Was wondering if you got my message questioning the positioning of the two versions, since some of the stuff sent from usenet doesn't make the trip across, as expected. I remember using the King James Version in grade school back in the middle 1950s for our School's Christmas programme! Imagine that, only a half decade ago when the government schools were still allowed to script from the Bible the real, and authentic, Christmas Story. That's long gone now. So, it's not really entirely an accident either why I oppose so strongly government education of children these days, because they seem to get very little in the form of education, particularly historical things that have anything to do with our predominent western culture, which frankly is a synergistic history that involves the Christian religion as the centrepeice of such cultural understanding. No wonder why kids seem so confused these days? What is Christmas *REALLY* all about? You won't get an answer to that question in the government schools today. It's prohibited, as a lot else seems to be insofar as real education is concerned. > King James Version it shall be, restored from the first archive in > spk.phoenix, which is dated 1989.

At any rate, I will do my annual duty and obligation to bring the Christmas story in view on this channel according to the Revised Standard Version of the Bible. That is the same story that has been told in vernacular fashion throughout western history for the last 2000 years! I am proud to uphold that tradition, as I am sure you must be. I'm looking forward also to receiving your continuing segments of the Christmas season, and hoping you will post all such here for everyone to see and read, as they wish.
