AN EXCELLENT DBS MEETING THE ORDINATION OF DANIEL WAITE
TO THE GOSPEL MINISTRYJULY 27-28, JULY 29, 31, 2011
WELL– I AM FINALLY RESTED FROM THE DEAN BURGON SOCIETY’S ANNUAL MEETING (July 27-28,
2011) I was PLUMB TIRED OUT! HOW ABOUT YOU? WAS EXCITED THAT SO MANY OF OUR DEAN BURGONSOCIETY & BIBLE FOR TODAY FRIENDS CAME ALL THE WAY TO COLLINGSWOOD, NEW JERSEY. THEYCAME AS FAR AWAY AS CALIFORNIA, ALBERTA, CANADA, AND BRAZIL! MANY STAYED AT THE NEARBY
DAY’S INN. ONE COUPLE GOT A SURPRISINGLY GOOD DEAL AT THE CROWN PLAZA--CHEAPER THAN THE
DAYS INN! IMAGINE THAT!!
AT LEAST TWENTY STATES WERE REPRESENTED AT THE CONFERENCE, AS WELL AS FIVE FOREIGN
COUNTRIES! DR. WAITE AND I HAD A HOUSE GUEST FROM NORTH DAKOTA THE WHOLE TIME! LATER A
FRIEND FROM PENNSYLVANIA STAYED THE WEEK-END. RIGHT NOW, AS I WRITE, A FRIEND FROM CANADA
IS WITH US. She loves to clean, of all things. So, I am letting her clean my house.
DANIEL WAITE ORDAINED BY BFTBC IN COLLINGSWOOD NJ, JULY 31, 2011
I admit that sometimes, my head was in a whirl with people coming & going–--EATING & TALKING––and
JUST PLAIN VISITING!
Many were a part of DANIEL WAITE’S THEOLOGICAL QUESTIONING FOR HIS ORDINATION
EXAMINATION (July 29, 2011): HIS CONVERSION, HIS CALL TO THE MINISTRY, AND HIS DOCTRINAL
POSITION. Our church questioned him with the prospect of his being ordained the following Sunday. Personally, it was a joy to be at the QUESTIONING! They were good questions, too! His answers were excellent! The room was full!
And--as my husband had told me, a few days earlier--our son knew his theology backwards and forward.

DAN PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS DANIEL STEPHEN WAITE WAS ORDAINED BY THE Bible For Today Baptist Church ON SUNDAY MORNING,
JULY 31, 2011. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY OF THAT FRIDAY QUESTIONING, AND THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY’S
ORDINATION SERVICE, ASK FOR either cassette or DVD. Cassette tape (BFT #4017TP @ $4.00 + $2 S&H) or DVD

THE DBS WOMEN MET WEDNESDAY,
July 27, 2011, IN THE MORNING
I WANT TO TELL YOU SO MUCH ABOUT THE 33rd ANNUAL MEETING OF THE DEAN BURGON SOCIETY!
So, I think I will begin with the DBS WOMEN. Now–for sure–our women’s meetings are NOT the most important
sessions of the DBS CONFERENCES; BUT the DBS women are dear to my heart. Scores of years ago, MRS.
JANE HOLLOWOOD & I decided to get the wives of the DBS Executive Committee and DBS Advisory Council
involved in the textual debate, hoping other women would catch the “fire.” After all, women are some of the mainteachers in the world! Who teaches the children from childhood to adulthood? Who is involved in Sunday School and Bible Schoolteaching? Who does most of the “home schooling? Often it is the women. So, it is with this in mind that the DBS WOMEN meetevery year while the men are in their Executive Committee. Some women, of course, choose not to attend. In my opinion--that is theirloss–THEY ARE MISSED!.
TAMARA WAITE SPOKE ON TEARS & WEEPINGTAMARA WAITE, Daniel Waite’s wife, reminded us of those who wept “tears” in the Bible.
It is those very people, about whom we read, every time we open that Blessed Book. They were
human beings like you and me. “HEAR MY PRAYER, O LORD, AND GIVE EAR UNTO MY CRY;
HOLD NOT THY PEACE AT MY TEARS . . .” (Psalm 39:12) They had heartaches and cares just like we do.
Tamie opened up the Words of God and shared some private tears of those early PATRIARCHS & SAINTS.PLEASE GET TAMARA WAITE’S MESSAGE (It is BFT #4015DVDWaiteTamie @
$15.00+$7.00 S&H). I personally want to go over that talk with an open heart once again. I
told her I would like to do a JUST FOR WOMEN radio program with her on the subject some time, but not untilmy cataract surgery is a thing of the past.
TAMIE WANTED US TO SING AN OLD FASHIONED SONG. I’m sure you remember“BRINGINGIN THE SHEAVES.” Whenever an old-time church is portrayed on television, we viewers can hear this song sungover and over again. Maybe you remember hearing it on LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE. It is a favorite of ourfriend, Barbara Crowder. I thought of her as we sang it. Here is the last stanza–written by KNOWLES SHAW.

BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES “Going forth with weeping, sowing for the Master, Tho’ the loss sustained our spirit often grieves;
When our weeping’s over, He will bid us welcome, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.”
ANNE MARIE NOYLE & THE HISTORY OF THE KJBTHIS YEAR, WE DBS WOMEN WERE BLESSED BY TWO WOMEN WHO INSTRUCTED US ON THE
TEXTUAL SUBJECT. ANNE MARIE NOYLE FROM ONTARIO, CANADA, WAS A TROOPER! With very little warning
to speak, she taught us “THE HISTORY OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE.” It was timely, good, accurate, & interesting! (BFT
#4015DVDNoyle @ $15.00+$7.00 S&H).
She told us that while the KJB translators began their translation work, a dark, sinister, occult plot
was in the making. The Jesuits were working feverishly to influence the people of England to return to the Roman CatholicChurch. That was in the summer of July 1604. The plot was to assassinate King James. The plotters wanted to put King James’young daughter on the throne of England, indoctrinating her in the Catholic faith at the same time. YOU SHOULD GET THIS!
JOY WALLNOFER & THE GENEVA BIBLEThen, JOY WALLNOFER BLESSED OUR HEARTS WITH HER TALK ON “WHY NOT THE GENEVA BIBLE?”
If we women did not know much about that Bible before, we do now. I was proud of her work. (BFT
#4015DVDWallnofer @ $15.00+$7.00 S&H). She told us that there were one hundred and fifty different English editions
of the GENEVA BIBLE in its seventy-five years of printing. In fact, the first edition was printed in 1560, fifty-one years before the
1611 King James Bible went to press. It was a most interesting talk. GET IT!
CLELIA ALMEIDA FROM BRAZIL CLELIA ALAMEIDA–all the way from BRAZIL-- told us of her work, with her husband,
near their home in BARZILLIA (BFT #4015DVDCleliaAlmeida @ $15.00+$7.00
S&H). It had been six years since we last saw her and her husband, Pedro. He is a retired
BRAZILIAN air force Colonel. My, they were a sight for sore eyes! My husband met Pedro throughthe e-mail or the internet years ago. He was disturbed over the inaccuracies in his Portuguese Bible. It was then that Dr. Waite recommended to them a Bible College nearby. They attended and graduated
from that school with flying colors. The ALMEIDAS taught the children in their neighborhood so well that the children’s lives began to
change. SAD TO SAY-- those life-changes were not welcomed by the parents of the children. They forbade their children to attendthe Bible studies. How heartbreaking! We trust that the seed that was planted in the hearts of those children and young people willbear fruit as the children grow into adulthood.
THE DBS WOMEN IN SONG One of the delights of the morning for me was the congregational singing of the women. It was during
our singing of P. B Bliss’s song “HALLELUJAH, WHAT A SAVIOUR,” THAT A CAMERA MAN FROM
PHILADELPHIA’S CHANNEL 6 CAME INTO THE AUDITORIUM WITH HIS BIG CAMERA. THE PHOTOGRAPHER
SHOT VIDEO OF US AS I WAS LEADING THE SINGING. Later, JoAnn Nawrocki said she saw us on the four o’clock news!
THAT HYMN REMINDED US WOMEN OF JESUS CHRIST,
HIS SUFFERING & HIS TEARS. “Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him
from death, and was heard in that he feared;”Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal
salvation unto all them that obey him. . .” (Hebrews 5:7-9)

NOW TO THE DBS CONFERENCE ITSELFTHE WAITE’S HOUSE WAS TOO SMALL
BECAUSE THE BIBLE FOR TODAY BAPTIST
CHURCH, MEETS IN OUR HOME HERE ON PARK
AVENUE IN COLLINGSWOOD, NEW JERSEY, THE
CHURCH ROOM IS NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR THOSE
WHO WOULD ATTEND THE DEAN BURGON SOCIETY’S
ANNUAL MEETING.
The DBS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE &ADVISORY COUNCIL wanted us to meet in
Collingswood this KJB 400 anniversary year. (By the way, it was theth
Society’s 33 year.) So, the BIBLE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH of Collingswood onrd
Collingswood’s Haddon Avenue opened its doors for the gathering. That church is different in many serious doctrinalpositions from either the Presbyterian USA denomination, the Orthodox Presbyterians, or the Presbyterian Churches ofAmerica. The church’s pastor is CHRISTIAN SPENCER, J.D.
THE BP CHURCH STANDS
WITH DBS ON
TEXTUAL MATTERSAnyhow, THE BIBLE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (WHERE
WE HAD OUR DBS MEETING A FEW WEEKS AGO) TAKES THE
SAME STAND AS THE DEAN BURGON SOCIETY DOES ON THE
HEBREW, ARAMAIC, GREEK WORDS & TEXTUAL MATTERS
CONCERNING THE KING JAMES BIBLE.
If you recall from the DBS statements, the DEAN
BURGON SOCIETY’S members agree on the textual matters.
That is where those in the society find fellowship and consent. We do not talk about baptism, footwashing, future things, or church polity, etc. The DBS is a ONE ISSUE SOCIETY! We come together because of our stand onthe Bible and the original languages from which that AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE stands. The King James Bible
is the best English translation of the RECEIVED GREEK TEXT and the Masoretic HEBREW TEXT. THIS IS WHERE THE DBS
HAS ALWAYS STOOD!

THE BOOK TABLES WERE POPULAR PLACESHOW HAPPY WE WERE TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE FROM SO MANY DIFFERENT PLACES ASSEMBLE
IN THAT LARGE CHURCH AUDITORIUM. YES IT WAS HOT! The air conditioner broke and the pew seats
were hard; but the joy of being together helped us fan ourselves in
thanksgiving for such fellowship! Rich Trawinski brought battery
operated fans. HE GAVE ME ONE. The old fashioned funeral parlor fans
helped, too. There was much bulletin fanning going on and personal perspiration, butI determined not to complain–remembering my childhood days with no air conditioningand few fans.
The back section of the huge church was roped off so people
would sit forward in the main auditorium. Near the back of the front
section were the BOOK TABLES. PEOPLE COULD SEE The Bible For Today
and The DEAN BURGON SOCIETY BOOK TABLES. HOW GOOD TO SEE
PEOPLE CROWDING AROUND THEM AND BUYING BOOKS!

THE MUSIC MINISTRY OF DICK CARROLLFOR ME, ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CONFERENCE WAS
THE CONGREGATIONAL SINGING. Dick CARROLL, our BIBLE FOR TODAY
BAPTIST CHURCH PIANIST, sat at the keyboard, or was seated at the organ for
all the congregational singing. What a blessing to share his musical gift with ourfriends in the church and around the world by “live streaming.” You who are familiarwith the BFTBC church services viewed on the BROWN BOX at BibleForToday.org,know the “gift” this ninety-year old musician is to Dr. Waite’s ministry.
THE FIRST DBS DAY: JULY 27, 2011DR. BARNETT: A FAITHFUL VICE PRESIDENTIt’s always good to see PASTOR BOB BARNETT from Michigan. His speech was on “STANDARDS OF
KJB EXCELLENCE” (BFT #4015Barnett @ $15.00 + $8.00 S&H). He stated the following:
“The first standard of excellence is self-explanatory. The consistent 400-year record of Bible believingsaints and churches making the Authorized King James Bible their English standard for faith andpractice. The British could once proudly claim that the sun never sets on the British Empire. Today,because of God’s divine providence, we praise His name that the sun still never sets on the King JamesBible which built the British Empire, the United Sates of America, and other nations included in what isnow called Western Civilization.”
PASTOR BARNETT HAS BEEN THE DEAN BURGON SOCIETY’S FAITHFUL VICE-
PRESIDENT ALL THESE YEARS. His personal faithfulness and his church’s support to the Society
does not go without notice. WHAT A FRIEND! I remember when my sister lived in Michigan after myparents went “HOME” to be with the Lord. He and Donna visited her monthly, reporting to me how she was doing. (Beverly wasborn brain damaged.) You have probably read the poems about her in GERTRUDE SANBORN’S (my mother) poem book, WITH
TEARS IN MY HEART (BFT #3196 @ $25.00+$8.00 S&H). Some day I would like to reprint her book called ABLE
TO BEAR IT.
PASTOR RAINEY: NOT A BJU CLONEPASTOR KEN RAINEY FROM SOUTH CAROLINA HAS TAKEN A
STAND FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE IN THE
GREENVILLE, SC AREA. Get his message on “Overcoming anti-KJB
Schools” (BFT #4015DVDRainey @ $15.00+$7.00 S&H). When my
husband was the guest speaker at Pastor Rainey’s church a few years ago, more than halfof his congregation left in protest. They did not like my husband. (They must have beenBob Jones University clones--I guess.) Dr. Waite has spoken at the WAYSIDEBAPTIST CHURCH several times in the recent years. LET ME QUOTE FROMPASTOR RAINEY HIMSELF WHEN HE SAID::
“Think of the risks taken, blood shed and suffering endured by those who clung to, treasured,hid and preached (though in danger of death) the RECEIVED TEXT, God’s Words, recordedand preserved by God. I cringe at the glib thoughtless low motives of many of the pseudo-scholars, who ravish the precious Words of God for popularity and profit.”
Lt. Col. PEDRO ALMEIDA WAS THERE BRAZIL’S COLONEL PEDRO ALMEIDA has a burden for the PORTUGUESE
BIBLE. “HOW THE KJB HELPED WITH THE PORTUGUESE BIBLE ”’was the title
of his speech (BFT #4015DVDPedroAlmeida @ $15.00+$7.00 S&H). He said the
following:

“THE BATTLE FOR THE WORD OF GOD
MUST BE FOUGHTIN EVERY LANGUAGE IN EVERY NATION (Matthew 28:19)
BY EVERY GENERATION (message to the young);
FOR THE RIGHT REASONS (‘we use the KJB’)
AGAINST TH SAME ENEMY.” If I recall, this former Brazilian air force LT. COLONEL, met my husband through the e-mail. (I think
this is right, and not the internet.) They communicated on textual matters. Then Pedro came to the United
States to study in a Bible college that my husband recommended. HOW GOOD! At that time, Pedro and Clelia lived
close enough, that they often drove to Collingswood to attend our church. WHAT MEMORIES!
PASTOR DANIEL S. WAITE’S MESSAGE HIT HOME!PASTOR DANIEL WAITE’S WARNINGS WERE FORTHRIGHT! His speech, “DANGERS OF THE INSPIRED
KJB POSITIONS” (BFT #4015DVDWaiteDan @ $15.00+$7.00 S&H). has hit the fan! “DANGERS OF THE
INSPIRED KJB POSITIONS” was the subject!
Pastor Daniel told us that the word, “Inspiration is a precise doctrinal word.” He said that “When we start to alter doctrinal terms, we begin to set a precedent tochange other doctrinal terms.” Then he concluded, “THEN, WE DESTROY THEOLOGY!”
Continuing, he said something like this:“We are grateful for the martyrs and Christians whopaved the way for the King James Bible. BUT WE CANNOT SAY A TRANSLATION IS INSPIRED! GOD IS THE ONE WHO GAVE PARTICULAR WORDS. HE GAVE US HIS BIBLE!”
Some are so angry with this South Jersey theologian and his speech! They are
refuting his word and his position as I write! I THOUGHT HE DID A GOOD JOB–BUT
THEN, I AM HIS MOTHER! Why? Because EMOTIONALLY-FRAIL GAIL RIPLINGER
is writing furiously about him! I wonder what she would do with her poison pen if it were not for my sonsand my husband–-or me, too--as well as Dr. Stringer--to castigate?
DR. STRINGER KEPT OUR ATTENTIONPASTOR PHIL STRINGER FROM CHICAGO IS ALWAYS GOOD. His speech was “400 YEARS OF KJB
INFLUENCE” (BFT #4015DVDStringer @ $15.00+$8.00 S&H). Dr. Stringer keeps our attention. In his Preface, Dr.
Stringer mentioned the following:“All of a sudden, this constant barrage of criticism of the King James Bible is sufferingsome degree of disruption. As the four hundredth anniversary of the release of the KJBapproaches, attention is being focused on the incredible influence of the KJB over the lastfour hundred years. Some of the criticism is being replaced by a serious look at theliterary, political, linguistic, and cultural influence of the KJB. Hopefully, equal attentionwill also be placed upon the spiritual impact of the King James Bible.” BACK ON THE BOOK TABLE WAS PASTOR STRINGER’S LATEST BOOK, GAIL
RIPLINGER’S OCCULT CONNECTIONS. It is an eye opener (BFT #4011 @ $10.00 + $7.00
S&H)! Already the twice-divorced & thrice married PREVARICATING FRAIL RIPLINGER is frantically
and furiously refuting that little book. If it weren’t so serious, it would be humorous!
I have visited Pastor Stringer’s church in Chicago’s Ravenswood. I really enjoyed it there. The

church is a homogeneous church full of friendly people. WHAT A MISSION FIELD! When they sing, themusic swells the church with perfect praise! I liked it.
J. PAUL RENO MADE THE DIFFICULT EASYPASTOR J. PAUL RENO HAS THE GIFT OF TAKING A DIFFICULT & MISUNDERSTOOD
SUBJECT AND MAKING IT UNDERSTANDABLE. This he did in his SPEECH, “IS THE
KJB–INSPIRED OR TRANSLATED WORDS.” (BFT #4015DVDRenoJ.P. @ $15.00+$7.00
S&H). We remember PASTOR RENO YEARS AGO AROUND 1954 when both his father and Dr. Waite were
early teaching at Cedarville College. (It is now a University.) He said, “God would have us contend FOR The faith rather than be contentious about error. Since‘the faith’ is found in our Bibles, The Scriptures must be our authority. We have a safesource in the superb and irreplaceable translation, the King Jams Version.”
DR. SPENCER SPOKE OF THE KJB
& COPYRIGHT LAWS THE LAST SESSION OF THE FIRST NIGHT (July 27 ) wasth
given by DR. CHRISTIAN SPENCER. He is the pastor of the historicCOLLINGSWOOD BIBLE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH That is thechurch building where the DBS was meeting this year. (I’ve told you allabout that.) IS THE KJB COPYRIGHTED? WHY? was the title
of his speech! (BFT #4015DVDSpencer @ $15.00+$7.00
S&H). I must confess that it was way over my head. Yet, Norma C., my
house guest, understood most every word! Pastor Spencer is a full fledged lawyer, with a Doctor of Jurisprudence, as well as beinga busy pastor. Yes, his conviction on the King James Bible grows deep!
“BLESS THE LORD, OH MY SOULAND ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME BLESS HIS HOLY NAME.”

THE SECOND & LAST DBS DAY (July 28)ZEINNER’S CONCERN IS THE HEART LANGUAGE
DR. STEVEN ZEINNER, OF BEARING PRECIOUS SEED GLOBAL, WAS THE
FIRST SPEAKER! He is a good one. KJB’S INFLUENCE ON FOREIGN
TRANSLATION was his title (BFT #4015DVDZeinner@ $15.00+$7.00 S&H).
THE HEART LANGUAGE IS HIS BURDEN! He wants to get the Scriptures into thehands of those who have never had a good translation of the Bible. He is putting NewTestaments & Bible portions translated from the Received Text into the reader’s hands. By God’sgrace and the contributions of many, Dr. Zeinner is doing this. His “prayer & information”communications prove that he is doing this–one heart language at a time. When he was amissionary in Mexico, he discovered the difference between his English Bible and the SpanishBible he was using. He did not know it then, but the problem was the textual difference that DrWaite and others try to tell us about.
“For hundreds of years English-speaking missionaries from around the world have taken their Bible to theForeign field. Being called of God to a people so very different than themselves and who speak a strangelanguage, these faithful unselfish servants will want them to have a Bible equal to his. I could not imagine amissionary that would not want this for the people that he says he loves and has a burden to reach.”
WINOGRAD SPOKE ON THE SUPREME BIBLEThe second speaker that day was Chicago’s ROB WINOGRAD. We never tire of
hearing him tell how he was saved from a terrible life! In his search for the TRUTH,
he discovered the KING JAMES BIBLE. His message was titled “ACCEPTANCE E OF
KJB AS SUPREME” (BFT #4015DVDWinograd @ $15.00+$7.00 S&H). Rob told us
that
“The manifestation of God’s attributes and His Sovereignty are displayed in Hisability to preserve His Words through the ages, supplying each generation the lightof His Words according to His purpose, the KJB being ‘for such a time as this’”
(Esther 4:14).
He Reflected: “I asked my grandmother, born in 1898, if she used any other Bible than the KJB, and she
gave me her wisdom-filled answer. “NO!” My grandmother got saved at 85 years of age, after leading a clean religious life. . . . Herprayers for me from then on were effectual. She lived to be 99. She did not live to see me saved, but I do look forward to talkingwith her again and thanking her.”
GRUMBLATT ON THE DEVIL’S ATTACK ON THE BIBLEJAMES GRUMBLATT ALWAYS GIVES A POWERFUL MESSAGE. He spoke on
“ENEMIES OF THE KJB” (BFT #4015DVDGrumblatt @ $15.00+$7.00 S&H) In his quest
for the truth, MR. GRUMBLATT discovered that few people knew about BROOKE FOSSWESTCOTT AND FENTON JOHN ANTHONY HORT who had done tremendous damage to theKing James Bible’s popularity. They produced their own Greek text, as you probably know. Thatwas in the 1800's.
In his defense of the KJB’s “thee’s” & “thou’s,” Mr. Grumblatt encouraged us by
saying, “Do not allow those in academia to insult your intelligence!” He said, “It is not that difficultto grasp this very simple rule. If you can’t even remember those seven words, then simply remember this,if the pronoun starts with “T”, it is singular. If it starts with “Y”, it is plural.”

MARK RENO GAVE A CLEAR MESSAGEMARK RENO, WHO IS THE NEW DIRECTOR OF THE CONVERSION CENTER, SPOKE ON “THE
SUPERIORITY OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE” (BFT #4015DVDRenoMark @
$15.00+$7.00 S&H). He always gives a clear message. This year he told us WHY THE KJB
WAS SUPERIOR. He used a series of words to describe this “superiority. “THE KING JAMES BIBLE’S CREATOR WAS SUPERIOR. It is complete. The compilers are
unrivaled. He spoke of the considerate translator’s motives, as well as the lack of compromise in their work.
We learned that the Bible is constant, and it promises cleanliness. Best of all it will never cease! Get hiswork!
MIKE MONTE ENCOURAGED CHURCH VISITORS TO CHANGE TO THE KING JAMES BIBLE
“WISELY CONVERTING VISITORS TO THE KJB” was the title of PASTOR MIKE
MONTE’S MESSAGE. (BFT #4015DVDMonte @ $15.00+$7.00 S&H). Many times, visitors,
who attend a church that uses the King James Bible, need to be treated gently, carried along to thereasons that the church uses that Bible.
“Some people have never seen a King James. Some have never heard the differencesand advantages of the Bible that is celebrating 400 year this year. We do not want toth
offend the visitors. So with tenderness the pastor can point out some the deficiencies ofthe new versions. One way is to ask the visitor to turn to passages that are in the KingJames Bible but gone from the version they carry.”
You will have to hear Pastor Monte’s message on the internet. (BFT #4015DVDMonte
@ $15.00+$7.00 S&H). ONCE AGAIN, PASTOR MONTE TOLD HOW DR. WAITE’S WRITINGS, IN THE EARLY
EDITIONS OF THE DEAN BURGON NEWS, HELPED PASTOR MONTE AND HIS BROTHER TO STAND FOR THE
KJB WHILE STUDENTS AT BOB JONES UNIVERSITY. That university does not stand for the Received Text, as youknow. It is the text that underlies the King James Bible!
The MINNESOTA PASTOR warned, “When you say we are going to discuss the TEXTUAL ISSUE, your
church people may think you are giving a talk on ‘TEXTING’”! We must be careful to clarify our terms.
BOB DOOM’S BURDEN“KJB’S INFLUENCE ON MISSIONS & REVIVALS” WAS DR.
DOOM’S SUBJECT.Brother Doom challenged our hearts with his review ofGEORGE WHITEFIELD’S MINISTRY. In his day, Whitefield pointedout the danger of unconverted pastors serving in “unconverted” ministries. We have that same problem today! Whitefield got in trouble for preaching to the“unconverted” preachers in the Anglican church. He emphasized that a person hadto be BIRTHED INTO SALVATION. (Not baptized into it.)
We learned much that morning. We heard that GEORGEWHITEFIELD preached almost daily for three solid months. Dr. Doom related, “Because of
his preaching, there was a shaking of “dry bones” all the way to Boston!”
PSALM 56:3-4
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
In God I will praise his word,
in God I have put my trust;
I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

DAVID HOLLOWOOD’S “REAL WORLD” “ASSAULTS ON THE KING JAMES BIBLE” WAS DAVID HOLLOWOOD’S SUBJECT (BFT
#4015DVDHollowood @ $15.00+$7.00 S&H). We listeners were glad to see him at the
meeting here in Collingswood as he has been absent for a few years. His home in Pennsylvania is
not that far from ours. EVERY YEAR HE HOLDS HIS BIBLE HIGH AND EXCLAIMS,
“THIS IS THE REAL WORLD!” If he did not say this, we would be disappointed. Most everyyear some one says to me, “I hope that David Hollowood speaks, as I learnso much from him.”
DAVE HOLLOWOOD REMINDED US THAT GOD IS
DEVOID OF ALL “CHANGE”! HE IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! The audience was reminded “that there is no cause of ‘change’ existingin God!” He said that “in most of the new versions they have removedthe word “immutable.” It is written of God in Malachi 3:6: “I AM THE
LORD, I CHANGE NOT.”
STEVE HOLLOWOOD WAS THERE! Though STEVE did not speak, it was a personal joy for me to see him withus after so many years of absence. Good to see his mother, GAIL HOLLOWOOD, too. They are special people.
HUMBERTO GOMEZ REFRESHED OUR MEMORY“How KJB HELPED MY SPANISH BIBLE TRANSLATION” was Dr. GOMEZ’S SUBJECT (BFT
#4015DVDGomez @ $15.00+$7.00 S&H). His heart and soul is in his Bible translation work. We remember
when he would call my husband for words of advice. Since we saw Humberto last, he has had a seriousstroke. Though he has to rest and be very careful, God is still using this man for His Glory.
YOU KNOW ABOUT THE REINA/VALERA/GOMEZ BIBLE, DON’T YOU? As youknow, there is a huge Spanish Bible controversy. Always HUMBERTO GOMEZ used the REINAValera Bible. Yet, he could see some translation problems there. Burdened by God to help theSpanish Bible translation problem, he began checking over the various word problems within thetranslation he had known from his youth. After years and years of daily toil, we have THE REINA/
VALERA/GOMEZ TRANSLATION (BFT #3257 @ $40.00 + $8.00 S&H).
DR. DAVID BROWN LED OFF THE LAST EVENING
WITH A ROUSING SPEECH CALLED“THE HISTORY OF OUR ENGLISH BIBLE ON THIS
400 A NNIVERSARY OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE” th
The subtitle of this talk is “The Bible in English: From Wycliffe through the King
James Bible” (BFT #4015DVDBrown @ $15.00+$7.00 S&H). You who have ever heard
Pastor Brown speak know that his talks are full of substance. He knows what he wants
to say and he says it.

We learned that the MORNING STAR OF THE REFORMATION, by 1371, was
recognized in Europe as the leading theologian and philosopher of the day. It is said that30,000 students held to Wycliffe’s opinions. This hero of the University was honored by the title of THEGOSPEL DOCTOR. He lectured to a hall full and over-flowing as the Professor of Divinity--much to thechagrin of the ecclesiastical leaders. When he was in his middle thirties, Wycliffe began teaching and writingagainst the umbilical doctrines and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. He exposed the errors oftransubstantiation, sacramentalism, purgatory, indulgences, traditions being equal to the authority with the
Scriptures, the papacy, infant baptism, praying to the saints, and many other false
teachings. YOU MUST GET THE ANNUAL DEAN BURGON YEAR BOOK (2011) & READ THIS WHOLE MESSAGE. IT
IS MOST INFORMATIVE.
EDITOR DON JASMIN SPOKE NEXTDr. Jasmin’s subject was “THE FLAWLESSNESS OF THE KJB”
(BFT#4015DVDJasmin @$15.00 + $7.00 S&H). To be truthful, I do not remembertoo much about this speech. Perhaps it was his imitation of BOB JONES SENIOR thatthrew me off. With a raucous, loud, unintelligible voice, Dr. Jasmin shouted a few wordsof his impersonation of the ELDER BOB JONES, SR., the founder of Bob JonesUniversity. By the time I recovered from that surprise and his announcements of hisfuture South Carolina meetings, he was into his sermon–leaving me somewhat in a daze. MAYBE IT WAS THE HEAT–I don’t know. (The church’s air conditioner had brokendown a week before the meetings. The workmen were trying to fix it–all in vain!)
DR. JASMIN SAID, “WHEN THE KING JAMES BIBLE IS CHALLENGED, BY ITS
CRITICS, THE KING JAMES BIBLE ALWAYS COMES OUT THE WINNER.” He intended to compareseveral other versions like the ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION with the KJB, but ran out of time. Sad to say, the ESV is sold& promoted in the bookstore at BJU. Dr. Jasmin has a good magazine called THE FUNDAMENTALIST DIGEST. MAYBE hisspeech will be there. It will also be in our 2011 DBS MESSAGE BOOK.
DR. D. A. WAITE WAS THE LAST SPEAKER “DOES THE KJB REPLACE THE HEBREW & GREEK?”
DR. Waite, WHO HAS BEEN THE DBS PRESIDENT SINCE ITS FOUNDING
THIRTY-THREE YEARS AGO, used powerful POWER POINTS to present this subject.
There are some who teach that The King James Bible, or other translations,replace God’s Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek Words. In fact,some teach that they are not “original words.” Those teachers areblackening the good name of the King James Bible.
Dr. Waite taught that there is a REVOLUTIONARY
MOVEMENT proclaimed by the infamous GAIL RIPLINGER
that teaches that the English words of the King James
Bible replace the original languages. She pontificates that theEnglish words are “God-breathed and inspired by God.”
DR. WAITE SAID, “No translation must ever replace God’s Hebrew, Aramaic,
& Greek words. He continued: “We are not diminishing our King James Bible, we are exalting
God’s Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek Words above ANY translation.” GET DR. WAITE’S SPEECH! (BFT

A FEW DID SO MUCH
THANK YOU TAMIE, DAN, & ANNA
IT IS A MARVEL TO ME THAT OUR LITTLE CHURCH, THE BIBLE FOR TODAY BAPTIST
CHURCH (www.BibleForToday.org [BROWN BOX]) COULD ATTEMPT SUCH A MAMMOTH
PROJECT OF “HOSTING” THE DEAN BURGON SOCIETY’S ANNUAL MEETING. As I told you
previously, our house, where our church meets at 900 Park Avenue, Collingswood, NJ, was not
large enough for the conference, so PASTOR SPENCER and his large BIBLE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH opened its doors to us. DANIEL WAITE WORKED HOURS AND MONTHS SETTING UP
THAT HUGE CHURCH PLANT OF THREE BIG BUILDINGS FOR “STREAMING” THE CONFERENCE
AROUND THE WORLD AND TO PROVIDE WEEKLY STREAMING FOR THIS CHURCH. You have no
idea the amount of time, work, wires, and expense that went into that endeavor.

THE FEW PEOPLE OF OUR SMALL CHURCH PITCHED IN–AS IF WE WERE THE Spurgeon’s
METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE--AND MADE & SERVED MEALS PREPARED FOR 200 OR MORE PEOPLE.
TAMIE WAITE, DAN’S WIFE, WAS IN CHARGE OF THAT MASTERFUL OPERATION. The food wasgourmet, the service was A+, and the presentation of the food was CLASS A. I was so proudof her and the crew! Daniel Waite, who spear-headed the whole operation, wanted our churchto serve food so the DBS guests could fellowship one with another instead of going off to the manyrestaurants in Collingswood and neighboring communities. That it was! A TIME OF TRUE FELLOWSHIPAROUND GOOD TEACHING & FOOD!!
ONE OF MY PERSONAL DISAPPOINTMENTS WAS THAT SCORES WHO REGISTERED FOR THE
CONFERENCE AND FOR A PLACE AT THE MEAL TABLES DID NOT SHOW UP. That meant that we planned
on them, bought & cooked food for them; and they did not even care enough to cancel their reservations. Their reserved name tags are still unclaimed by their absence. I guess their mothers never taught themhow to cancel a reservation.
Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
(Proverbs 25:19)
I do not want to close this BFT UPDATE with a bitter note. Yet, I feel
constrained to say that something sad has happened to people today–evenborn-again Christians–in this age of twitter and E-MAIL. WE PEOPLE AREFORGETTING TO BE POLITE. WE ARE FORGETTING GOOD MANNERS! WE
ARE ON THE RUDE SIDE. I read from one prominent e-mail writer all thetime, who thinks he is so polite in his personal fast e-mailcommunications; yet, in reality, OFTEN he is curt, crisp, and condemning tothe reader’s eye & ear without realizing it.
A soft answer turneth away wrath:
but grievous words stir up anger. (Proverbs 15:1)

HUSBAND-LOVING LESSONS by YVONNE S. WAITE
291pages! BFT #3488 @ $25.00 + $8.00 S&H.
Several years ago a newly “born again” friend asked me
to teach her how to be a good Christian wife. I told her that I
had the perfect text book. It was the Bible. So she and I,
along with other friends, sat down around our dining room
table and looked into the Word of God to see what HE had to
say about being a good, Christian wife.
After every class during the week, I wrote down what we discussed and we
discovered from the Bible about our marriage. Much to my delight, I saw before
my eyes, marriages improve, marriages saved, and marriages blossom into newly
found love affairs between long-married mates. It was an exciting time in my life!
I HOPE YOU GET THIS BOOK TODAY.
