>>my Baptist roots, I hold to the Authorized King James version and

>>copyright legislation, but the right to disseminate the KJV is
>>bestowed upon whomever the Sovereign wishes to grant it to, and today
>>that right is held by Cambridge University Press. Not only that, but
>>the KJV was written by Anglicans with an ulterior political agenda,
>>and nothing could go into the KJV that the king, as the
