The Disappearance of the Dean Burgon Society

Check out the current condition of their website: dean burgon society

The links go to either ridiculous non-Christian pages (Group Entertainment Options in Seoul for Large Parties), or Spanish gibberish. Looks to me like Dr. Waite's son has let the website lapse, and a place holder company of some kind has it now. The younger Waite does have a website here: Dean Burgon Society. However, the last meeting of the DBS listed there was in 2023. But of course that website retains the nasty attack on me and my negative review of an article by H. D. Williams. I don't mind; negative publicity is still publicity, right? :Biggrin

It looks like the website has been hacked to promote Instagram etc.

Negative publicity is not publicity, it is detrimental to various degrees. But I would not be concerned about this attack.

Thanks. It's been out there for a while, but I still get invited places. Lectured on Bible translation at one meeting a couple of years ago.

Someone at the King James Bible Research Council posted the following on their web site on March 22, 2026. This is stated:

"We are pleased to announce this year’s winner of the KJBRC “Defender of Scripture Award” is Dr. Kirk DiVietro!

Dr. DiVietro has been KJV/TR advocate since Bible College. He is an outstanding Greek Scholar and well versed in Hebrew. He has defended the KJV/TR in writing and speaking for many years. He was a key leader in the now dissolved Dean Burgon Society for many decades and continues his advocacy for the King James Bible."

If I remember correctly, Kirk DiVietro was the moderator for the last Dean Burgon Society meeting after D. A. Waite passed away.

I have been told that D. A. Waite's son is not into the whole KJV0 thing, let us call it. So he may not have had a vested interest in keeping the DBS going.
