He probably knows he's missing your point. But many people have KJBDS: King James Bible Derangement Syndrome. He has to blast it. It's an urge, like a bad itch which needs scratching.

Annoyed by Church Signs
- Thread starter Reformed1689

Church signs do not bother me.
First question - why have a church sign - to encourage people to attend
Different people have different reasons. - Seeing a funny sign from week
to week may just encourage to attend - if so - fantastic.
Other signs (or websites, while we are at it) may have information -
ie "Sunday best is not required"

BINGO! And it's an excellent reason!
No, not at all. If a group is unified in a false doctrine, the doctrine is no-less-false.
A church sign that displays current news, is changed regularly, and is lit at night shows people that:
1. It is a church sanctuary, and:
2. It's active.
The sign should show the denomination of that particular congregation.
But the signs don't annoy me. they do aid me in making choices if I'm looking for a church to visit. If I don't agree with the sign's message, I simply go on.

More excellent than many might suppose....So, my children memorize from A-beka curriculums (KJV)... And then they get to Sunday School and the sweet semi-clueless teacher hands them a NLT to memorize the same verses from.
It grates on my nerves. I just have my kids memorize in KJV anyway, because I want the consistency.
It is not doctrine so it cant cant be false doctrine.
Well, actually, it IS a doctrine, as a doctrine is anything taught. And the KJVO myth is certainly taught in some circles.
"Some" being the operative word.
Most often, some gets turned to all on B.B.
My favorite "church sign" is:
No Jesus, No peace
Know Jesus, Know peace
No Jesus, No peace
Know Jesus, Know peace
I don't find these types of signs annoying. When churches place messages on their signs, I expect they will generally express the theology of the particular church that placed it there, whether or not I agree with it.
I am not one who is easily annoyed, but closer to annoying to me are church sign announcements that are weeks or months out of date.
For disclosure, we only have a sign that says our that our church meets there.
I agree. The "exclusion" principle is flawed (you have to use words AND actions, not one or the other).

Every time I pass by a church that says, "First Baptist Church," I tell anyone with me, "I find that hard to believe!" Lol
