. Maybe you mentioned it and I didn't see it. Please lemme know via email to BrotherSnyder@live.com. Thanks.
