My grandfather was a gunnery sergeant in the Army during WW2. My dad and his brother were in the Navy and my mother was in the Marine Corp. I was born in Camp LeJeune NC. Having enough of military life growing up I didn't join. But I miss my old military family. With that said your link did not work as I am not a Veteran.

What kind of threat could I be to the church these days? I do not know a soul who still reads the KJV.
KJVO... My view is unique. Any English interpretation is just that... An interpretation. That is where the Strongs concordance comes in handy. Having gotten used to the KJV anything else sounds foreign.
How few bring their bible to church these days.
With all humbleness, how do you know across the world who does and does not bring a Bible to their church?
I don't know except for my church. My entire Sunday school class brings their bible.
If you only want to read the King James that's great. Read it peace and learn and grow and use it for evangelism.
Just don't make the rest of us who read the King James and other versions feel like we are wrong,
Any threat of KJVO is pure paranoia schizophrenia as who is like that these days? As far as interpretation a speaker will read from scripture and the listeners will see what they can gather from his interpretation. Even if all read from the KJV they would bring out different messages out of their studies. This is what made people like John Bunyan great... Their ability to bring out uniqueness out of their studies. John Owen, when asked by King Charles why he, a great and learned scholar, went to hear an uneducated tinkerer like John Bunyan preach had this to say: "I would willingly exchange my learning for the tinkerer's power of touching men's hearts."
I will go to church and the message outline will be presented on a screen. I don’t know what version the text is based on but know it reads differently from mine. I would think it rude to ask the speaker what version he is reading out of so I don't ask. I still have the KJV Open Bible given to me by the Freewill Baptist church decades ago. That church has been long ago closed up and I miss the people. The KJV Open Bible will always be a treasured possession of mine.

Be aware that Strong was an unbeliever who denied inspiration.
Nonetheless, the front (a listing of all the words of both Testaments) is a solid tool for comparing scripture with scripture. But I avoid the subjective (and sometimes erroneous) definitions in the back.
You do now!
Wrong question. Rather, "What kind of threat could I be to Satan and his kingdom these days?"
and
Indeed. But in either case, realize that if it wasn't the KJV issue, then it would be some other cause celebre for those deceived folks.
This is part of the problem of "attending church" - i.e. submitting, on whatever level, to someone else's authority (and any deception that may be attached to it). Yeah, such would be rude if you accepted the invite at the first, only to come back with such a poor witness (e.g. asking what version he is reading). To be safe, plead the blood over his "version" and carry on as his guest.

If I were to meet a KJVO believer as fanatical as I chances are we would not be in agreement over some point of doctrine.

Well, being extreme and unquestioning about anything is not desirable. But the real bugaboo is the pejorative KJVO label.
Pejorative - a word expressing contempt or disapproval.
There are three spiritual values young people are born with
1. Acceptance
2. Approval
3. Appreciation
To become unique is to shun the acceptance, approval, and appreciation of others. So to be held in contempt over some belief ought not be that bad of a thing. Here is a young associate pastor doing a good job covering the subject...

As far as the KJV... Yes... It is my preferred version...
But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. - 1 Corinthians 11:16
If those who read it are contentious and wanting to squabble all day about doctrine, then I would know why people have a problem with it.

I need some clarification. Are you a King James Onlyist or a King James preferred?
There is a really big difference.
The scripture goes from Greek to English
The scripture goes from Hebrew to English
“Peace I leaue with you, my peace I giue vnto you, not as the world giueth, giue I vnto you: let not your heart bee troubled, neither let it bee afraid.”
John 14:27 (KJV)
Obviously things have changed along the way. I would caution anyone as to the translators. I would want to know whose hands the translation is in.
I personally like the 1973 version of Jesus Christ Superstar.... But do I like Jesus Christ Superstar? Is it not the issue of whose hands the drama is in? I mean are we going to make Jesus out as a drag queen? I would worry over modern day translations whether or not people are watering down the word of God. I can listed to other messages in different translations. I want my KJV in hand to see what has been changed and how much difference the translation made to the truth of the scripture.
I like the KJV because it speaks the word with authority.
