My only lament about the world of NT textual criticism is that the KJ only
cult gives us a bad name, just as televangelists have given Christianity a
bad name.  
We as Christians and scholars can debate and argue about differing texts and
variants and interpretation all day long, but once this ignorant and cultic
aspect enters in, so along with it does fallacy, lies and darkness.  I should
know, I was a KJ only person for a short while (due to the teachings of my
pastor, Chuck Smith), but after I read the other side of the argument I knew
I (and Chuck) was wrong.  
So, I continue on my journey through the world (small as it may be, but
mightily needed) of NT textual criticism in hopes of educating this group and
erradicating it's teachings (I can dream can't I?). 
Anyway, don't mean to take up anymore precious space in this great forum.
 Continue on scholars!!!
