the fact that they do not read or use the original 1611 KJV version is proof that they themselves do not believe their own propaganda.
by the way the original 1611 KJV had the Apocrypha in it.
So the KJV Only crowd must accept the Apocrypha otherwise they show themselves to be hypocrites.

This is ignorant.
The "updated" KJVs are updated in regards to spelling and typeface (font).
The Apocrypha was included in the KJV in between the OT and the NT. That fact, coupled with the fsct it was labelled "apocrypha", clearly shows the translators did not view it as the Word. They even prefaced it with a statement to that effect.
And yes, I have a 1611 version. And I doubt you have an original or a COPY of "the original" since the 1611s sold at bookstores are set in a different font. The ORIGINAL is in a calligraphic Olde English font whereas the store "facsimiles" are in a unique Romanized typeface. The store versions also lack the geneology charts. A true facsimile copy is available only one place and it ain't cheap.
