You forgot, “Have you ever used a Bible other than King James? Then you are going to hell!” I walked out on that one...to a LOT of hostile stares. But I was younger then, and would have made a fight of it!

Indeed I did forget that one. One Bible I recieved as a gift means a lot. It was given to me by a friend where I once worked who was a Seventh Day Adventist. It's the NCV. The modern translations have helped many including myself study more. I just wish I could read and concentrate and put together thoughts like I once could. Now it takes me a while to do so. A lot of things I know and understand came from a window of about 5 years opened up to me where I had the time and ability to do intense reading. Now to even pray beyond a couple of complete thoughts I generally must go off alone meaning away from the house to seclusion.

You would be amazed by the effect ritual has on overcoming this very problem.
