I had been given an ultimatum in October of 2014 by a local Independent Baptist church, where I had attended for 11 months, to SHUT UP about the King James Bible! God wanted me to SPEAK UP, but those shameful pastors wanted me to SHUT UP! The pastors told me to either stop warning other church members that the new Bible versions are corrupt, or I wasn't welcomed at their church anymore. So I left as a testimony against them before the Lord. Their church officially uses two Bibles (which they sell to members as a parallel edition in one book): the ERV and the KJB (but members also use dozens of different versions, which the pastor admitted to me). The church encourages it! WHAT A MESS! It has gotten so bad nowadays that you just can't find good churches anymore.
When I recently spoke with one of the assistant pastors of the church, he asked, “Do you think that God led you to our church as a voice against us.” He is addressing my testimony against them for using the modern corrupt Bibles, and their teaching of the heresy of Lordship Salvation. I honestly told the pastor that whether or not God sent me to warn them I do not know, but I do know one thing... THEY HAVE NOW BEEN WARNED! They are now fully accountable to God. I do believe they are in serious trouble with the Lord. Those backslidden pastors just may get a big surprise on judgment day, when God tells them that He did lead me to attend that church, so that those pastors could be warned. 2nd Chronicles 36:16, “But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.” We'll see on judgment day. We'll see!

"So I left as a testimony against them before the Lord. "
So, which procedure did you follow? Ask for an ordnance? A cease and desist?
"Those backslidden pastors just may get a big surprise on judgment day,"
And here I tought the judgement periods were excessive in my country...
Is Rev. Stewart really saying he got reprimanded from an Independant Baptist church for being too fundamentalist?
And churches, like any other organizaton, is perfectly entitled to take action, up to expulsion, against any member disturbing the order of the meetings.
Isn't the KJV one of these modern corrupt Bibles? Why, i'ts only about 400 years old. Jesus lived about 2000 years ago, (supposedly). Get back to the old and uncorrupted ones in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek!
I honestly laughed at a Baptist church kicking Davey out for not shutting up about the KJV. They probably also got rid of him for not shutting up about women wearing pants and sexually-suggestive 20 year old Disney movies.
But you know there's something wrong with you when you're too fundie for the Baptists.
Wow! For once, I want to high-five a frummy INDEPENDENT Baptist, call him awesome and buy him lunch!
Also, I doubt the good Pastor talked to D.J. Stupid like a supervillian.
"We'll see!"
'...because if you ALL don't use the KJV, I'll... hold my breath! Yes, that's it! That'll show you all!
It's not as if I want you to go to Hell!'
I am now imagining Davey-boy as someone who is Tsundere . X3

"But you know there's something wrong with you when you're too fundie for the Baptists."
Jimmy Carter is a devout Southern Baptist, yet he has used the pre -1954 Pledge of Allegiance - omitting the words 'Under God' - which is still valid.
If Davey-boy heard that, he'd have aneurysms. >:D
The KJV translators never claimed their work was perfect; only that it was the best they could do. Jesus' disciples used the Septuagint, a fairly poor Greek translation of the Hebrew scripture. The KJV translators note this and offer it as an argument against worrying about whether their translation or any other is "perfect".
"The translation of the Seventy [the Septuagint] dissenteth from the original in many places, neither doth it come near it for perspicuity, gravity, majesty; yet which of the Apostles did condemn it? Condemn it? Nay, they used it, (as it is apparent, and as Saint Hierome [Jerome] and the most learned men to confess) which they would not have done, nor by their example of using it, so grace and commend it to the Church, if it had been unworthy the appellation and name of the Word of God."
They also note that they made many changes to their work, and argued with critics that there's nothing wrong with making a change when you discover an error. They pointed out that St. Jerome (the main translator of the Latin Vulgate) did likewise.
So I left as a testimony against them before the Lord.
Much to the relief and delight of the other members, no doubt.
"I do believe..."
Hey, Dave:

Ha! This is an interesting insight into Davey's real life. Delusions of grandeur because he can "preach" on a website, but pent up with anger and frustration because real churches not only won't let him take over their congregations , but tell him he doesn't know what he's talking about and toss him out like the nutjob he is.
Oh his Gawd, the ego on Diddler McGee.
"I tried to tell them that what they believed was wrong and they were fundie-ing wrong because Gawd chose ME!!"
So this church wants to kick you out because you're using the "wrong" version of the bibble, but your conviction for sexual interference with a minor is cool? Wow, they really need to do a better job picking their issues.
well
1) The KJV IS a modern corrupt Bible. This is a conclusion of trained educated Biblical Scholars, people who actually study and know about such things. Not uneducated fools wrapped in dogma like you.
2) This may have nothing to do with you being not welcome there, leeching over the young girls may be the actual reason.
3) You do not know a God let alone have conversations with him.
just can't find good churches anymore.
Let me help you out, just go here, you'll fit right in:

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
@Doubting Thomas
Baptists represent a very large range of different people. They go from extremely conservative, to extremely liberal. Most would be considered moderate or centrist. The fundies are just really loud, and that's why you associate all Baptists with them.
The Southern Baptist convention was considered somewhat liberal until the late 70s and early 80s when it was hijacked by fundamentalists. Most of the non-fundies left but some refused to leave and allow the fundies that victory over them, so you do occasionally run into centrist and liberal Southern Baptists.
This all brings to mind Emo Philip's Golden Gate Bridge joke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3fAcxcxoZ8
I have an hypothesis on David here. I think he, much like many other people who did horrendous things, became ultra religious and then, much like many of them, started to blame everyone else. I believe these 'demons of paedophilia' is just one way a man who is not sorry for what he did, to evade responsibility.
Would not be shocked that he is such a coward. It's Hollywood and the government who made him do it. Not his own sick mind.

... I am trained in gorilla warfare ...
Haha. I remember when the Hell's Angels wanted to enlist and go to Viet Nam, with their Harleys, and be gorillas.
(Oops. Philbert McAdamia)
@checkmate-
Don't give him any ideas, he'd have to move to Kansas, and it's bad enough we got those idiots living in this state. We also have the International House of Prayer over in Kansas City, so I'd say the 70 mile radius around me has well filled it's fundie quota. We don't need any more.
In this day and age God should know better than to send a pedophile as a prophet. It may have got away with it in the past, when such things weren't as stigmatised, but now the risk is too high. The bad PR would kill off Christianity for good.
The only person who is going to be surprised come Judgement Day is you David. When you stand before your God and he casts you into Hell for eternity for your sins, your heresies, your blasphemies, and taking His name in vain on a daily basis.
"God wanted me to SPEAK UP"
Funny how God always concurs with what you want, right? He's your own little yes-men, huh?
Did he want you to have sex with that kid? How's the weather in Guam?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
